REID AND GARDINER VICTORIOUS.
Given Handsome MajOrities Over their
Opponents i'm Second Primary.

|
Although several more votes were
| polled because of Republicans having
| been permitted to take part, yet there
was less excitement in Welsh at the
! second primary held Thursday of last
week than at the first. A total of l65
votes were cast. In the vote for sher-
if ID. j. Reid received fraction less
than five to his opponents one, the
result being Reid 136, Perkins %. For
clerk of court, however, the contest
was close, Gill receiving majority
of eleven over Gardiner.
Regarding the general result we
print the following from the Lake
Charles Americans: $50, q.
The result of Thursdays Democrat
ic primary leaves no doubt of the peo-
pies intention to have new deal in
the affairs at the court house. d. j.
Reid was endorsed by them with an
emphatic majority for sheriff over the
present incumbent and James w. Gar
diner, the alert and suave young man
who has just resigned as assistant
cashier at the Calcasieu National, re-
ceiyed a majority over FL. 9. Gill for
the district clerkship. After next May
there will be new faces in the court
house, Judge e. d. Miller being the
only court official who has escaped
from the all-pervading flood.
The result of the sheriff S race was
discounted several days ago, but Mr..
Gardeners triumph was even greater
tn an his friends looked for. To OBJ
tain a large majority over such an
able and popular official as HI. G. Gill,
whose administration of the office has
been almost faultless, is a compliment
of which Mr.. Gardiner may we'll feel
proud.
d. J. Reid, the Democratic nominee
for sheriff, held that office for twelve
years previous to 1896 and was defeat
ed that year, after one of the most
sensational campaigns Calcasieu ev-
er saw, by A. L. Lyons, by MAORI
ty of little more than 200. In 1900
he was a candidate again, put was de-
feated by John A. Perkins, the regu-
lar Democratic nominee. In the first
primary this year he received 1,370
votes, almost as many as his three
opponents combined. In the face of
that vote and the vote he received last
the desire of the Democrat
ic voters to have him for sheriff can
not be questioned.
James w. Gardiner, the nominee
for district clerk, is native of Louis
lana, was reared in Lake Charles and
is one of the youngest men ever elect
ed to important Office in Calcasieu.
Mr.. Gardiner has never before held
public Office, and his race as % novice
will keep politicians talking for many
a day. Mr.. Gardiner is not only
agreeable and courteous, but is emil
nently we'll fitted for the Office, and it
is matter of public congratulation
tn at the high record of efficiency made
by clerk Gill will be maintained.

Meeting of New York Ants is
Addressed by Bryan


NEW YORK, June 20-Cooper Union
was crowded tonight sat the anti-Par-
,ker convention called by some of those
VINO DO not concur in the Parker in
strucuons given atetlfe New York state
conventions. William j. BRYAN was the
principal speaker Before making his
address he said he would not name his
1aVorlte candidate for president. but
he made savage attack on the 'ireor
GAMERS and vigorously opposed the
nomination of Judge Alton b. Parker
who was held UP as the candidate Of
the corporations and not of the peo-
pie.
Judge Samuel Seabury,, of the CITY
court, who presided, spoke OF Parker
as the candidate of the "plutocracy. y
He advised the meeting to repudiate
Parker and urged the sending of a DEL
egation to st. Louis to protest against
his nomination, and to assure the con-
vention that if nominated Parker could
not carry the state Of New York.
The platform adopted in speaking of
the recent Democratic state conven-
ton, recites that the convention. in
structed for Parker by a vote of 3O1
to 149. and that many of those who
voted against this resolution of in
strnctioh represented the Democratic
districts of the state, where. enthusiast
to party success. The platform goes
on to say that Parker's candidacy is
discredited by the character of his
sponsors, and that neither he nor
those who speak for him have pre-
scented Ibis candidacy so as even to de-
serve success.
Mr.. Bryan said in part
|. 1 want to say that until YOU have an
election at which Judge Parker gets more
votes than~I did, I shall insist on COM
ing back here. / am entitled to say that
the doctrines we cherish in the West are
not so unpopular here.rsl believe that the
national convention should not nominate
the man whom your state convention has
recommended. The great question this
year is not the money question; but it is
whether we are to have a plutocracy or a
Democracy. My own position has been
and will be that I shall not attempt to
decide upon the availability of Mr.. Hearst
or others. All / ask is that we have a
man on whom there is not the faint of
monopoly.
/ want to give some reasons for my. OPP
posing Mr.. Parker 1 believe that he
would be a weak candidate in the cam
paign, and if elected a great disappoint-
ment to the people. Mr., Parker goes be-
fore the country on a coWardly. straddling
platform The Democrats of this country
are brave men. It requifetf brave men to
stand up for Democracy an 1896. charge
here that while Parker has concealed his
views, from the people he has made. them
known to the men behind him Parker is
travelling as a negative Quantity. He
stands for nothing positive.

Gustav Scholle, representing the

penditure of less money for patch
work and more for permanent roads,
was present at the meeting and pro-
tested against the work Of the COM

transact its business without his as

then the combination which asserted
