ALLEGED ILLEGAL MANIPULATION OF
THE SUGAR MARKET.

It was with much surprise that many
planters and other citizens of this parish
read in the New Orleans daily papers of
Monday last that meeting of sugar
planters representing Iberville. Ascension,
Pointe Coupee. Assumption. Lafourche.
ST. James and St. John parishes had been
held at the DonaIdsonviIle courthouse the
day before for the purpose of taking steps
to investigate and prosecute alleged lille
gal and injurious combinations affecting
the agricultural interests of Louisiana.
and particularly the marketing of sugar
and molasseS.
So far as the published proceedings
show, no Ascension planter attended the
meeting. and inquiry fails to discover the
identity of any such planter who had an
invitation to be present or notice that the
meeting was to take place.
The authorized report of the gathering,
including the resolutions adopted. appears
elsewhere in this paper and embraces all
the information yet available with refer
1nce to the objects and character of the
movement. With such meagre material
an intelligent discussion of the subject is
impossible and must be delayed for fur
ther developments. 1t is generally un-
derstood. however, that the leaders of
this demonstration believe the New Or
leans market is wrongfulIy and unlawfully
manipulated to the detriment of sugar
and molasses producers. just as many rice
planters have charged is done with refer
ence to the handling of their crops. and if
this belief is well founded and the abuses
can be exposed and corrected. every
planter and every good citizen of the
state should aid and applaud the reform
alton
A second meeting of planters is to be
held at the DonaIdsonville courthouse on
Sunday. Nov. 20. TO receive the report of
the committee appointed at the gather
ing Of the 9Th inst. and all the sugar
planters of the state are invited to be
present It is expected that the coming
conference will be largely attended and
the proceedings promise to be interesting
and important.

Everything is all "bailed up"
The forms are in mess,
And now the old mans asking

Prohibition Resolutions.

We, the Prohibition Party of
Randall County, in conference
assembled May 28th, 1910, ex-
press gratitude to Almighty God
for the strong sentiment in our
state against the liquor traffic;
/ for the clamorous demand for
cleaner and more efficient govern
ment both State and municipal;
and for the condemnation by the
great masses of our citizenship
of those official acts which en-
courage, ignore or tolerate the
violation of law, all of which in
dictate the speedy and permanent
overthrow of the liquor traffic
and all of it's evil progeny.
1st. We demand an amend
ment to the federal constitution,
prohibiting the manufacture,
sale or importation of intoxicat-
ing liquors for beverage pur.
poses in the United States and
it's territories
End. We demand the repeal
Of the internal revenue tax on
Intoxicating liquors
3rd. We favor a graded in.
come tax to provide for any de
ficiency that may result from
the elimination Of the liquor
revenue
4th. We favor a law basing
the franchise on intelligence in
stead of sex.
9Th. We recommend an inter
state commerce law, prohibiting
any person, company or corpora
ton from transporting or deliver
ing Intoxicating liquors into any
state, or section of any state
where the sale of such liquor is
forbidden by the vote of the
people and providing an official
record, showing the states and
sections of states in which such
sales are prohibited, for the
benefit of all persons, companies
and corporations interested or
engaged in interstate commerce
or transportation.
The committee on resolutions
would report the accompanying
resolutions and recommend their

A. BASCOM THOMAS SPEAKS HERE
Makes Scathing Armament Of Senators Who
Expelled Him from Senate,

Senator II. Bascom Thomas
spoke in the district court room
on Thursday night to large and
appreciative audience, a number
Of ladies' being present. The
speaker was introduced by Judge
! ]. Q. Hunt who was also preSid-
ing chairman of the meeting,
and for more than two hours
Senator Thomas hurled inyec-
tives against the men who ex-
PEELED him from the Texas sen
ate at Austin
Mr.. Thomas did not use any
gloves whatever in handling the
words which he threw at those
senator's who had caused him to
be expelled from the State sen
ate.
AS he warmed up to his sub
ject, he hurled more inveCtives,
until the volume Of words which
he threw at their solar pleXus
with such telling force until
final knock out blow was infic
ted, backing up every assertion
with proof. He then gave brief
account of his attack against the
lobbyists and gamblers in the
senate, the proceedings and trial
by that body, his ignominlOus
followed soon after
by his triumphal re election, re-
turn and reception by the people
of Austin
Mention was made Of the ar
rest while in Austin of district
Judge, county judge, two district
attorneys and district clerk,
who were working to defeat the
anti.fee bill of which Mr.. Thomas
was one of the authors.
Mention was also made that,
at his first investigation, he was
by all but one senator
and this one senator arose and |
declared that his charges were |
false and. that he, for one, would |
vote to expell Senator Thomas if |
everyone did vote for dismissal. |
He remarked that this same sen
ator was arrested Oh that same
nightat a hotel for playing poker.
Among other proofs of Mr..
Thomas assertions, he had in his
possession several letters certi
flying that a man in Bell County
had bribed a certain senator to
use his influence in passing a
bill for the einstatement of cot
ton exchange in Texas. He made
the statement that he believed
that a lobby could DE formed to
make or prevent any measure
that came inLo the senate.
Mention was made by Mr..
Thomas as to the railroad inter
