Discussion by Members.
Speaking to the report, Chairman
Parker explained some OF the Difficult
ties encountered heretofore, and point
ed how he believed 1t possible to end
the cancellation differences OF long
standing. Mr.. Leonard Paulson, Of
New York. said formal agreement,
he thought, could be arrived at by the
next meeting.
Captain Ellison A smyth, Of South
Carolina. urged the adoption OF the
report, with full power to the commit
tee to prosecute the work.
AS representative OF the agents, or
buyers Mr.. Ridley Watts, OF New York,
said his people wanted to back up the
contract one that would be fair and
broad and liberal to the buyer, as we'll

the Endorsement lof the association

THE PRIMARY.

Finally consigned to history is
the great primary election OF Jan.
uary 1908. St. Mary once more
furnishes the Democratic party
her standard bearer. The terrific
struggle with all of its bitterness,
yillification, and abuse is but a
memory now.
The history of Louisiana re-
cords no harder fought political
battle than the one just closed.
Enough has already been said
about the unfair, unholy methods
pursued by some of the victors
opponents. Let those response
bic for the lies spread broadcast
throughout the State make their
peace with their conscience and
their God. The BANNER has
nothing further to say upon the
subject.
Let thoughtless words and deeds
spoken and done in thoughtless
moments be forgotten. Let hate
and malice be cast aside. Let
our hearts be opened wide so that
the true Christian spirit eve-
knocking and begging for admit
lance may find its way in and
reign supreme. Let the past be
forgotten. The future is before
us.
All good, true democrats are
firm believers in the maintenance
Of the Democratic party, and in
the welfare of their State. Though
some are disappointed in the
choice Of standard bearer there
is common ground upon which
all can and will unite.
In Hon. j. Y. Sanders the DEM
ocratic party of Louisiana has q
leader of whom she may we'll
feel proud. Though still a
young man, he has been in the
public service many years. He
is without a single exception the
best posted man on public affairs
to be found in the State to-day.
The BANNER makes this assertion
without fear of contradiction.
Over his own signature he has
promised certain reforms to his
people. Those who know him
we'll, know his perfect honesty
would hold him true to his prom.
Use. Besides, he realizes he is on
trial, and, upon his four years
administration Of the affairs of his
State depends his fate for many
years to come.
The election Of Governor San
ders means the dawning of new
day in Louisiana. 1t means a
young mans government; i,
means that the common people
will have their say in court; il
means progress and prosperity
will be the order of the day. In.
stead of rounding out his ca
reer," this plain young man of the
people is still making his career.
Better times are ahead and We
must congratulate the Democrats
Of Louisiana upon having acted
so wisely in the selection of thei1
candidate.
Throughout the many months
of the bitter strife there has
been silent, though deeply in
) terested observer of all that has
transpired. A close reader Of the
daily papers, no remarks from
any source, whether laudatory or
not, have escaped the notice OF
that individual. Always hopeful
though at times nearly broken
hearted at the cruel attacks made
} upon her son, the truly noble
woman to whom Hon. j. Y. San.
} ders is indebted for his existence
has borne up remarkably vel
under the most trying circum-
stances imaginable. The BANNEE
most heartily congratulates he1
upon the election Of her son to the
highest Office within the gift of his
people.
