Mr.. Dubuisson, always frank and
plain-spoken, spoke substantially
the above sentiments at a Bailey
Rally at Washington last Thursday
night.
Mr.. Dubuisson was emphatic in
these statements as he always is
and his address had marked effect On
his audience.
There was anupright, conscientious
honest corporation lawyer telling the
people that be was afraid that he
could not represent the interests Of
the people in a legislative body. and
at the same time do justice to his
corporate employer, ard that he
would never attempt to fiji these dual
positions, but on the contrary that if
he were ever elected to Legislative
body, he would resign his attorney
ship for corporation.
And Mr.. Dubuisson represents but
one corporation, the Southern Pacific
Railroad Co.
lie does no wrong by representing
this company. He is lawyer; law
is his profession, and the Southern
Pacific Company pays him SO much
for his legal knowledge. But Mr..
DubuissOn says he would be
afraid TO try to represent both
the people and the railroad as
q Legislator.
Mr. Pujo, it is asserted, and it has
never been contradicted, represents
corporations which pay his firm
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR.
And still he wants to represent the
people in q Legislative body before
which the railroad and express com
panies, ETC., come every session, either
to have enacted laws in their favor.
or defeating laws against their inter-
ests and in favor Of the people.
Mayor Hanley presided over the
Bailey meeting in Washington Thurs
day night. Other speakers were
District Attorney Garland, &. Austin
Fontenot, ESQ, and Mr. Jim Going,
the latter Of Washington.
Washington is expected to to roll
up q good majority against the man
who has been promising them to open
Bayou Courtableau, but who instead
of doing this used all available ap-
preparations for Caleasieu parish.

| The above is a stunning refutatior
of campaign falsehood spread

RIGHT IS-RIGHT.
PERFORMERS"


A meeting was held by number
of gentlemen on the tWentY-second
Of August and the gentlemen organH-
Led and issued an address to the de.
mocraey Of the state. The reader
who lives in Maine or at some dis
tant point might conclude that Lou
isiana was ruled by a ring without a
conscience and that Governor Sanders
is the chief sinner IN the formation
Of clique Of politicians whose busi-
ness it is to conduct the affairs of
the State SO that the greatest good
may accrue to the aforesaid CLIQUE.
Fortunately, however, the demo-
Gratis Of the State know Governor
Sanders as well as the self-righteous
ex-politicians, and knowing him and
his enemies, are in a position to pass
upon the merits of the former and
the demerits Of the latter.
Il may be that q political machine
has been formed with the governor
at the head of it. but If that is true
it is quite evident that the machine
is new one as evidenced BY the
mangled and disfgured remains Of
the many old machine men lying
along the route it has passed over.
Usually the most jealous reform
er, the man who is the most anxious
TO run the political machine, If there
is one in existence is the one-gallused
politician who has been left on the
outside, like T. Fl. Lewis and several
others Of the holier than thou crowd
lately in session in New Orleans.
Governor Sanders has committed
q grievous sin in not preparing al
soft berth for these discredited poll
ticians; men who held office for years
in the past and their record while in
Office Is not noted for any reform
work and besides, the only work done
by them that is nn record consists
in drawing the salaries. Il is a diff
cult matter to reconcile these ex-
office holders to the quiet and unre-
munerative vocation of private citi-
zens and they propose to keep in the
lime-light and since they have failed
TO remain as a part of the machine /
they hope to attract attention in the /
doubtful role of reformers.
When Mr.. Lewis ard his advocates
nave succeeded if they ever do, in
getting control Of the state and have
rubbed off the rust aud oiled up the
bid machine so that it will take
irst place, we will have another ma
chine in power. but since it has been
u the political scrap heap for some
,ime We doubt the claim that it will
'un as nicely as the one Of more re-
sent use.
But to be serious. If it is pos
'lble to consider these worn out poll
icians in a serious light, We want to
all their attention to the fact that
Governor Sanders has refused to
lccept the Office of United States
senator. His action in the matter
s beyond their scope Of understanding
md since they fail to understand The
road and patriotic stand taken by
he Governor they will no doubt
harge him with being actnated BY a
esire to play politics. They will
all to understand how it is possible
Or any one to refuse an Office. Their
