THE FIGHT FOR PRIMARIES

The Guardian Journal, published in
Homer, Claiborne parish, in urging
nominations by primary elections, says
IF the people of this State are really in
earnest in regard to this matter, then
the first and most important thing to do
is to organize tlse friends and support
ers of the movement. When that is done
the movement will at once become a
formidable one. Until it is done, il can
hardly be said to rise to the dignity of
movement. The one way to win the
fight for primaries, and for that still
more desirable thing, complete home
rule and local se1f-gover1rrnent, is, thor
ough orga nizatiop. It is the way to GER
tain success. Then why not organize and
organize, at once.

NOMINATIONS BY PRIMARIES.


The system of nomination by white
Democratic primaries of all candidates
from governor to constable, besides
giving the most humble and weak mem
bers OF the party direct voice in the
selection of public officials, will prove
to be an educator of the masses of the
people and a training school for candi-
dates. Primaries will force all candi-
dates to appear before the people for the
discussion of public men and matters,
and this discussion will familiarize the
people with public men and affairs
Monroe News.
The nominations by primaries has
been a hobby Of the Caucasian. For
years we have advocated this system
against the cut and dried" convention.
1t is now time for the forcefr1l agita-
ton Of this question. Why should the
politicians dominate over the people
who have the power if they would exer-
else it lntelligently. The people should
know and have the right to know where
stand the gentlemen who are seeking

MICHEL FOR GOVERNOR.

z + a
] The Felieiapas says If Michel stays
in the gubernatoria1 race he will have
a fine showing, but it will be aWfu1ly
rough on the off1ee-holders and seekers.
They will have to subscribe to two cam
paign funds and play Michel and Blan-
chard both Tor favorites None of them
will dare to come out boldly on the
stump or II the press. and advocate one
and oppose the other. Michefs can
didacy will make them sweat blood lit
EARLY He'll be hard man to beat With
New Orleans behind him he can't be
beaten If he can demonstrate conclu-
sively that he can get and hold New Or
leans, the administrations support in
the country parishes will quit Blanchard
largely and go to him. He is popular
with the people and he is strong with
the people, and the people are getting
tired Of having their candidates selected
for them by the powers that be, and two
or three years in advance, at that. But
Michel should not be supported for the
Office unless he will give positive assur-
ances that he will stay in the race TO the
finish. The man who will solicit and OBJ
tain the suffrage of the people, and then
deliberately trade It off under pressure,
to suit his own convenience and pros
poets, or those of others, deserves to be
5classed with Benedict rflo1d.
