Senior Creel is the actual governor

REFORM WITH A PRovIsO.

II will be remembered that Henriques,
the House manager for Mr.. Sanders
forces. declared that the demands of the
people for more reasonable charge
upon their purses by, and less num-
Der of. public servants, was a mere
passing spasm."
At that time the real meaning of the
expression was not defined.
II. was presumed Henriques meant the
people would tire of their effort fol
economic government and permit the
professional politician to riot in the pro
ceeds of exorbitant taxes wrung from
them.
This proves mistake.
It is, now divulged that the reforms
are to last only so long as this admins
tration, provided Sanders wins.
In other words, the fruits of the extra
session, so far as sheriffs' and other ex-
trayagant fees are concerned, will be
ashes to the peoples hopes when San
defs becomes Governor.
Webb, the special correspondent of the
New Orleans Item, tells his paper OF
that scheme, and it is fact that Mr.
Sanders has tried his laxative and per-
suasive powers on sheriffs whose fees
have been reduced and who are nomi-
nees without opposition.
And then why not true, this story?
Mr.. Sanders whole political life is a
piece Of the same cloth.
He is Of the worst type of politicians,
and his New Orleans political associates
reflect him and he them to an eminent
degree.
lifts the conduct of Mr.. Sanders and
Mr.. Sanders legislative friends from

s could not be stayed, then Mr.
lSanders would yield, use that as addi-
lonel political capital for his success
and when. Governor he and his would
proceed to return to the spoliation Of

All this in addition to what Sanders
