Tka Democratic Primary !.

The principal results of the Demo
cratic primary election held in Louisi-
ans last Tuesday, September |, may
be briefly summarized as follows:
Judge Oliver o. Provosty of Pointe
Coupee distanced both his competitors
in the contest for associate justice OF
the supreme court, but according to
the latest returns his vote falls little
short OF the absolute majority re-
CURED for nomination and second
primary may be necessary. The totals
as given by the New Orleans Times
Democrat OF today are as follows:
Provosty IL, 472, Phanor Breazeale 1924.
Paul A. Sompayrac 4763. If second
primary Is held, the name OF Mr.. Som
payrsc will be dropped and the contest
will be between Judge Provosty and
Mr.. Breazeale. AS there would seem
to be no reasonable doubt OF Judge
Provosty's success, it Is probable his
competitor will decline to enter the
lists for another trial Of strength.
In the sixth congressional district,
of which Ascension parish is part,
Robt. C. Wicklife of West Fe1iciana
polled the heaviest vote, leading Geo.
K. FaYrot of East Baton Rouge, pres
ent member of congress, by 942, and
V. M. LeFebvre of West Baton Rouge
by more than 5000. The Times Demo
Gratis tabulation OF the sixth district
vote is herewith reproduced:

Weather and Crop Notes.

The following interesting para.
graphs are quoted from this week "a
Ascension letter to the Louisiana
Planter:
1.-THE weather man is mixing sunshine
and showers in just about the right
proportions to suit the present needs
of our sugar planters, and under the
influence of these benign meteorolog-
zeal conditions the cane crop is max
ing rapid progress and growing more
promising day by day. Stalks with a
number OF exposed red joints may be
freely gathered in any field of plant
cane, and in this respect the present
crop is considerably more advanced
than was last seasons at the same
period of the year.
s'Advices from the lower Lafourche
valley are to the effect that corn and
peavines have suffered and been cur.
tailed to q material extent because OF
too much wet weather, but the cane
crops in that region are looking ex-
ceedingly fine and promise excellent
results.
Hon. Henry Mccall of Ascension
went over from New York to Atlantic
City with Hon. Frank B. Williams of
st. Mary last week, in Mr.. Williams
automobile, and will grsvitate between
those two cities until about the middle
OF the month, when he is due to return
to his post rs collector OF customs at
New Orleans. New Jersey has better
system of public roads and greater
mileage OF macadamized thoroughfares
than any other state In the Union, and
autoists can travel anywhere with their
machines without fear of being begged
in bad roads.
According to statistics furnished
by Local Weather Observer Park, the
maximum temperature registered in
sDonaldsonville during the month Of
August was 81 degrees on the 18th. and
the minimum 68 degrees on the 10th
and 18th. A total of 5. 96 inches of rain
fell on IL days, the greatest precipita.
ton In twenty-four hours being 81
inches on the End. There were % clear
days, partly cloudy and on which
the sun did not shine at all.
1.-The work OF harvesting the rice
crop is progressing satisfactorily, and
the planters have reason to be entirely
satisfied with the quality and yield OF
the cereal and the state OF the market.
The local mill is handling q large
proportion OF the rice grown in this
locality and has been operating at full
time for the past two weeks.
Cotton picking is being vigorously
prosecuted In the New River section
of the parish and q large number of
bales have been turned out by the
various gins 10 the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth wards. Owing to the pro.
longed wet spell and unfavorable
growing conditions the yield is not
what had been expected, 5 curtailment
in the crop OF at least . per cent hav.l
Ing been effected during the month Of
July rs result Of incessant rains and
asvastasinG winds. -

Chairman Hitchcock of the Republi-
can national committee is having lots
of worry over the troubles in his
party, according to the scare-heads
and cooked-up specials in Democratic
newspapers. The same medium OF

everything lovely in the Democratic
camp and q big Bryan and Kern wave

who recall the similar ebullitions and

And Thrice He slays the Slain.

The Democracy and its leaders have
two speciAlties for campaign purposes.
Oae Of these is to promise or demand the
impraetieable the other IL to promise
or demand thinGs already accomplished
by the Republican party. The Denver
platform presents obvious Instances OF
the former, and IL further exhibits q
striking instance of the latter. In re-
lstIOn to campaign contributions by oor-
pOrAtions, it makes the following dec
iarAtiOns
ave pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment Of q Law preventing any
corporation contributing to - campaign
fund.
ain order that this prsstioe shall be
stopped for all time We demand the pass
age Of statute punishiLg with imprison-
ment any ofiioer OF = corporation who
shall either contribute on behalf Of or
consent to the contribution by a co-po-
ration OF any money or thing OF value to
be used In furthering the election of q
President or Vice President OF the Unit
cd States or any member Of Congress
thereof"
So far ss this practice can be ended by
federal legislation, the Republican party
did all that is possible, nearly year and
q half before the Denver platform de
eiared that it ought to be done. An act
OF Congress, passed by q Republican
House and Senate, and approved by a
Republican President January s6. 1907.
ooutatns the following drastic provisions;
That 1t shall be unlawful for any na-
B11lE any corporation organ
4. k.uv n Ia NJ
Gresr, to make q money contribution in
connection with any election to any po
iitioal office. 1t shall also be unlaWfu
for any corporation whatever to make \
money contribution in connection with
any election as which Presidential A',d
Presidential electors or q Represen-
tative In Congress is to be voted for, or
any eieoti9n by any State legislature OF
United States Senator. Every ocrpo-
ration which shall make any contFibu-
ton In violation OF the foregoing provis-
Ions shall be subject 90 q hne not eX-
oeeding i've thousand dOlIars, and every
officer or director Of any corporation
who shall consent to any contribution
by the corporation in violation OF the
foregoing provisions shall upon cOnvic
don be punished by n tine Of not exceed
ing one thousand and Lot less than two
hundred and fifty dollars, or by iInpris-
onment for a term Of not more than one
year, or both such fine and imprisou-
Rnent, la the discretion OF the court"
Thus, while the practice complained
Of received q knockout blow at the
hands of Republicans, We have the Dem
oeratio pledge that 1t shall again be
done to death when the Bryan snicker
snee IL drawn aud the right arm Of the
Democratic chief is barred for its destruc

HYDRoPHoBIA has been eXtirpated in
England. The method is simple but
vigorous. The owners Of dogs are
compelled to keep them muzzled If they
are allowed TO run abroad. ur. il they
are taken out unmuEZled, the owner Is
obliged to keep them In leAsh. A quar-,
4ntine lie strictly enforced against the
importation OF dogs from other coun
tries until their exemption from disease
is thoroughly established. The thorough
enforcement Of these precautionary
measures for q few years past has made
rabies impossible In England. Both
men and dogs are safe in that country.
The apparent hardship OF the eTperi-
m-nt is fully justified by the resulting
good. Similar laws should be made
and enforced in this country.
