CT UBS MUST STICK
TO THE SALARY LIMIT
None WIN Be Allowed to Spend
More Money Than Con-
stitution Provides.


Upon good authority the Telegram
has the information that the league
officials OF the Pennsylvania and
West Virginia baseball league will
put forth vigorous efforts 10 compel
the clubs Of the league to adhere TO
the provisions OF the league constitt-
tion in regard TO the salary limit. All
OF the clubs must hold to this agree
ment and II any are caught violating
It in the slightest degree the penal
ties, which are severe, viii be en-
forced to the letter.
Section OF Article OF the league
constitution reads as follows:
Salaries of the players Of any
club shall not at any time after May
20 exceed $1,000 per month, inclu-
siye Of manager. No club owner,
manager or agent shall make any. di-
rect or indirect agreement or ar
rangement for any player or any
compensation to such player other
than that stipulated in the contract.
In order to make such an agreement
effective with reference to salary linn
It, the president is required to pre-
pare afiidavits embracing in Its pro-
visions statement that the salary
limit does not exceed the amount
and number indicated above. Such
affldavits being sworn to before
notary public and filed with the pres
ident by the manager and president
OF each club in the league. For
any violation in this section of any
of its provisions the club so violat-
ing the same shall be fined one
hundred dollars for the first offense,
payable within ten days, and for the
second offense the forfeiture OF It's
franchise to the league"
Statements have been made by
Fairmont and Uniontown fans, It Is
said, that their teams would be made
winning teams II they had to spend
$4,000 extra in order to do It. 1t
is not known that this statement had
any foundation in fact, but 1t is un-
derstood that 1t has prompted league
officers to keep a sharp watch for any
suspicion OF violation Of the consti-
tutional rule quoted and II any Is
brought to light there will be stir
ring up of things, Fairmont and
Uniontown viii have to stick to their
agreement II they want to stay in
the league. Clarksburg intends to
stick to the rule no matter what the
other teams do and the Clarksburg
team is not held down to that on
account of lack Of money or sup
port. All local fans hope there is
no foundation for the story of the
salary limit provision being ignored
by Uniontown and Falrmont and that
those clubs will play fair in that re-
gard even II they do lose.

A Fraud Upon the People.

The primary election law. SO far
as assessments and limitation of
time for announcements, are in
volved, is a fraud upon popular
rights.
As the matter now stands, the
brief period of time allowed for
announcements, after the meetings
of the various committees and the
exorbitant entrance fees assessed
against the candidates, preclude
the man of limited means, although
he might be qualified in ever,
other respect, from any presenta
ton of his claims for Office to hi
fellow citizens.-La. Democrat.

Former Republican Working
For Mr.. PulO'S Nomination.
The Polk Campaign Committee Answers Judge
Dupre's Communication ravorine
Congressman Pujo.

The disposition on the part oi
corporations to employ III their
legal departments men who have
have been elected to high legisIa-
tive positions is within itself sig
nificant fact, and the truth of the
contention that they are not en-
ployed solely on account OF their
legal ability is amply proved by
study of the personel OF the
members of our present Congress,
and the fact that most of its MEM
bers are allied with the corporate
interests of the country in some
capacity and are also members OF
the party notoriously friendly with
what is commonly known as the
Interests"
This fact alone carries with it
indisputable conviction.
Again, in cullirg the record Of
Mr.. Pujo in Congress, Judge Dupre
exerts the force of his ability III
in showing the Cougressman's vote
on the anti-railroad meashrers.
He calls attention. to the Rate Bill
but neglsts to mention the fact
that that was in no sense detrimen-
tai to the railroads and did in fact
relieve them of an onerous burden
lin the matter of passes, but at the
same time permits the issuance of
passes to RAILROAD ATTOR-
/ NEYS.
4 It is not the desire nor intention
lof this committee to cast any slurs
upon Mr.. Pujo personally, or upon
! his ability as a lawyer, and did ne
} not attempt to represent corpor-
alton whose interests are inimical
to those of his constituents, the
ethical correctness of his position
could not be questioned. But the
Divine rubric: "No man can serve
> two masters" is not to be defeated
by any purely human and sophisti'
cal reason.
The public record of any man il
open to question when he offer'
himself as candidate, and it II

HEADQUARTERS OF
Polk CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
Alexandria, La.

Alexandria, La.
Editor Colfar Chronicle:
In it's issue Of last week the st.
Landry Clarion published an ar
ticle signed by Judge Gilbert L.
Dapre, of Opelousass in which he
takes the Polk Campaign Commit
tee to task for the publication OF
the article headed "Who does the
Congressman from this District
Represent, the People or the Stan
dard Oil Co.," and sets forth at
length his reason for supporting
Mr.. Pujo in his race for Congress.
Recently there appeared III the
Lake Charles American an inter-
view, originally published IN the
Beaumont Enterprise, with Major
s. Arthur Knapp, in which are set
forth practically the same reasons
why the people of the 7th Con-
gressional District should return
Mr.. Puio in the September pri-
maries.
That such identical doctrines
emanate from two such sources Is
not at all surprising, when the po-
litical records Of the gentlemen ID
question are considered we lind ON
the one hand Judge Gilbert L.
Dupree, formerly the Republican
candidate for Congress from this
district, and the opponent OF the
man whose cause he now SO fore
;blv advocates, and on the other
Major S. Arthur Knapp, long
: avowed Republican, an apPolntee
in the Bureau of Plant Industry
from Mr.. Pujo's own parish, and
probably upon his advice, or al
least, with his consent and appro-
baton.
Arguments from these sources
at once bring forth the question at
to whether the Democratic voters
of the district are to take theil
Democracy from the avowed enc
mics of their party, or are to vieS
the issue of the campaign them
selves or be guided by the exam
ple and reasoning of men who hav
ever chung to to the party OF tn
white people in times OF stress
and whose faith has never bee
open to question.
Again, Judge Dupre argues ths
it is eminently proper for an a
torney to represent corporate
ma his client. We neither deny nc
attempt to deny the correctness
this conclusion insofar as 1T appii'
to an attorney who is engaged sol
ly in private practice, and VINE
he flaunts q long list of prominel
attorneys whom he declares to
representatives of corporations b
fore the courts. he neglects to me
tiou the fact, either wilfully or b
