COMING PRIMARY

The coming white Democratic
primary will be held here on the
18th inst. The registered voters
will exceed all expectations. From
obtainable figures will number
about six thousand. This speaks
well for st. Landry, as it goes to
show that our citizens are aWak-
ened to the situation and are de-
termined, from the large number
of candidates, to have an opportu-
nifty to select from all of the aspi-
rants for the different Offices who
have opponents, and the voters,
under the circumstances, will be
given an opportunity to show
their favoritism. We hope, how
ever, that amongst our party
lines things will go on smoothly to
the end OF the primary campaign.

BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT.

Mr.. W. J. Bryan was in Alex
andria, louisiana, yesterday, and
made a speech, in the course Of
which he said:
Il never found it SO easy to de-
fend Democratic principles as now
yet never so embarrassing, for the
chances are sixteen to one that
President Roosevelt will come back
with a speech so much like it that
you can hardly tell them apart. I
never had SO hard.a time keeping
track of our Democratic platform.
Some resent it, but I do not. When
| see the President nibbling at our
platform, | feel like e%xclaiming,
"bite bigger, bite bigger No
Republican has SO thoroughly
enjoyed some of the things Presi-
dent Roosevelt mas said as I have.
He has helped me. It is crafty
ing to see ones ideas adopted.
Some of the things I said years
ago that were pronounced an
archistic, have become quite the
thing in polite society since Presi-
dent Roosevelt has said them.
The cartoons are much easier on
me. One of the illustrated week
lies cartooned the President and
myself as two birds in a tree. He
was on the nest, | was sitting on
the limb. He had feathered his
nest with all my feathers, and I
had only one feather left. I was
dreadfully bare, and I wondered
if he would take that one, and
sure enough his last message
served notice he would take it.
But / have other feathers left, and
a whole lot growing that brings
us up to a serious problem. If
one hen lays an egg, and another
sits on it and matches, which hen
is the mother of the chick? If a
Democratic party lays an egg and
a Republican administration
matches it out, whose offspring is
it,"
With Roosevelt out of the way,
Mr.. Bryan may be considered as
sure to be his successor. Roose-
welt is the only prominent Re-
publican who stands like Bryan
with the masses of the people.
and a great body of the population
that would have voted for him
will vote for Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan is as strongly OPP
by the conservative Demo-
Gratis as is Roosevelt by the con-
servative Republicans, but con-
servatism will have but little to do
with electing the next President
of the United States. Radicalism
will have the .say-so' in the
next election, and in any case the
victor would have been either
or Bryan. With the
out of the way, William
J. Bryan will be the man. Every
comedies that he will be the
Democratic nominee at Denver

was learned by Admiral sperry that
owing to the imperial regulations the
landing Of armed men in Australia
would be barred. Admiral Sperry
Immediately notified the government
that unless his men were permitted to

was reached on this point, however,
without difficulty, the commonwealth

American sailors and marines to carry
arms but no ammunition.
The attachments from the various
ships were headed by color bearers

Their marching was commented upon
with admiration, and they were
cheered on every hand. All the streets
along the route were profusely decor

From Farm Cove, where the land

line OF march, the crowds gave eni
thuslastic welcome. Large bodies Of
men from all the ships were brought
ashore in the morning In launches.
They numbered close to 5000. In sec
tons they marched to the outer do
main, which adjoins the botanical gar
dens and formed upon allotted spaces
fronting the reception pavilion. Then
came the admlrals and their stats,
who landed ashore on the east side
Of the cove, where a guard OF honor

nor did the American sailors ever wit

which met their eyes as the white

A hundred thousand people, the

It's JOHNSON AGAIN
MINNESOTA DEMOCRATIC CON.
vENTIoN sTAMPEpED TO
PRESENT GOVERNOR.
4 FRENZY or ENTHUSIASM
The Executive Nominated to Succeed
Himself After . Wild Demon
stratlon Lasting Over
An Hour.


| Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 2O.-Gov
John A. johnson was re-nominated 10
governor by the Democratic state con
vention Wednesday. Following th'
mention OF bis name by Mayor Lawlel
Of st. Paul, the convention stampeded
for johnson. A wild demonstration
ensued. Standards were waved and
the delegates headed by brass band
marched through the hall. A mes
senger was sent TO notify the governor
by telephone. The return Of the mes
senger was awaited with suspense, q
che governor previously had stated
empbatically that he would not run
again. The convention, however, per
sisted In ignoring the declaration. AS
an evidence OF the almost unanimity
Of feeling for Johnson, the hall was
conspicuously decorated with Johnson
portraits and during the excitement
these were torn down and waved by
both spectators and delegates.
The demonstration continued for "a
minutes. At the first mention OF Gov.
Johnson's name the delegates forgot
his repeatedly expressed objection TO
be considered and went into frenzy
Of enthusiasm. The aisles and the
stage were quickly filed with dele
gates, yelling like Indians, and execut-
ing war dances upon the press tables,
all the while repeating the name
johnson, Johnson" Ten minutes, 20
minutes, 80 minutes passed and there
was no lull In the tumultuous scene.
A huge photograph Of Gov Johnson
was seized from its place on the plat
form and borne aloft by delegate.
Meanwhile the band had struck up
Marching Thro' Georgia" and quickly
following in line with county banners
waving wildly procession was
formed which many times encircled
the hall. Banners were forced into
the hands Of ladies' among the spec
tators on the platform and they were
forced to join the yelling throng. But
only because there is a limit to exer-
ton Of lung and limb did the demon
stration gradually subside.
Owing to the unsettled condition Of
the minds Of the delegates at the
opening Of the convention regarding
the entire ticket it was decided that
committee to be composed Of one
member from each judicial district
make recommendation for the filling
Of all places on the ticket except that
Of governor.
The following recommendations
were made by this committee and
adopted by the convention:
Lieutenant Governor-Julius J.
Reiter Of Rochester.
Secretary Of State-Richard r.
