Louisiana wants Winner.
"As to national politics. an sure the
Inclination OF Louisiana Democrats Is
strongly insistent for choosing q positive
character. an active. vigorous candidate,
who has given actual proof Of winning
qualities our folks are growing very
weary OF chunking away their ballots for
issues and candidates that have lost US
all the old dehatable States. We are
bound up In al our great national inter-
ests with the future; VIC have no time to
be rhepsodizlng about the party's past
glories. The great lsthmian canal con-
struetion, the great policy Of inland
waterway improvement along with legis-
lation to stop abuses and excuses Of
corporate privileges. so as TO enable US
equally TO enjoy the blessings OF a pro-
gressive government. are what concern Us
most. and We want a candidate who will
step out and forth. face forward. FOR those
things.
Party Must Carry New York.
''The Democratic party does not lack
for material to answLr such a demand.
There are Folk, Of Missouri; Johnson. OF
Minnesota, Culberson. Of Texas, and
Chanler. Of New York. To my mind
recognizing the absolute necessity OF car
rying New York. cannot at ell see that
any Democrat yet named from any quar-
ter has shown himself the equal Of
Lieut. Gov. Chanler. His campaign
last year and his election. after years
and years Of defeat and party despond-
ency. has done more 70 revive hope
among Democrats everywhere than any
thing since the election OF 1892. He not
only proved himself a wonderful vote
getter, reversing tremendous uajorities
against the Democratic party, bat he
has finely justified the popular decision
in his favor az the polls.
Sees Chance for Democrats.
cit would be nothing short OF criminal
folly for tho next Democratic national
convention to fan 20 recognize the su-
periOr quality Of so strong. clean, and
popular a man as Lewis Stuyvesant Chan
Ter. The Republican convention Is not
going TO be a harmonious affair. Not
for many years have so many psFplexing
issues confronted Republicans. There
fore, our chance 10 regain exclusive con-
lrol Is IN I90S, and We want % look fer
a winner man who has been a success
on the hastings, az the polls. and in Of
fice-and q man above all who can unite
the factions, restore harmony, and re-
vive old-time enthusiasm In the party.
Just such q man is Lieut.. Gov
CHAMBER. The earnestness with which all
factions Of New York Democrats are for
him is great good news
