This is 8 gtartling Statement.

This is a startling statement.
1t is a rather severe slam at
organization on the organiza-
ton Of labor for the advancement
of labor's interests.
That one man can do more in
eight years, than all the farmers
alliances combined can do in
twenty five years, does certainly
not recommend the organization
of farmers alliances.
Jest as waal go outen the busi-
ness and let Mr.. Puio run the
whole shebang, said farmer
near the railing, when Mr.. Pujo
made the quoted statement DUR
ing the course Of his address at
the courthouse in Opelousas last
Monday night.
Congressman Pujo was discus
sing the parcel free delivery mea-
sure, which allows the bringing
by mail Of matter weighing as
much as eleven pounds, at a
cheap rate. He was telling of
his opposition to the bill, because
he said it hurt local merchants
by outside houses being facilitate
ed to ship in goods in competi
ton to the local merchants. Mr..
Pujo was saying that although
the bill had never come up for
consideration before Congress,
he had replied to several resoIu-
tions Of farmers alliances in his
district asking for his support Of
the measure, that he could not
do so. Then it was when he said
s.I have done more for the farm
ing interests of this Congressional
District in my eight years en-
cumbency of the position of
Congressman, than all the farm
ers' alliances have done in
twenty five years.
The Pujo meeting, held at the
courthouse Monday night, was
numerically success. There
were about two hundred people
present. But that is all that can
be said in its favor that there
was a good audience present.
Otherwise it was an ice-water
bath for the Seventh District
Congressman.
Weak applause came from
about a dozen men-liberal count.
It was a Pujo meeting made up
of Bailey men.
This is not a partisan statement.
If the Pujo people will tell the
truth, they win tell you that the
truths told.
The genial Congressman re-
ceiyed respectful attention. He
made a splendid address, giving
a good account of his steward
ship in Congress. His address
was free from harsh words. Tt
was dignified and plain, and
made an impression on the audi
Ienee. AT no time did he refer to
Mr.. Bailey except in polished and
gentlemanly manner. He always
referred to Mr.. Bailey as s'My

MarksYilIe, La, Aug. 18.-Jim
Bailey took the joint debate be-
tween himself and Congressman
Pujo by storm last night. For
% minutes the st. Landrian
could not speak for the applause.
Fifteen hundred throats yelled
Bailey, Bailey
And his opponent, Congress
man Pujo, who had just spoken,
was present on the stand, crest
fallen, convinced per force that
Ayoyelles parish was overwhelm-
ingly against him. Ninety five
per cent of the crowd was with
Bailey.
Mr.. Pulo spoke first. He re-
ceiyed very little applause, but
was listened to with attention.
Mr.. Baileys first ovation was
when he arose to speak. Pande-
monium reigned. Men threw up
their hats, women waved their
handkerchlefs, wee ones shook
their little hands at the tall figure
who stood, Lincoln like, on the
platform, with hand uplifted,
asking for attention.
The second ovation came when
Mr.. Bailey, replying to Mr.. Pu-
JOS statement that the only
claim Mr.. Bailey had for Con-
.gressional honors was that he

PUJO MEETING COMPOS-
ED OF BAILEY PEOPLE
Seventh District Congressman Speaks to Icicles At
the Courthouse Last Monday
Night.
distinguished opnonent


