The building of the new Grand

Grand Isle may mean the open
ing up of a hitherto undeveloped
territory to cultivation. It is
said on good authority that with
the outlet of a railroad this land
could be reclaimed and put on the
market at a fair price for it is cap
able of raising not only sugar cane
but excellently adapted to the
productin of early truck.
If this plan is followed out it
will be but one step forward in the
line of progress which Louisiana
is soon to begin. There are many
hundreds Of acres in the southern
part of the state just as well adapt
ed to cultivation as those referred
to and it needs but the success of
one enterprise to start others.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, ss they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional reme- dies. Deafness Is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when il is entirely closed, Deafness is the re- suit, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catafrh, which is noth- ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

an instance of what may happen II
Japanese immigration is not restricted.
Here thousands of little brown men

gaining possession.

macy? The Democracy has served no
tice that oriental immigration must

it will come"
In concluding he discussed how sem
timent had changed toward Mr. Bryan.

have lived down their fears" said he.

votes was almost as great as the in
crease in Republican votes.
This question should be settled now;
we cannot afford to bequeath II as
legacy of woe to a succeeding genera
ton. The conscience of the people is
already awakened, and the conscience
is the most potent force of which man
has knowledge. Where law makes one
righteous, conscience controls an hun
dred; where one is kept from wrong
doing by fear of prison doors, thou
sand are restrained by those Invisible
walls which conscience rears about us
barriers which are STRONGER than walls
of granite 1t is upon the conscience
that human institutions rest, and with
out a stirring of the conscience no great
reform is possible. To a national con-
science already aroused we appeal, with
the pledge that a Democratic victory
will mean the ringing out of Industrial
despotism and the ringing in Of new
era in which business will be built upon
it's merits and in which men Will sue
coed, not in proportion to the coercion
they may be able to practice, but in
proportion to their industry, their abil-
ity and their fidelity.
At the close of Mr.. Bryan's speech
the official party was driven to the
Country club, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Kern entertained the visiting speakers
and members of the national and no
tification committees at dinner.

call Mr.. Taft's attention to the fact
that the Republican party has stimu-

ways: First, by the Endorsement that
it has given to the theory that trusts

of our modern economic conditions,
and, second, by permitting the develop
ment of abuses which have been
charged against individualism. If he

Former Mayor James D. Phelan OF
San Francisco addressed the Demo-
cratic league yesterday at the West
minister hotel, devoting considerable
attention to Hearst's independence
league and japanese immigration.
Leading up to Hearst's disaffection'
Mr.. Phelan said:
1T is the duty of all Democrats to
throw the weight of their work and
influence on the side of Democracy
and by constant agitation to spread
the right doctrines. The Democracy
will be preserved, even though a third
party is interjected, whose only object
can be to perpetuate misrule
Scheme of the Enemy
"As a Democrat I deeply regret this
step, which is the scheme of the enemy,
through which the sun clearly shines
1.-THE third party can only injure
Democracy, which holds out so much
hope and promise of success this year.
Bryan has been our standard
bearer-how well he has borne the
standard we all know. He is not

1.-THE Iroquois club, which expelled
Hearst, has remained steadfast to the
faith 1t has been the rallying ground
for the party up north. IT has gone
down in defeat, but invariably comes
up Sl1tlluS.
1.-THE Iroquois expelled Hearst from
its ranks because he abandoned the
faith as exemplitied in the party
platform.
Hearst has done everything in his
power, moreover, to undermine the
strength of the party. What his
reasons are 1 know not, but 1 can't
think for moment that the thlro
party will succeed.
Hearst has discovered that tran
silent party such as he has created
cannot in the nature of things enlist
support from you and me.
Want Something Tangible
1--WE want something tangible. We
want to know the sincerity of the men
behind a movement.
1--WE want to know that a great or
ganization stands pledged to support
new doctrines.
This movement springs from no
where without any sincere or devoted
delegates and followers-merely the
personal representatives of the owner
of the Hearst newspapers.
'HThese men can't attain speed
enough to reach the goal. They car
embarrass those who are in the race
and perhaps serve the glorious purpose
of bringing defeat to our standards

L.-R. LEAGUE SHOWS
GREAT WORK DONE
REFORM ORGANIZATION HAS
HAD GREAT INFLUENCE
County Central Committee Will Renew
Efforts in 1910 to Crush South
ern Pacific Machine
Forces

The Los Angeles country central COM
mittee of the Lincoln-Roosevelt Repub-
lican league yesterday issued it's final
statement of the campaign reafirming
it's support of Taft and declaring what
its movement against the Southern Pa
cific's political bureau has accom-
plished.
The statement is as follows:
With the close of the Republican
county convention the work of the Lin
coln-Roosevelt Republican league came
to an end for this campaign.
AT the time of it's organization Re-
publicans were assured that the LIN
coln-Roesevelt Republican league was
an organization entirely within the Re-
publican party for the purpose of puri-
flying the party; that its objects were
to take the control of the Republican
party in California away from the
political bureau of the Southern Pacific
Railroad company; to influence the
nomination of good men by Republican
conventions and to secure the enact
ment of certain legislation which was
deemed essential to good government
and to the protection of the rights of
the people of this state.
Organization Justified
1.-THE contest has been waged. Fully
enough has been accomplished to have
JuSLlil6Q the Organization ana all the
efforts made in its behalf.
Now with the ending of the prima-
ries and conventions, and in compliance
with the line of policy laid out at the
time of the organization of the league,
it's activity as an organization ceases
and the management of the campaign
is left entirely in the hands of the Re-
publican county central committee, in
which body the league has secured rep
resentation.
1.-THE league does not oppose the cleo
ton of any Republican nominee.
1.-THE accomplishment of the league in
behalf Of good government and for the
establishment of correct principles and
cleaner practices within the party have
been so encouraging that the necessity
for renewed effort in the future is ap-
parent.
1.-THE work so auspiciously begun VIII
not be abandoned.
1.-THE organization remains intact and
will be so preserved, but will not be
called again into action until the ap-
proach of the primary election two
years hence furnishes the occasion for
another battle to re-establish true Re
publican principles.
ITO the $4,000 Republicans of Los
Angeles county who gave tine Lincoln
Roosevelt Republican league their loyal
support, and to the hundreds of unsel-
fish workers in the good cause, whom
it is impossible to thank individually,
the county central committee expresses
it's hearty appreciation.
Victories Enumerated
ut should hardly be necessary to
enumerate the victories that the league
has won in the first year OF its exist
enee, yet II may be well to recount them
for the benefit of those who may have
suffered some measure of discourage
nent because of incomplete success, or
because Of the abuse and misrepre-

ILLINOIS,.

Chicago, November 3.-That the
twenty-seven electoral votes of Hill
OILS will be for Taft, but that Deneen
will have a close race with Stevenson
for the governorship, is indicated by
reports received this morning from
over the state. Business is largely
suspended in this city today and all
the polling places are centers of large
crowds. Hotels, restaurants and cafes
are prepared for an unprecedented
demonstration tonight. Great interest
centers in the Danville congressional
district, where Speaker Cannon is
making a fight for his political life.
Early estimates from the scene of war
are that Cannon will be reelected, but
by greatly reduced majority.
