The Fight of the Louisiana
Republicans.
New Orleans Item, Dec. IS,

New Orleans Item, Dec. 49,
The Democratic party's chances OF
winning the next national election
have been greatly enhanced by the
formal retirement OF Mr.. Roosevelt
from any third term ambitions.
We have always felt that the presi-
dent had a technical and practical
right to run again, and we are conf
dent that his nomination this year
would be the practical equivalent OF
an election.
The support which Mr.. Roosevelt
could command in the south would be
! very great His personality has
drawn to him and.hfs party the active
interest of very fne body OF men
ia such states as Louisiana. 1t has
proved an inspiration to the clean,
aggressive, militant section of the Re-
publican party in the south. A num-
Der Of Republican leaders can be now
named IN Louisiana who are the peers
ia public ideals, in personality, in
personal and social standing, of any
leaders the Democracy can boast.
In this connection the work of Mr..
Pharr, the Repu blican candidate for
the governorship, may be mentioned.
That gentleman rarely speaks but to
add to the sum total OF political knowl-
edge Of the people of the state.
He is selling vital issues, showing the
weakness Of his opponents, making
reforms which should be Democratic
his own. In fact, the Lily White Re
pubicans of Louisiana are for the
first time in the history of the south
promising to make - fight which will
command the attenl a and respect Of
all classes of south#rn citizenship.
Mr.. Roosevelt has blaz4d the way
for a split in the solid south. He has
given to the younger generation OF
southern Republicans the courage, the
example, the standing, which will en-.
able them to make fight.
And it will be a good thing for this
south II a strong opposition party is
buil5 up. The Democrats have had
0ower so long that they have grown
accustomed to not accounting for their
stewardship.
Mr.. Roosevelt, we believe, means
every word he says about not running
for the presidency another year. L
be dominates the man he desires, he
will probably give him active support
/ Otherwise, the federal Office holders,
north aud south, who form the nucleus
OF the party in power, wild have a hare
fight to hold their positions. At any
rate, the prospect is that the RepGbli.
cans Of Louisiana are laying the foun
/ dations for a battle royal for the con
troll of Louisiana in the presidential
year by going aggressivelys on record
| this year for the right things on al
! local issues: besides being in a posi-
ton with good men to take advantage
of Dissatisfaction IN the Democratic
| primary IN January and among Louis
lana Democrats next summer when {
nominee is made who IS not to the Xix
ing Of a considerable element of the
party.

Frenzied Finance in New Orleans


New Orleans seems to have had her
quota of frenzied tinanciers. The recent
suicide of Gus. lehman, Sr., the WE'LL
known wholesale dry goods merchant,
is known to have been superinduced by
financial losses, and within the past
week William Adler and Moses
Schwartz, prominent in business and
banking circles, have fed from the
city to escape the consequences of I'M
fortunate investments and speculatious
involving several hundreds OF thous-
ands of dollars. MIR. Adler was pres,
ident of the State National Bank, and
while that institution will be able to
pay of its depositors and stockhold-
ers, the loss of prestige which it must
sustain by reason of the pecadilloes of
its president will probably render H.
quotation more desirable than an eff
tort 10 continue business. Rumors
are being circulated to the effect that
several Other big New Orleans firms
are on the verge of collapse, but it is
hoped these disquieting reports will
prove nnfounded. Messrs. Adler and
Schwartz are believed to have gone to
Spanish Honduras on a vessel OF
which Mr.. Schwartz was principal
owner

let this record straight. !,
From Jastremski TO Pharr.

Chairman Atchison of the Jastrem-
ski campaign committee makes the
statement that the death CT their can
dIdate terminates the existence OF the
organization, and that as soon as the
fnaacial affairs are settled the
com nittee will disband without at
tempting to commit the Jastremski
followers to any particular candid ate
or lice of political action. MIR. At
Gibson adds that such an effort would
be manifestly indicate and improper,
ana that he considers 18th at those who
constituted the committee are abso-
lutely free to choose for themselves SIS
between the two remaining candidates
for governor.
That's all right as far as it goes,
but it doesn't go far enough by one
candidate. The Jastremski commit
teemen aud Jastremski voters gener
ally should feel as free to support Mr..
Pharr as either Mr.. Wilkinson or Mr..
Sanders il they regard the Republican,
candidate the next best man ID the
feld-@hieh he is. We speak by the
card when we say that some of the
Jastremskt followers were going into
the Democratic primary only because
of personal obligation to and admir-
alton Of their candidate, and that
these now consider themselves at lib
erty to keep away from the primary
and to vote for the clean and able
young Republican nominee for COVER
nor-and that is just what they pro.
pose to do.
If some can take this sensible and
lustitiable course, there is no good
reason why all the rest cannot do
likewise. Nothing stands in the way
but blind devotion to mere party
name that has lost much of its signifi
cance in this campaign and SO far as
the present interests and welfare of the
state of Louisiana are concerned.
