Blanchard regime, and you cannot vote
that way. Vote for Sanders.
Shreveport Times: Wilkerson' s friends
in this city are making promises to the
saloon men to get their votes, while out in
the country wards they are sending pro-
hibition leaders to plead with the prohibi-
tionists. Who has been trapped by this
scheme?
Mer Rouge Democrat: The campaign
commenced too soon. With the daily press
that is sending out what each candidate
is saying every day, it was not neces-
sary for any man to come out so soon. It
will throw shadow on primary elections.
1t is expensive campaigning. 1t is wrong.
1t has done harm.
New Orleans States: The Youngest
member of the House of Representatives
at Washington is Harry B. Wolf, of the
Third Maryland District, who is but q
years old. A few years ago he was selling
City, and has risen to his present place
solely on his own efforts.
Harrisonburg New Era: Ours reasons
for flying the banner for Jared Y. Sanders
are that in our opinion he is the best man,
that he has come up from the common
masses, that he is a man of brains and
judgment and therefore in close touch and
sympathy with the people, and that his
election to the Office of Governor would
rebound to the welfare and upbuilding of
the entire country.
Morehouse Clarion: Mr. Sanders is a
man of the people. He began life as a
pillow boy and later worked as a sawmill
hand. He has reached the high position
of Lieutenant Governor Of this great State
by reason of merit and qualities of heart
and mind which entitle him thereto. He is
a man who meets his brother on the level
and has warm place in his heart for the
humblest of them.
Baton Rouge State: In answer to the
SANDER that the women of St. Mary were
opposed to the candidacy of Jared San
ders, the women of Franklin organized a
J. Y. Sanders club of the ladies of st.
Mary, and this is what the club has to say
of Mr.. Sanders: ''We cheerfully commend
him to the good people of this State as an
honorable and high minded citizen and
brave and chivalrous gentleman. We
know him to be dutiful son, kind hus-
band, an exemplary father and an affec-
tionate BROTHER
st. Landry Clarion: The Clarion favors
the election of Jared Sanders for Governor
because it believes him the best fitted for
the position. 1t favors Jared Sanders be-
cause in all the political strife in this State,
in all Of the battles of Democracy when
the party citadel was threatened by the
Lottery Company, by Pharr and by Gallery,
Sanders stood like Saul of Tarus, de-
Tending if with might and ability, courage
and dash. He never faltered; his magnifi-
cent manhood and superb ability were al
ways at the service of his party, and the
party used them.
New Orleans Picayune: There is no
question that the shameful slandere so
maliciously poured out upon Mr.. Sanders
have had the effect of turning towards him
many who might not otherwise have offered
him their support. But decent people re-
sent the sort of enmity that occupies itself
with circulating scandalous statements
that are only general in terms and are not
backed up by proof, nor vouched for by
responsible parties. That sort Of thing
seems so outside of honorable political
methods that it arouses disgust in not few
who would otherwise not have troubled
themselves as to the merits of rival can
didates.
Ruston Leader: From prominent gen.
tlemen from different parishes of North
Louisiana we learn that Gov Sanders is
gaining adherents rapidly. One prominent
gentleman from Jonesboro told us and
another gentleman from Eros wrote us that
Sanders will carry Jackson Parish by a.
big majority. Bienville Parish is conceded
by everybody to be a Sanders stronghold
and will roll up big majority for him.
Union Parish, says another gentleman, will
go for Sanders by good vote. And, this
morning, gentleman from Monroe told us
that Sanders would carry that parish by
an overwhelming majority. We learn from
different parts Of this parish that Sanders
is gaining strength.
