When cotton begins to move to
market the spectators pound il
down on the plea that there is a
surplus. There is occasionally a
squirt OF higher prices and when
the gudgeons have swallowed this
bait by buying futures. then the
bottom is dropped out and the
are swallowed by the
big fish. The farmers will never
reap the benefits of their toll
until they FIX the price of the
staple. through organization and
then hold it for that price. As
long as the spectators are per-
mitted TO play them. liFe an
angler who has hooked a big
trout. they will inevitably be
landed on the losing side. The
only way is to hold the staple for
fifteen cents.

though it has been known that we
have favored the candidacy of
Hon. ]. Y. Sanders. We today
place the name of that honorable
gentleman at our mast head. We
had not intended taking any
decided stand in this campaign,
but when we find that many vile
and unfounded reports are circu-
lated throughout the State against
good man and our choice for
GOVERNOR we could not refrain
from liftirg our voice against
such methods.
We have known Mr.. Sanders
for many years and we feel that
he. having tried life in all of its
phases, comes nearer knowing
the wants of the whole people of
Louisiana than either of his OPP
ponents. He is a young. Wig
orous man. without a blemish on
his fair name; he has been tried,
but has never been found wanting
in any of the duties he owed to
his family. his country or his
Maker.

BLESSED COMMUNITIES.

Several of the cities of Louis
lana have been and are still in the
middle of worse than a bad FIX.
New Orleans has been afflicted
with a harmful longshoremen's
strike and several heavy embez-
elements. Monroe has had a
fierce discussion over municipal
ownership of public utilities.
Shreveport has emerged from a
police muddle only to become
entangled over a pure water sup
ply. Baton Rouge has recently
joined the procession with a
heavy bank defalcation by a

and usefulness. They will reap

The ovation given to the can
didacy of Hon. ]. Y. Sanders on
last Saturday. at franklin, the
home parish of Mr.. Sanders, was
one >of the most remarkable
meetings that perhaps has ever
been witnessed outside of the
city of New Orleans. on account
of the numbers, the character and
the enthusiasm of the participants.
The result of the meeting at
Franklin certainly refutes the
claims that Mr.. Sanders would
not carry his own pari. b. and
that the respectable ladies, re-
pudiated him. Had any one seen
the genuine enthusiasm of the
long line of ladies who took part
in the procession and have heard
their words of praise be could
readily understand how Unbound
ed these reports are. The demon
sfration there should set at rest
the slanderous inuendoes that
have been slyly and sneakingly
injected into this campaign con-
corning the private life of Mr..
Sanders.
The circulators of these vile
and unfounded statements smiled
to themselves and said "wait
until he goes before those who
know him best and you will see
that he is repudiated" The re-
suit was that his accusers were
absolutely repudiated by the
voters ofSt. Mary and Southwest
Louisiana. and by the fair wives
and daughters and mothers Of
that represent the culture
and refinement OF the country of |

THE CAMPAIGN.

Up to the present time it is Z
little remarkable how quiet ano
peaceful has been the political
campaign. There are few heated
discussions and no fierce out.
bursts of temper. The suffragans
calmly discuss their differences,
openly proclaim their preferences
and laughingly argue the merits
of the several candidates. Pre-
sumably this is attributable to the
primary method which gives to
each voter independence of action
entirely free from dictatien or
manipulation in forcing the choice
of a candidate upon his decision.
Left to his own devises, the voter
is able to scan the qualifications
of every candidate seeking his
vote. and they are intelligently
making their selections. Certain
is it that the chief qualifications
are centered in the selection of
clean. capable and honest men.
mentally and morally equipped
to fill the positions to which they
aspire. If there is not a change
for the better in the status>of the
men who are elected then it will
be no fault of the people. but
rather the inner wickedness of
men who are incapable of resist
ing great temptations.
The insane desire to grow rich
by dishonest methods has caused
the downfall of men known for
their probity before being brought
into touch with powerful induce
ments to. do wr. ng. When men
stake their regulations on brittle
foundations that may prove their
downfall. they will pause before
they tread upon such insecure
Louisiana is needing some |
potent reforms that have been
pledged to the people during
this campaign. The people will
require the successful candidates
to perform these pledges. and
woe betide the man who fails to
hew to the line and carry out his
promises. Thus far the campaign
has been prosecuted with a com
parative good will that is a rev.
.lation in Louisiana politics. Let
he same spirit continue to the

SOMETHING ABOUT CHAMBER.

THE istructed correspondents
at Washington have begun to talk
boom for Chanler in the South, -
and thereby hangs a tale.
Lieutenant Governor L. S.
Chanler, who presides over the
Senate of the New York legis-
lature, may be a millionaire and
man of affairs. yet this sudden
aspiration for the presidency may
conceal some hidden political
plan unknown to the average
Democratic voter. Whatever the
design of this sudden boom GER
tain is it that his active agents are
flooding the South with marked
copies of New York papers that
are boosting his candidacy.
Even an unpretentious citizen OF
Winfield has not been exempted
from copies OF these marked
documents sent direct from New
York city. just what may be
expected from this method of
campaigning deponent saith not.
Whether it is to sidetrack some
more prominent Democrat. or
confuse the councils of the party
has not yet developed. But that
a determined effort is being made
TO bring Mr.. Chanler into
prominency, there can be no
shadow of a doubt. His money
and methods of operating have
attracted the attention of journals,
North and South. and he has
achieved what may have been his T:
design. the exploiting his name
throughout the length and breadth :
Of the land.
1t is not contended that Mr..
Chamber may not be thoroughly
equipped for the distinction to
which he aspires as a prominent
New York Democrat, but why this
sudden exploiting of his namep
