an effort on the part Of Judge Park
er to unite both factions and bring to-
gether individuals whose personal diff
ferences might interfere with harmon
ious work for the national ticket his
callers during the three days of his
present trip to New York have includ-
ed representatives of every wing of the
Democratic party. In this connection
conspicuous among those who visited
the candidate yesterday were DR.. John
IL. Girdner, who has been the host of
William ]. Bryan whenever he came
to New York, and Alexander G. Troop,
Of New Haven. who served as chair
| man OF the Connecticut state commit
tee and conducted an enthusiastic
campaign for Colonel Bryan four years

German and Rayner Bury the Hatchet.
An incident that has created the
most notable comment was the meet
ing between Senator'S German and
Isador Rayner, of Maryland, accom-
panied by an announcement from their
close political associates whatever diff
ferenceS heretofore existed between
Maryland leaders have beendissipated,
at least SO far as the present cam
paign is concerned. Ex-Representative
Ben T. Cable, of Illinois, who called on
the judge, is another whose coming is
said to mean a unit of effort from op-
posing organizations of the Illinois
Democracy. yAS &
| .,.. Has Made Many Acquaintance.
| The candidate has made many ac-
quaintances on this visit to New York.
Much of his time has been taken up by
conferences with National chairman
Taggart, Senator German, William F.
Sheehan, Delaney Nicoll, August Bel
! mont George F. Parker, Daniel Nc
Conville, and others attached to the
national headquarters, but he has had
the opportunity as we'll to see scores
of leading Democrats who came to
New York for the solepurpose of meet
| ing him.

"HOfty TOity."

The success of Weber & Fields tour
OF a few OF the principal cities last
spring was something to marvel at;
the receipts 1t is said averaging from
SIS, 900 to $4,000 per week, and the
demand from managers throughout

that they have decided to put on the

most popular Of their many successes,
" Hofty Toity," which ran for asolid
year at their cosy little theatre In
New York. A trip to New York is
incomplete without an evening with

The paramount issue, and upon

State Democratic Platform.

The Democratic party OF Louisiana,
pledging itself to the faithful Observ-
ance of the principles hereinafter an
nounced. solicits the support and SUI
frages of the white electors OF the
State for it's State nominees for State
officers ut the general election to be
held on Tuesday, April 10, 1904.
The national Democratic party Is
the party of the people. the cOnserv-
ators of constitutional liberty in the
republic, and of Caucasian civilian
tiOn and institutions I'm the Southern
States of the Union, and to 1t the
Democracy of Louisiana gives I'M
wavering allegiance.
Every promise Of prosperity and
progress made by the Democratic
party to the people of Louisiana has
been scrupulOusly fulfilled by the adj
ministrations of Nichols, Wiltz, Nc
Emery, Foster and Heard, which are
endorsed, and which in their benefi-
cent results will he emulated by the
administration to be inaugurated
under the party's guidance.
The cause of public education Is
sacred to the Democratic party. 1t
will be fostered with all the wisdom,
CttIC anu lACt I'll iOCeAo w hsSh tifS lssA
ty can bestow. The party will strive
to develop and maintain the highest
standard for the general diffusion OF
knowledge among the people, and to
that end will endeavOr to multiply
the common schools, lengthen their
terms, increase the pay OF the teach
lers, and, while in all practicable ways
strengthening the State universities,
colleges and industrial schools, will
seek as its ideal to place a good CON-
mon school education within reach
OF every child in the State.
The Importance OF protection
against the floods of the Mississippi
| is recognized. While the assistance
Of the federal government has been
considerable, the main burden for an
adequate levee system within the
State OF Louisiana is upon the State
and its levee districts. The Demo
cratic party will see to 1T that eht
effectiveness of levee protection shall
be preserved and increased.

day afternoon to finally dispose of
the proposition of the Big Pine Lum-
Der Co. to locate their mill mt this
place, provided the citizens Of Colfax
would furnish them sixty acres OF
land for their mill site.
Capt. C. H. Teal was selected az
chairman of the meeting, and MIR.
j. A. Williams was elected secretary.
The committee appointed to raise
the $4,000 necessary to purchase the
land reported that thus far they had
secured subscriptions for only about
one-third of the amount.
Capt. Teal stated that If the citi-
zens of Colfax would raise $500, one
half of the amount, he would give
the other $500 necessary to secure
the location OF the mill here. In 9TH
err words, that he would take $25 per
acre for the 60 acres OF land, which
everybody recognized as worth fully
$50 per acre or more.
This proposition was at once ac-
cepted by those present, who recog.
nized Capt. Teal's liberal offer as q
virtual guarantee that the mill would
be located here, and they gave 8

would forthwith make up the $500.
