Political Gossip from Baton Rouge-ls
the Man from St. Mary in Danger?

In telegram from Baton Rouge
dated January 80 it is stated that Gov
ernor Sanders was forty years old yes
terday. just one year ago he. together
with hundred thousand or so other
Louisianians were busy scanning the
election returns after the State primary
Of January 28, 1903.
The, anniversary of the primary, the
first ever held in Louisiana under State
law and State supervision. seems to
have passed without comment, but it is
certain OF more than passing signi6-
canoe.
The next great primary in Louisiana
will doubtless center about the seat in
the United States Senate held by Sen
ator Murphy J. Foster of St. Mary.
Already in the country parishes pros
oective combinations and states are dis
cussed for this great battle.
There has never been a shrewder han
dler of men in Louisiana than Murphy
J. Foster. There has never been bet
ter campaigner in Louisiana than Jared
Y. Sanders. There have been few men
in Louisiana with a proven highe,' plane
of public service than Joseph L. Rams
dell. From among the members of t:.f
bar in Louisiana it would be har Ter te
select a man to-compare i'll sheer men
tality with Joseph ]. Herman.
Sanders is the youngest Of these men
Foster is the Oldest
Sanders is Governor: Foster is Unit
ed States Senator: Ransdell is in th'
House of Representatives Herman is ;
private citizen.
That Senator Foster will seek to sue
ceed himself goes without saying i,
Louisiana politics That the warn
friends and admirers of Governor San
ders, of Congressman Ransdell and o
Judge Herman will seek to persuad
them to enter the lists is among tn
practical certainties.
