HON. John D. WILKINSON.

Among the candidates mentioned for
the United States senatorship is Hon.
John D. Wilkinson of Caddo. 1t may
be said that Mr.. Wilkinson has not been
seeking this office, and it was only when
being called to Baton Rouge on business
a few days that he was urged by
his friends to list as a candidate against
Judge Thornton
South Louisiana has now one senator
to take care of the sugar and the rice
interests. Judge Thornton having de-
clared for the protection of sugar and
rice, if elected would give South Louis
lana two representatives of their inter
ests in the United States Senate. In a
spirit of fairness North Louisiana is en-
titled to and should have an active rep
resentative in the Senate who would
stand for the most vital principles of the
Democracy, a man who. would be the
agent of the people instead of special in
lterests.
On Monday night Mr.. Wilkinson, with
others-Congressman Robert Broussarc
Congressman Arsene P. Pujo, Judgt
| Thornton and others have been invited
to address the General Assembly.
Ex-Governor Blanchard has been in
vited but has declined.
AS this gathering each candidate, we
may mention Hon. L. E. Thomas ot
Caddo, will be called to define his views
of what is Democracy. As to Mr.
Thomas, his enunciations are clear ant
we'll understood by his friends.
1t is already forecasted that genera
interest will be centered on what Mr.
Wilkinson will say, but the assertion Is
ventured that whatever he may say Of
Democracy will be we'll said and in full
eonsonance with the party 1t is certain
that he will offer no explanation OF
apology for being a Democrat. He be
1ieves in free government controlled b.
the people for the good of all the people
irrespective of classes or conditions. L
