"HE CAN NOT WIN"
IS rs APPLICABLE TO WlLklN
son AS JASTREMSkl.
PLEA OF THE SANDERSITES

Bosscs-Rivalry of Two Candidates
Should Be on Friendly Terms-No
| Reason for Dissension,
| Below is given space to a Conmunlca-
| ton from DR. W V. Taylor Of Ola,
La. whose communication of recent
date was given publicity in part Ill he
Caucasian. There was no attempt or in
| tent at criticism Of this most estlnable
gcptleman and good citizen. He is an
ardent friend AMI champion of General
Jastremski. for which he should be com
mended The Caucasian Is aud has al
ways been a friend of General Jas
tremski and has noted with regret the
statement that He Can Not Win.
This has also been and is being said of
Mr. Wilkinson. Unfortunately some
men are in nliscreet i'll their allusion to
General Jastremski and Mr.. Wilkinson
He can not win is hy-play of the
Sandersites to weaken Wilkinson where
Jastrcmski is strong, and strengthen
Jastrenski where Wilkinson is weak
As Wilkinson and Jastrcmski are con-
tending for principles almost identical
i'll opposition to Sanders and the Bosses,
the most amicable undcrstan ling should
prevail between the friends Of the two
candidates who stand for the people
against the Bosses Here follows DR..
TaylorS letter:
Ola, La. Oct. 10. 1907.
The Caucasian In your weekly Of Oc-
tobcr Is. 1907, you do me the honor ot
referring to my letter written i'll the
Monroe News of September 20 After
quoting extracts therefron. you pro
pound the following lnterrogatory
WHO are the political enemies Of Gen
eral Jastremski?" and proceed to answer
said interrogatory as follows: Surely
not the friends Of Mr. Wilkinson who is
stan1ing Numerically i'll opposition to
the Bosses and Bosssn. This ! con
slider somewhat of criticism of my
letter written especially against the I'M
fair cry "he can not win and an TN ust
effort to shoulder the entire blame fo1
its PRONUNCIATION upon Governor Sanders
and the Bosses. am not IN the habit
Of making charges which can not be
substantiated Therefore am reluctant
w forced to dissent from the declaration
Of The Caucasian My personal expert
ence and observation IS that this unfair
appeal to the political opportunists
fnls equal favor i'll camps, and among
the following. of Mr. Wilkinson and the
Lieutenant Governor. An instance m
point: On October p at Jena where Mr..
Wilkinson addressed some three or fou
thousand Catahoulinas, and where Judge
w. +. Blackman also spoke in behalf OF
the candidacy of Mr. Wilkinson, the
Judge in the course of that address de-
cared with emphasis that General Jas
treinski could not win. The cry of the
political opportunists This can be
abundantly proven. The Wilkinson fol
lowing in Monroe, Alexandria, i'll Ola
and doubtless in other places are using
this unfair slogan i'll their efforts to
strengthen the hands of their favorite.
The friends of .Jastremski are conduct
ing his campaign upon high plane sur
roun led by a clean atmosphere. and 1t
is but lust that his opponents meet him
upon this field. | have no contention
with Mr.. Wilkinson. ! know him TO be
clean. virile Democrat, and should he
be chosen to make the race for the gov
ernorship. in the second primary, ! will
support him as Loyalty as the "Caucas-
ian," as | have always stood for good
government. and against the boss sys-
| TEN, as evidenced by my support OF
| General Jastremski four years ago.
With these facts before me, respect
| fully submit that the declaration and
contention of the Caucasian can not
be sustained And therefore | reiterate
nv appeal to the manhood Of the follow
| ing of both the distinguished opponents
of General Jastre,nski TO stop bush
whacking, cease your firing in the dark
come out INTO the open Ill Gods clear
| sunlight and fight like true men. | an
pleased to discover that the Caucasian
i'll opposing General Jastrems<l is favor
ing a fair. clean fight, and respectfully
invite the rank an file who are follow
ing the banner of Mr. Wilkinson to en-
uate its cornmendable example. Re
spectfully.
