These are the patriotic {
words of GOV. Sanders, to d
friend recently.
They were made ID referring to .
petition of the Board Of Directors Of
the Panama Canal Exposition Com
pany. asking him to forego accept
ance Of his seat in the United States
Senate. and remain as Governor Of
the State on account Of his indispen-
sible usefulness as the head of the
great enterprise from which the en-
tire country is to receive benefits.
But Governor Sanders has other
reasons to refuse the Senatorship.
While he was elected fairly, and
according to the law Of the land. he
perhaps feels that he should throw
back into the teeth Of his critics the
charge. that he is afraid Of the voice
Iof the people; feels that, while fairly
| and lawfully elected to the Senator
ship, he should show his detractors
that he can be elected by the
| people.
He will resign the Senatorship, re-
tain the Governorship, and in 1912
run for Senator.
The New Orleans Pieayune, one Of
the staunchest aiiG most conserva-
tive Democratic papers in the South,
in speaking Of the Governors ru-
mored resignation, says editorially:
"a petition has been addressed BY
the members of the Board Of Di-
rectors Of the Panama Canal Expo
sition Company to Governor Sanders,
chief magistrate Of the State Of
Louisiana and senator-elect to the
Congress of the United States, ask
| ing him to forego acceptance of his
seat in the Senate and remain as
governor of the state until the ex-
position shall have its status fully
established and its organization
permanently completed.
Governor Sanders is such devoted
friend to the great enterprise and is
so capable Of rendering it the most
effective assistance in his position
as the states chief magistrate that
his separation from the organization
and prolonged absence in Washington
would work irreparable loss to the
enterprise.

ernor's entirely worthy ambition, as
well as on the beginning of the great
career that is opened to him to ask
him to surrender his seat in the SEN
ate at this time, but the Importance
of the exposition, and the necessity
for the continuance of his great ser
vices to the enterprise seem to Justify
the asking Of the sacrifice
There is every confidence that the
governor will act wisely and for the
best of the states interests in the
grand enterprise for which he has

GooD MEETING At TARNAuDyTr4I.E /


The Bailey meeting at La Oranges )
was in line with bis meetings ls-.
ported from other places, and d huge
success. A large crowd heard the
speakers, Mr.. Bailey, Hon. x. Andre
pont, Judge Pavy and DR.. g. w. Mar
tin. The people displayed their anx-
iety to hear Mr.. Bailey, by waiting
upwards Of an hour for the arrival Of
the gentleman from 0Delousas. who
with his party was somewhat DELAYED
on account Of the effect Of the heat
upon their team. which had to Be re-
placed by another at Leonville. Their
patienee was, however, amply repaid
by the stirring speeches. Dr.. Mar
tin made an able and eloquent appeal
to the voters to go to the polls on
the 9th of September to cast their
vote for st. Landry's candidate TOR
Congress, jim Bailey.
Mr.. Bailey needed no speaker To-
dispeI the impression sought to Be
created by Pujo spell-binders in the
minds Of those who's do not know Mr..
Bailey, that he has no ability. His
speech in itself demonstrated more
forcibly than a review Of his efforts
and experience in the General Assem-
bly, could have done, bis ability to sit
and not only sit, but represent the
people Of the 7th Congressional Dis
trict in the Halls of the National
Congress.

THE HORSE WON.
A Race With a Locomotive When Rail
roads Were New.


In 1872 the first charter was obtain
ell for n railroad in the United States.
IL was for line from Philadelphia TO
a point on the Susquehanna river but
was never built. ON the announce
ment OF the project some one asked
one OF the Baltimore newspapers.
what Is n railroad. anyhow The
editor was forced 10 reply that he did
not know. but that perhaps some 9th
err correspondent can tell.
Seven years later on the little WOOD
en- track along the Lackawnnna creek
the first locomotive had Its trial. The
experiment WAS far from successful.
and for number OF years afterward
the trains on most OF the railroads con-
tinued 20 be drawn by horses. The
FIRST locomotive ON the Baltimore and
Ohio had sails attached. So did the
cars. These sails were holsted when
the wind was IN the right direction 30
ms to help the locomotive.
The rivalry bstwecn the railroads
using locomotives aud those using
horses was very bitter. 10 August.
1890. an actual trial Of speed was held
between horse aud one Of the pioneer
locomotives which did not result Ia
favor of the locomotive. The race war

or. who also acted as engine driver.
The horse. n gallant gray. was in the
habit OF pulling car ON track paral'

race. but when be was a quarter OF a

TO THE VOTERS OF THE CITY:


Having announced as candidate
for alderman OF your city, desire to
herewith submit my views on what
] conceive TO be OF great Importance
TO our town; and on which ! ask for
your influence and vote.
am in favor Of an economical ad'
ministration of the city government.
Il is my hrm conviction that the city
tax rate Is too high and should be
reduced. Under the full rendition law
the assessment o; the city property
was increased about so per cent. yet
our tax rate remains unchanged. and
the people are burdened with add
tlonal taxes. What do We get for II?
am opposed to the purchase OF
the light and water plant by the city.
The said light and water company
should be forced 10 furnish an ade'
quate supply OF water for public and
rrivate use. at reasonable rates. as
per their contract. II they refuse TO
do this the city should cancel their
franchise at once. With an adequate
water supply the city can then install
a sewerage plant with the available
money now on hand. II this Is not
done I will be in favor OF the cancel
lation Of the $4,000 bonds recently
voted for that purpose.
II elected shall urge the council
TO take steps at once looking 10 the
sprinkling OF Main and cross streets at
the city's expense. do not believe
the merchants ought 10 be forced TO
bear this burden. In addition 10 the
sprinkling OF the streets being great
protection TO the goods OF the mer-
chants. II is also a sanitary measure.
The ladies OF the town can then drive
down the main thoroughfare OF our
city without having their eyes filled
with the dust. and inhaling the filth
and impurities OF same.
am opposed TO the council selling
any valuable property belonging to the
city without first submitting the ques.
ton 10 the qualified voters Of the town.
am in favor OF the city aiding in
every way possible the efficiency Of
the fire department No town has a
more loyal corps OF fremen than has
