tn. Second Primary.

These candidates who will con-

second primary election fixed Ivy
the rules TO take place on Pebru-
AIRY 2dh, are preparing themselves
for the FRAY Some confusion has
resulted by reason of the fact that
it requires some time for the Sec
rotary of State tn complete the
result. and the unofficial reports
being very incomplete, 1T is diff
cult, in some cases, ter say who
will he IN the second race.
There have been some rumors
to the effect that in some in
stances at least candidates fuT
particsbar offices may settle the
question in So far az they are COR
cerned, by withdrawing froM the
race. If sUch slionld I've the case,
there would, we are sure, be no
particular objection on the part
of great majority of the people
for " IS quite certain that MANY
who participated actively m the
fret primary will not take the
trouble to vote IN the second one.
While all the offices that re-
main TO be contested for are i'm
portapt ones, yet it is fact that
the chief issues of the campaign
centered in the guberaatorial NOM
inees, and these having been de-
'termiDed the majority of the poo
pie are satisfied, regarding the
second primary as involving lit
tie more than the question of IN
dividual preferences as between
good men. 1t is important that
the pafty's nominee should be
backed mp in the administrative
|and Legislative positions by men
who are in sympathy with the
principals and policies upon which
he won the campaign; for to sur

There is no probability that even

PRMEl POST,

We give below a letter from
Congressman J E. Ransdef rela~
tive tu local parcel post on Rural
Free Delivery Routf 81 also a let
ter ie him from the Postmaster
General ON the same subject. MIR.
Ransdell desires free expression
of opinion from his constituents
on the subject of the parcel pest
system and toward shat end the
Gazette Will he glad to publish
com municaiions froM any who
may he INTERCEPTED in this matter.
In view of the fact that one rural
free delivery route is already in
operation in this parish, and 9TH
or routes in contemplation, the
question of parcel past also being
established may deserve more than
ordinary attention, and free dis
cussion il invited.

DEAR SIR>:-Enclosed find q copy Of
II etter from Hon. Geo. Won j.. Meyer,
the Postmaster-General, in regard to
a. local Iarcel post on Rural Free De-
livery routes. He seems to think the
proposed legislation is of great import
anee, and having asked my opinion in
regard to it, rcld him that I would
prefer to get the views Of my constit-
uents before replying.
Under the present law. parcels weigh
ing not over 4 four pounds may be sent
any where through the mails Mt l6 cents
per pound, and there Is TO special pro-
vision for pascels on r. F. d. routes
The law now suggested by Postmaster
General is to allow the sending of par
cells by mail weighing not over IL
pounds at The rate of IL cents per
pound to my Office In the country, and
for r F. u. routes at special rate on
such parcels as originate along the line
of the route or at either terminal, which
is very much cheaper and is fully ex-
planned In the accompanying letter.
You will see by calculation that par
eel of ii pounds couM be sent by mail
from Chicago to- st. Joseph, for iii-
stance. for Sl.32y whereas. a patron re-
siding on route, or at either terminal,
could purchase an IL pound parcel
from a merchant and have it delivered
to him for % cents.
Iwould thank You te'publish my let
ter with the accompanying one, and
irvke a discussion Of the subject. as
wish to be guided In. this matter b.
the best thought Of my constituents.
Very sincerely yours,
JOS. L. RANSDELI..

Not since the cowardly midnight
assassination of Krng Alexander
and Queen Draga Of Servia III
1903 has the world been so rude
ly shocked as by the news of the
brutal muder of the King of Por-
l'tugai and His eldest son. the
Crown Prince. in tina streets of
Lisbon Saturday That the as
sassirs laid their plans carefully
is made fully apparent by the
measure of success which reward
/ ed the murderous assault. That
it WIS not successful im every way
was bot mercy of Providence.
1t was.doubtless the intention of
the gangO assassins to. slay King
Charles ,pnd both of his sous aud
possibly Queen Pia rs well. The
latter escaped unhurt aud Prince
Manuel will probably recover from
the injuries, so that, unless the
people of Portugal rally to the
standard of the revolutionists,
thereby giving their sanction to
Saturdays bloody crime, nothing
twill have been gained by those
who executed it.
1t is not only true that "mur-
der will out" but it is likewise
true that such terrible crimes as
that which the people of Lisbon
were called upon to witre,s Sat-
urday mark an abrupt halt i'll the
onward march of the causes which
bring them about. They are mis-
taises-grave,- cowardly mistakes,
looking at them in any light We
may. And the proof is at hand.
Those who planned the taking off
of King Charles aud his two sons
were confident that the success of
the scheme woald fan popular un-
rest into a revolution that would
sweep the reigning family out of
power and make Portugal a repub-
nc. 1t is doubtful now if this will
be the result. Dispatches from the
stricken country indicate that the
people were overcome with the
horror of the affair. They might
have been ready to take King
Charles crown away, but only
few there were who had brought
themselves ~ the point ct being
prepared to- butcher their ruler
and his children in the streets in
order to gain their desire.
Whatever may have been the
provocation' for this last blow at
mcnarchIcal government, 10 last
ing good will. come of it. That
which resorts to bloody murder to-
accomplish its aim is evil. If one
ruler may be So ruthlesely set
aside merely to effect a change,
another will be sacrificed with less
scrople.- 1t is anarchy, and an
archy means rule Of fear and of
blood under whatever form of gov
eminent it exists
We talk grandiloeuently in this
twentieth century of our advanc-
ing ciwilizatIon, and then we come
to q stop to mediate. on such
crimes as these. Civilization is GO
ing forward at a rapid pace, but
there are lapses when murders like
the one of Saturday are commit
ted in the'name of humanity. The
ills which men suffer are not to

