Wants Explanation.

A Louisiana paper wants to know
why some one did not discover some
terrible crimes Mr.. Sanders il being
charged with before ne became can
didate for Governor. Some of those
who are now loudly disclaiming his
unfitness for the office of Governor
We're loudest in their praise of him
when he was csndidatefo Lieuten-
ant Governor.
AZ the campaign progresses San
ders' political record will be fully ven-
tilated. When he was candidate
for Lieutenant Governor against the
gallant and fearless Barksdale, The
Caucasian raped him some hard
blows, but ell attention Was then
conferred ON the contest between
Judge Blanchard and Gen. .Iastrern-
ski. The Caucasian has been giving
and will continue to present good
reasons why Sanders should not h

in 1894 and 1898 he was a member
of the House.
In 1894, House bill 317, by Mr..
Rogers, which repealed the Sunday
day Law in New Orleans, came ND on
June 22d, 1894, for final passage in
the House and passed with two votes
to spare, Mr.. Sanders voted for the
bill. (See House journal of 1894 p.
$780,
In 1898. four years afterwards,
when the Shelley bill for the same
purpose came up. Mr.. Sanders, in
stead Of being on the stool of repent
ance, worked and voted for this law,
which lacked two votes of passing
the House. Mr.. j. Y. Sanders in ex-
planning his vote, as quoted in the
proceedings of the Legislature, report
Ell in the Picayune of June Sd, 1898,
said:
1T was useless for any Legislature to attempt
t. legislate morality for the people. A man
keeps the Sabbath according to to the faith that
Is In him. Mr.. Sanders went on to plead for per-
sonal liberty. saying he had desire to have
the people OF another parish dictate what he
euoufu 10 UT snOulo NOT 10. ne tuOuK0t Jnert
was more harm in prohibition than In it's absence
There is great faith and credit to
be given the House journal and the
reports Of an impartial paper like the
Picayune. Ii SO how about that sol
itary and sorrowed for vote on the
Sunday law?
We next come 70 the report of the
recen. speech of Mr.. Sanders in Lees
vile. We show in another article
how the truth was there trified
with by Mr.. Sanders. 1t is true that
Mr.. Sanders in the Picayune of Sep
TENDER LIST claims that he has been
mosquoted and that what WAS said
by him at Leesville was said ocular
". We fail to see the slightest point
in a joke calling his opponents "mis-
cradle wretches." and in his scurri-
l0us speech there, and We again pre-
fer to believe the correspondent of a
reputable paper. Mr.. Sanders is
again contrndmted by affidavit after
affidavit in the Banks and Bosses
episode of Vermilion.
These matters affect Mr.. Sanders
veracity, and will have to be explain
ed by the journals supporting him.
IN if man habitually fails to tell
the truth he is not worthy of the sup
port of honest men for any Office
PlaQuemines Protector.

MIR. Sanders. Reply Refa,ed.

Mr.. sanders Reply kefuted.
The statements of Messrs. NJ. T.
Gordy, P. H. Gilbert and Otis Hoff-
pauir, who corroborate the assertion
Of Mr.. Sanders that he did not say
that he (Sanders) had the support
Of thirteen ont OF sixteen banks in
the city Of New Orleans, and that all
Of the ward bosses but two were sup
porting him, are positively refuted
by the atiidavits of Sheriff Adam
Boudreau, Clerk Simonet Leblanc,
and Others.
Tins we have the simple statement
Of parties who support Mr.. Sanders,
opposed to the sworn statements OF
those who corroborate Mr.. j. NJ.
Parker in saying that MIR. Sanders
did say exactly that very thing.
Moreover, one Of the parties goes
further, and discredits Mr.. Otis Hoff-
pauir, as follows:
Replying therefore, beg to state
that on the 14th day of August, l
was present and heard Otis H0ff-

Veraclty Vel Non.

Inc WOru OF the dOvernOr OIL LOUISE
ana ought to I've like that of Csesar's
wife, above all suspicion. Several
matters lately have trnnspired which
bring in question the veracity of one
of the candidates for governor. We
submit the facts to the reading pub
lie, noting that the suppressi0 veri is
often equHlly wrongful with the sug-
gesfiO EaIsi. In the former category
might be placed the assault by Mr..
Sanders on Mr.. Wilkinson because
the parish Of Piaquemines has a liQ-
uor license Of only one hundred dol
lars. while st. Mary parish, with the
aid Of Mr.. Sanders alleged influence,
has u license of five hundred dollars,
and the inference il stated that if he,
Wilkinson, is not ruler in small things
in his parish he ought not to be made
governor in the State.
In this connection why did Mr..
Sanders suppress the. fact, that st.
Mary parish from 1892, when his
official incuml,ency began, up to
1906, when his candidacy for govern
or began, had aliqnor license for four
teen years ut one hundred dollars per
year, and that the license of five hum
dred dollars was in 1906, avowedly
levied to help build Il new courthouse
which is now being built?
At Winfield ON July 31st. 1907,
Mr.. Sanders before a prohibition au-
dience, claimed that he had aided in
