THE STATE PRESS.
Mansfield Journal: Certain politicians
manage to be always in the limelight.
Mansfield Journal: The Legislature is
now doing, or attempting to do, what Gen.
Jastremski four years ago urged should be
done, and had he been elected the work
would have been done directly after his
Inauguration.
Crowley Signal: Just as We are about
to crawl out from under the bed, erthe
impression that there is a momentary lull
in the political roughhouse, here comes
news of another threatened election, this
time on the liquor question.
Vernon News: The Police Jury at its
session this week voted unanimously for
an ordinance authorizing the holding of a
parish prohibition election in Vernon Par

which the News hopes to see whisky for.
ever voted out of our parish, and the News
believes it will be by decisive majority.
Shreveport Times: Because the General
Assembly is showing disposition to do
it's own thinking, because it places its own
interpretations on the wants of the people
and provides for carrying out the public
will in its own way rather than according
to the behests of certain politicians, it
calls forth vail from those who have
schemed and plotted in vain.
Shreveport Times: A display of tenn

Affections of the human character bring
only sorrow. And most men can cultivate
sunny, cheerful and obliging dispositions
if they but try. Harsh words and cutting
language are the result of indulgence of
the worst side of the character. We all
need to learn the truth of the injunction,

Mer Rouge Democrat: We have always
believed that the man who seeks to win
votes by discrediting the acts of his
opponent as rule oftener loses votes for
himself and alienates his friends and sup

opponent. A candidate who will attend to
his own business and public record while
before the people will poll more votes on
the day that the votes are counted than the
man who is making history for his oppo-
nent.
! Claiborne Guardian-Journal: The pri-
vate quarrels of the Governor and the
Lieutenant Governor and of the Lieutenant
Governor and other politicians are matters
of no public interest. But these quarrels are
disgusting a number of our good citizens
with politics, and they are becoming less
and less inclined to take any active part in
such game. In the meantime, General
Jastremski is going quietly along conduct
ing dignified, high-toned campaign, and
is reaping the benefit of the quarrels and
wrangles of the other candidates.
Mansfield Journal: The Journal takes
no stock in the assaults that are made upon
Lieutenant Governor Sanders private
character. We don't believe the charges
are true. If they were, the friends of Mr.
Sanders would not permit him to be can
didate, to say nothing of the loyal support
they are giving him, and he would not
have the christian men and women behind
his candidacy that he has. A charge
against public man that can't be aired
in the public press ought not to be referred
to in the press. Let it be discussed in the
slums. We are not opposing Mr.. Sanders
election for moral reasons, because we be-
lieve he is as good as his detractors.
