Address TO Louisiana Democrats.

Robert Ewing, member Of the 9
Democratic National Committee :
for Louisiana, makes q stirring
appeal to Democratic voters as :
follows:
SIN the national election, when
takes place on Tuesday, NoYem-
Der 3rd, it is essential that the
vote in every Democratic COM
munity should be as large as the
activity and interested the Demo
cratic leaders can possibly make
it. In July last when | conferred
with Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln and
again since that time at Chicago,
he impressed me with the impor-
lance of having the South, the
backbone Of the Democracy, reg
lister it's normal vote in the NO
vember election. Mr.. Bryan was
particularly solicitous about THIS,
as he is anxious to secure not.
only majority Of the electoral
vote but a majority Of the popu-
lar vote throughout the country.
1t is easy to understand his mo-
tive in expressing this desire.
As President Mr.. Bryan is anX-
ious to be thoroughly supported
by public sentiment in carrying
out those governmental and eco
nomic reforms for which he has
been herOically contending.
A majority of the electoral
vote seems now practically as
sured to Mr.. Bryan. 1t only re-
mains to give him a majority OF
the popular vote, and to this end
| trust that every Democratic
leader and newspaper in the
State will do their full duty by
the party and it's nominees bJ
working assiduously to bring ou'
a full vote on November Bird
Louisiana should give Mr.. Bryan
amaiority Of between $4,000 ant
100000. 1t will undoubtedly d'
so if we all put our shoulders t.
the wheel and work together t.
bring out a full vote. The fac
that Republican opposition t.
Mr.. Bryan in Louisiana is NOR
shadow than substance is calcu
lated to make the voters inditfer
ent about casting their ballots
energetic steps are not taken t
arouse their interest and to in
press them with the necessity c
voting for Mr.. Bryan.
---SIff IIrGd not remind you Cha
a rousing majority for Bryan i
Louisiana will give the Democrj
cy of this State great prestig
and influence at Washington

ton, which now seems assure
Every party and political consi
