Hde'reStiE of the election hel0
Fceslay inst. Martin Parish was
'%'sarpfise TO many of our citizens.
at was a surprise to the-Jastrem-
sskisupporters and a disappoint-
Snrent to the Blanchardites, who
Swere all the ringipoliticians.
For a great'many years the vo-
tiers Of this parish have always
seiGed with the politicians who
were'in power. Four years ago a
popular movement was made
against the administration in pow
.er and the fight was made against
ibossism and ring rule.
Theliast parish tight was made
'on' the same lines, but the opposi-
'tion made the serious mistake of
fighting ring and boss rule with
odd, defeated politicians who had
ibeen defeated as bosses and ring
ssters, this shows clearly that the
barge majority Of the voters Of st.
Martin parish are opposed to ring
rule, bessism and machine politics.
The people refused at the parish
primaries to support old bosses
who were making a campaign
against bosses.
The'elcction Tuesday again,pro-
wed that the voters of the parish
'sFe'not any longer under the con-
strol aad .inHuence of the bosses,
THE rulers of political affairs, but
Chat they vote according to their
own minds and for the candidates
they think best, and their votes
recently shows clearly that they
are pronounced against rings and
bosses.
1t is high time that we come te
this, We have for number oil
years been ruled by one man Of
the other, the people of the entire
community was compelled to vote
for candidates that were placed
before them by the bosses on ont
side and candidates put out by !.
few disorganiEed citizens on th,
other side, and the rest was don,
by machine work.
But we are pleased TO say tina
the people Of this parish are tired
of all such practice and are nov
decided to assert their power and
authority in their political affairs
and to hereafter smash up all po
litical combinations that will b.
for the politicians against the peo
pile.
The people are the power, ant
they alone should select their pub
Aic servants.

verely criticised for his action by
those of the opposition, who were
deprived of the free use of drpli-
Gates, while his friends maintain
ed that the law said shat the
Sheriff may furnish certified poll
lists" but that it was not compul-
sorry for him to furnish these lists.
According to the rules of cleo
ton aud the Interpretation of the
law by the Daily States, the organ
and best Champion of Blanchard
and the bosses, as we take the fol-
lowing from the Daily States of
January 18th 1904:
ABOUT THE POLL TAX.
PAY attention to these things:
Under the constitution voter can
vote OH being registered, of course. and
on presenting his poll tax receipts for
1902 and 1903; in lieu of original re-
ceipts he can vote on duplicate receipts;
and In lieu of these he can vote If his
name appears on the official lists Of poll
tax payers for 1902 and 1903, furnished
to each polling booth BY the parish com.
mittee and certified by City Treasurer
McGrath. Al stated, zach polling booth
will have at haHd certified list for the
purpose of accommodating voters.
Now, we lave not gone over the
statute books to look after all the
laws, stupid and otherwise, consti-
tutional or not, laws made'to per-
petuate rings, but we have looked
into the Constitution of the State
of Louisiana, which is better than
all the laws, and we find in the
articles of suffrage and elections,
Article 1893 which reads as fol.
lows:
Every person shall before being al
Lowell to vote exhibit to the commits.
sioners Of election his poll tax receiptsfol
two years, issued on the official form. 'ol
duplicates thereof, in the event Of loss
or proof. thereof may be made by q certi
fcate OF the tax collector. which shat
he sent to the commissioners of the Sc
veral voting PRECINCTS, showing list o
those who paid said two years. poll take
as above provided and the dates Of pay
ment. It's hereby declared to be forge
Try, and punishable as such, for any ia,
collector or other to ante date or alter
poll tax receipt. Any person wko' shal
pay the poll tar Of another or adUanc
him money for that purpose in order t
influence his uote shall be guilty Of bride
ny and punish accordingly.
Now if the law has not beel
compiled with, it is a matter 70
the courts to decide, the wild an,
foolish talk of dissatisfied politi
clans will amount to nothing.

BROOKLYN's BIG DRYDoCK.-The Navy De-
nartunenf has decided TO allow the lowest bidder for
the construction of the big drydock at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard additional time in which to execute
his contract. There has been some question
whether he would be able TO negotiate for the bond
required by the government before the contract
will he formally closed, and it is said that the
possible contractor has been contemplating asking
to relieved from mis- obligation thus early in
the transaction. The department holds the bid
ders certified check for $4,000 however. and
fuses surrender that important piece OF paper,
promising to keep 1t should the lowest bidder
fuse 10 execute the contract. The Navy Depart