AFTERMATH OF THE
CAMPAIGN.


en- by an overwhelming majority
nst the standard-bearer OF the DEM
ocraiir party of Louisiana in the
Stats. campeign. Why?
Because he Is able, honest, true
10 his party aud his fellow-man;
amnn Of the people, coming from
she kof,ss of tire toiling masses;
al aggressive man-who has fought
the hattie of life against odds and
overcome obstacles in the strug-
gle for existence; an aggressive
man in politics, who in his young
manhood seized the standard of
his Party Msd hns borlse it aloft,
-untarnisbed-in the thick of
battle with party foes and up
held it agnirst the covert attacks
Of "oushwhsckers" parading un-
der the name of Democrats.
Because that unterrified Democ-
racy which under the lead of the
lamehted Wiltz ia the South, and
of the peerless McEnery in the
North, rescued the State from
negro'ahd Republican rude thirty
years ago, saw in this yeung man
the image Of the chosen leaders of
the past and recognized in him a
worthy successor to those patriots
whose Intellect, fortitude and
cnurage saved Louisiana and made
it possible for the white man to
live in it.
Because the old-line, bullldoz-
ing "take-it-strasght" Democrats
Of Louisiana, looking back ut the
past, said about his opponent:
''hoscitmr a. soeiis,' or ip plain
English, "birds of II. fether flock
togesher," aud refused to flock
with a cnndidate whose chief cam
paigr speakers had only eight
yeass ago borne aloft the despised
banner of the Republican party,
and made the hastings ring with
denunciations Of the Democracy
Of Louisiana.
Bot now it is all over. If the

Sentence Of Twelve Months in the
Norfolk Jail and Additional Three
Months for Fine Today - Now

Unless Governor Swanson pardonS
r. Gu, Hall who was arrested IN
Newport News Wednesday afternoon.
he will have to spend fifteen months
in the Norfolk city Jail.
Mr.. Fay S. Collier. the attorney
for Hall. returned from Norfolk yes,
terday afternoon, where he attempt
ed to secure the release Of his client.
Jl:dge Hanckcl refused to consider
any proposition looking to the re-
leasc Of Hall and it is understood That
he will this morning pronounce sen
tence upon Hall. Hall was given
one year in the city Jail and required
to pay fine of $500. The fine will
be paid by serving three months IN
the Jail, which will be in addition
to the one year term.
Mr.. Collier said last night he will
go TO Mort Tx again this morning and
if the dccis.v., of Judge Hanckcl TO
sentence Hall is carried out nothing
can be done to prevent the order o!
the court from being executed. Mr..
Collier said he intended framing Il
petition asking Governor Swanson /"
pardon Hall and the petition will be
circulated in Norfolk and Hampton,
Mr.. Collier was accompanied to Nor
folk by Mr.. T. Hall Davis. a cousin
Of the prisoner. who is eXerting his
influence fer the release of his rela-
tive.
The arrest of Hall was the topic OF
conversation in Hampton yesterday.
He spent nearly two years here and
was a prominent figure on the streets.
Governor Swanson will be asked to
pardon Hall in as much as eleven
years have passed since ne was con-
victed of conspiracy in the Norfolk

believes thai v" r4., secure the sigma

In conversation with Mr.. Collier
yesterday. Judge Hanckcl. who pre-
sided at the trial OF Hall eleven years
ago, told the attorney that he would
oppose the pardon of Hall.
Mr.. Collier stated last night that
at present there seems to be no way
to save Hall from serving the fifteen
mCn:hs behind the prison bars unless
