Voters Want to Know Where Candi
dates Stand on Vital Issues Before
Pledging Allegiance.

Lieutenant Governor j. y. Sanders
address to the voters of the State,
while quite lengthy. is clear cut and
to the point on the many subjects that
are of vital interest to the people OF
this commonwealth. He states his pO-
sition without equivOcation or reser-
vatlOn, and it only remains for him to
convince the voters that he is in dead
earnest on the subjects to make him a
winner in the race for governor. The
voters OF Louisiana have been hood
winked and bamboozeled by the poll
ticianS entirely too long. The time
has come when the intelligent voter
will have to know where a candidate
stands upon the vital issues of the
times before they will give them their
support. 1t is not matter OF whether
a candidate for governor, or for the
Legislature favOrS a two cent railroad
fare or. not, as that is not of vital i'm
portance to the vast majority OF the
voters who are not much giving to
taking extensive trips in palace cars.
But the voter does want to know
where the Office seeker stands, and
what he intends to do upon such vital
questions as equalizing and reducing
taxation, the building and maintain
ing of better public roads, the ad-
vancement of the public education,
immigration and dual office holding.
On these, and many other vital ques-
tons, Mr.. Sanders has clearly an
nounced his position in the platform
which he has formulated. While the
platform has the proper ring to it,
voters should not be in too great a
hurry in pledging their support to
any candidate, as there are still 9TH
ers to be heard from, and they should
also remember thatlpOlltical platforms
are made OF promises, which are like
pie crust, easily broken. We make
no reflections, or cast insinuations
upon any political aspirant, as we
don't know who we care to line ur
with yet until we see the complexion
of the political birds with whom they
flock as the campaign progresses.
