No Democratic party in any
State can maintain itself long. in
the present freedom with which
ideas are exchanged among the
people, unless it proves itself
equal to it's responsibilities and
meets it's pledges. If there is
fraud in the Democratic party,
every honest Democrat who
loves his party will see that the
party itself should wipe out the
dishonor. The party court and
the party executioner is the
State Central Committee.
The present State Contra
Committee is not willing. Tha,

The present committee is no,
able. That is the fault of the
State law.
This law should be thrown
down and a genuine primary law
without holes and secret pas
sages, should be enacted.

TUESDAY MARCH II, 1908.
BAlLEY,S FIGHT FOR HONEST
ELECTIONS.

The Democratic State Central
Committee refused to investigate
Mr.. BaiIey's charges of fraud or
receive any proofs offered by
him. Accepting the face of the
returns, they named Senator
Lambremont the Democratic
nominee for lieutenant .governor,
while declaring against washing
the dirty linen. of the party in
public.
MI. Bailey has taken the mat
ter to the courts and asserts his
determination to pursue it to the
end.
In doing this he deserves and
should have the warm support
and commentator of every man
lin the State; for whatever per.
s0nal motive, if any. may actuate
Mr.. Bailey, nevertheless his
fight is a fight for honest elec-
tons.
Honest elections are absolute
" necessary for the preserva-
ton of the rights and liberties of
the people,. Not for one moment
should fraud be tolerated. but it
should be punished with prompt
ness. certainty and extreme
severity.
But it seems that under
present conditions crimes
against the ballot may be com
mitted with impunity. This
dangerous state of affairs must
be remedied, otherwise the free
mans right of franchise will be-
come, if it has not already. a
mockery and a thing to be Jug
gled with by the bosses to ex-
press their will and not the
peoples.
The sacredness of the ballot
is the only protection the people
have against tyranny and OPP
preston. and the purity OF the
ballot must be preserved if we
are to remain q free people.

The Central Committee And Tn,
Frauds.

Inc OF the
State Central Committee of Loui-
Siana to enter upon a free and
liberal hearing of the charges of
fraud which Mr.. James j. Bailey
makes against the city politicians
of New Orleans bears out fully
the prediction made in the Item
last Sunday morning. 1t was
vain, we think. to anticipate any
other result. Speeches made at
the committee meeting frankly
indicate. on the part of several
of the men who dominated or
helped to shape the proceedings,
an admission of fraud and cor
ruption as a regular, ordinary,
commonplace incident Of the
elections conducted in this State.
They accepted this condition and
seemed even to resent the sug-
sestion of interference with it.
No disposition whatever exist.
ed. then, on the part of the ma
jority of the State Central Com
mittee to investigate the frauds
of February 25, to fix the blame
and to sit in Judgment on the
guilty. 1t was idle to expect
positive action in view of this
state of feeling.
Had the Committee wished, on
the other hand, to take itself
seriously, nothing could come of
of it's activity under the present
law. A few more ingenious pro-
visions applying here add to the
sum of the little jests which
make the Louisiana primary one
of the prize hoaxes of Legislation.
The statute provides that the
com mittee must hear and dis
pose of such protests as Mr..
Bailey's in three days.
Anything of the sort, in view
of the complicated and extended
character of the evidence, is an
]imposibility that approaches the
degree of absurdity. If he car
ries his protest to court, as the
law allows. the court itself will
also be limited to a ridiculously
insufficient time for the consid.
GRAFTON of the case. The pri-
mary law. in this detail, in other
words. whatever it was intended
to do, acts inevitably as a bull
w&rk for the protection of any
sort of open-handed fraud or
thievery bv which the ballot may
be degraded and the suffrage
nullified in Louisiana.
The law itself should be the
first point Of attack.
The ground on which the Com
mittee avoids responsibility to
the people for it's stewardship of
the affairs of the Democratic
party, whatever it's technical
merits. is specious in common
sense and morals, and opposed
to the practice Of similar bodies
in other States. It was main
tanned, in a word. that the Legis-
lature never intended the State
Central Committee, in hearing
protests like this one. to go be-
yond the official returns them
selves, to hear testimony or evil
dence of fraud not apparent in
these returns themselves, and
that the courts RI the right
places of resort for party mem
bers with such grievances. With
out knowing and without caring
what the legislature meant, we
wish to record ourselves utterly
opposed to any such doctrine.
1t is destructive of clean parti-
sanship in politics. and would
degrade to the mere
tallyers the responsible mana
gers to whom the people dele,
gate their party affairs, while it
would relieve them of the re
sponsibility which rightly rests
upon them.
