The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1903-03-04
Al POLITICAL STRAW.

.
Al friend Of the Caucasian who has
returned from New Orleans where he
associated with some of the "b'hoys," on
reporting his experience state there is a
strong indication, politically, in favor of
Hon. Jared Saunders. speaker of the
House, for Governor" This report in
one sense is surprising, and yet, on re-
nection, Saunders of ST. Mary may loom
40 is powerful candidate for the gov
ernorship:: indeed, he may eclipse all
others and Be the man upon whom the
few may design to invest the title, the
honor, and the power and influence of
Governor. The suggestion, as political
straw. may be reckoned with degree of
consideration which no self-interest can
minimize. The Caucasian has repeatedly
warned the people, the Democrats who
vote, against the machine We believe in
the rule Of the majority, but it is fact,
as patent as Il IS notorious, that the ma
jority have been dominated and ruled by
the n1inority--the few who set the trig-
gers and FIRE off their little guns accord
ing TO program. Believing firmly in the
rule Of the majority, we have been an
opponent OF the method of nomination
BIZ conventions and favor all nominal
lions W primary elections as being fair
and just and consistent with Democratic
principles and teachings It is because
the few can not control the nominations
by primaries thai they favor nominations
by conventions But reverting to Mr..
Siindsrs 81 ST. Mary, we do not think he
u the man for the high and exalted POI
sition Of Governor OF Louisiana. In
Louisiana there are stronger men, bet
Ier men and men who have been more
y touch and II sympathy with the dear
coed people Other objections could be
nfeed against the gentleman from ST..
Mar, and without repeating old his
tory Il may be said that no member Of

There breaks a slim, refulgent ray.
Proclaim to every tribe and race
The autocrat's benign decree;
The serf at last. in saying grace,
To any God may make his plea.
The long, dark age is nearly past;
The dawn begins 70 break at last.
The file is laid upon the link
Whereby the peasant drags his chain,
And. having won the right to think,
Perhaps his toll may bring him gain;
The hopeless slave of yesterday
Sees freedom looming far away.
Let heralds bear the news abroad,
That every tribe and race may know,
The serf may seek to find his God
Where'er his conscience bids him go.
The hairy ,Muscovite has passed
The fifteenth century at last.
