Thereupon Mr.. Van Torp pressed

he stood looking out. A steward came
at once.

Mr.. Van Torp went In again and

But instead Of going about his busi-

suddenly dashed past Van Torp in a

Van Torp's eyes were awful to see.
He had never been so angry In his

GOVERNOR PATTERSON OF
TENNESSEE.

The apologists and friends of Gov
ernor Patterson of Tennessee have as
stunned and are proclaiming that he viii
be reelected to the Office he has dis
credited by his pardon of Col. Duncan
Cooper, the murderer of Senator Car
mack
In this forecast is connected Mr..
Chain, who is one of the national lead
ers Of the prohibition movement and
who. as the candidate for president on
the Prohibition ticket, was defeated at
the last national election.
In reaching this conclusion Mr.. Chain
is influenced by the belief that the liquor
traffic will support Governor Patterson
who, BY manipulation, will secure the
nomination of the Democratic party.
Perish the thought But should he
become the, nominee Of the Democratic
party, it is safe to predict that whoever
may be his opponent, whether he be a
Republican or Socialist, will overwhelm
him in defeat.
To intimate a possibility of Governor
Patterson being the nominee OF the
Democracy, and that he viii secure this
distinction through manipulation and
the support of the liquor traffic and the
laWless classes is an affront to the good,
law-abiding, self-respecting citizens of
that State. and these will not fail to rise
in their might and rebuke this SANDER
on them and on their State.
The time is no more when men, being
bound by their party allegiance, must
support and vote for any man, some
times not as good as the "old yaller

JUDGE A. D. LAND
A Letter to the Voters of the Second
Supreme Court District.

I beg to inform you that I am can
didate to succeed myself in the office
Of Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of Louisiana, subject to the
action of the Democratic party. res,
pectfully solicit your vote and support.
AS many of you may not know me
personally, I deem it proper to submit
brief sketch of my life as citizen
and public servant
I was born in 1912 on a farm in
Holmes county, Miss. In 1S47 my fam
lily moved to Shreveport, La, which
has ever since been my home.
The first school I ever attended was
public school in Shreveport I was
educated partly at Centenary College,
Jackson, La, and finished my academ-
ic course at the University of Virginia.
In May, 1861, I received my diploma
from the law department of the Uni
versity of louisiana.
/ served in the Confederate Army
from June, 1861, to July, 1865; first
in Hays Seventh Louisiana Infantry
in Virginia, and then in Stark's
Twenty Mississippi Cavalry and
Harvey's Mississippi Scouts until dis
charged in 1864 on account of wounds
received in battle. After my discharge
I served the last year of the war as a
clerk in the Adjutant Generals office
at Shreveport, where / was paroled in
July, 1865.
I was admitted to the bar in Novem
Der, 1865, and after practicing law in
New Orleans about eighteen months,
settled down in Shreveport, where L
praetieed my profession for many years.
I have never been a politician, nor
have L ever sought political office. I
have, however, been consistent Dem
ocrat, and have always stood shoulder
to shoulder with the white people of
this State in their struggles against
political misrule and for good govern
ment.
In 1898, l was appointed by Gov.
Foster as a member of a committee on
Constitutional Amendments, and had the
honor of being elected chairman. The
of that committee on
suffrage and other questions were in
the main embodied in the Constitution
of 1898.
In 1894 7 was elected judge of the
District Court for the parish of Caddo,
and was twice reelected to the same
office without opposition.
In October, 1908, while serving my
third term as district judge, / was ap-
pointed by Gov. Heard, on the recon-
mendation of very large majority of
the lawyers of the State, to the Su-
preme, bench to fill the unexpired
term Of Justice N. C. Blanchard, re-
signed to run for Governor.
For more than six years have given
my undivided time and attention to the
discharge of the responsible duties of
my high office. This experience has
made me more fitefor the office than
I was when appointed in 1903. Ny
friends think I have made a good
record on the Supreme bench, and that
as the holder Of an unexpired term,
should be renominated in accordance
with the time-honored custom in such
cases. To the accusation that I am al
old man, I plead guilty, but submit
that because I have grown wrinkled
and gray in the public service is no
just reason why should be displaced

able to discharge the duties of the Of |