Even when he spoke of charges
reported to have been made at
Rayne by Mr.. Bailey, in which
Mr.. Pujo was said TO Be using
money in the cause Of his elec.
ton, he did not lose his temper.
II regret that such rumors are
being circulated, and do not be-
lieve Mr.. Bailey is the author OF
them," /" said Mr.. Pujo, 81 believe
he has been misquoted. / am
using money only for my legiti-
mate expenses. Any statement
to the contrary is an unqualified
falsehood. =
Mr.. Puio admitted that, whe-
ther returned to Congress or not,
he would still draw q salary of
S7500 year as member of the
Monetary Commission. Mr.. Bal
ley made this statement at the
Crowley meeting
Mr.. Puio also admitted that
the law firm Of which he is a
member represent large corporate
interests. He said he did not see
any harm in this; that when It
came to a question Of voting FOR
the corporation wrong. and the
people right, he always voted
with the people. On the other
hand, if it became a question of
the corporation right, and the
people wrong, he would vote with
The corporation. The fact Of his
being a corporation lawyer did
not affect his vote at any time.
He spoke of his vote in the in-
terest and for the protection of
various industries, and asked if
Mr.. Bailey would not have done
the same thing.
Lawyer Leon &. Haas presided
over the meeting, and made a
neat Introductory talk. He said
he was against Mr.. Bailey chief
ly because he thought the Tall
Cycamore should have waited
until Paul Lambreinont came out
for Governor, and then gone in
and whipped him. He thought
Bailey had lost the opportunity
Of his life. He spoke of Mr..
Pujo's ability, and thought he
should be returned to Congress.
Hon. John N. Ogden was the
first speaker. He spoke in hie
usual eloquent manner. He had
seen Jim Bailey raised from boys
hood, and liked him, but did not
believe he should be elected to
replace q man like Mr.. Pujo. He
told of how long it took a man
to get on 'to the ropes" in Wash
ington, and what a mistake ii
would be to send a green man
there, instead Of the ripe man
represented In Mr.. PHio. He
spoke at length.
The audience was clearly q
Bailey audience, and dispelled
the expressed opinion of some
that Bailey had any serious op-
position in Opelousas.
# Mr.. Pujo polls seventy five
votes st this precinct, out of 500,
he viii be doing well.
This is the glarion's prediction
Mark if lit doesn't come true.

Musical Association furnishet
sweet music for the meeting.

20, yes, 4 will win, said Mr..
Bailey, on his return from his
Acadia trip Wednesday. II
am as confident as man can be
Eof winning over both Of my OPP
ponents in the first primary. A
prominent Pujo supporter has
conceded, talking to 8 friend Of
mine, that I would carry Grant,
Vernon, 81. Landry and Avoy-
Eelles, four out Of eight parishes.
He claims Acadia, which I know
/ will carry by a handsome ma

but / will carry it, / am informed
by knowing ones there. Gamer
on, although q small vote, will
be carried by me, r am told.
Calcasieu viii go for Pujo by q
small plurality, perhaps. This is
the situation, as I understand it,
and corroborated by friends in
the different parishes mentioned,
and in many instances admitted
by Mr.. Pujo's friends.
ssMr. Ogden stated in his ad
dress at the Opelousas meeting
Monday that the administration
was backing you. Mr.. Bailey, !"
was asked of the 'Tan Cyca-
more" from st. Landry.
s'If what Mr.. Ogden says about
the administration backing me is
true, It is not the fault of Mr..
Puio and his friends that the adj
ministration is backing me and
mot Mr.. Pujo. From an editorial
in the Jennings Herald, publish
ed in Mr.. Pujo's parish, / see
that it is charged that Mr.. Puio
went TO Baton Rouge and sought
administration support, and that
Governor Sanders told Mr.. Pujo
and his friends that the Con-
gressional fight in the Seventh
Congressional District was none
|of his business. But, il Cover
nor Sanders feels kindly towards
me in this contest, ais Mr.. Ogden
says he does, / must say that I
do not regret the fact, If il is a
fact. I am candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Con :
gress, and the endorsement Of a
State Democratic administration
would be indeed fIattering to me,
and deeply appreciated by me,
as I am certain it would have
been appreciated by Mr.. Pujo,
because, with the light before us,
he sought that endorsement. =

House Measure.

Washington. June t4.-The great
difficulty in the way Of statehood is
the radical differences between the
House and Senate bills. Il IS asserted
as practically certain that the Senate
will accept only the bill which orig
mated in that body. known as the
Beverage bill. There is also a prac-
teal certainty that the House viii
not accept the Senate bill. Represen-
tative Hamilton. the author of the
House bill. says unqualifiedly that. as
far as he is concerned. Il would not
The Hamilton bill passed the House
almost without opposition and il is
generally conceded that Mr.. Hamilton's
opinion in statehood matters would
carry much weight in that body. Mr..
Hamilton lately has had many con-
ferenccs with President Taft and he IS
convinced that President Taft prefers
the House bill.
IL Is understood the President would
like to see the House bill adopted by
the Senate with two materiari amend
ments. one OF these would amend the
Arizona constitution so as TO bar from
the rights OF citizenship those who are
unable to read and write The other
would give Congress the right OF aD-
Iproval Of the constitutions of the two
new states.
Il is thought Mr.. Hamilton would
agree TO these amendments and per
haps other minor ones.
