PRIVATE CHARACTER AN
ISSUE!

Of course it is.
Never at any time was private char
acter not part of the politics of any
candidate.
Of course yellow dog" party men dc
not recognize the fact that a bad man
will be bank official, and that neither
nominations nor election to office do not
nor will not make bad men better men.
AS Judge Thomas Lewis of Opelousas
said in recent address, private char
acter is always an issue in politics, just
as important and perhaps more forceful
than any ither issue"
