Red River Democrat: The Good Gov
ernment League has succeeded IN
having over 10000 fraudulent names
stricken from the registration rolls
in the city Of New Orleans. This
means that the political ring of that
city has been deprived Of that many
votes. II means that there will be a
chance for a candidate from the
country in the coming primary. II
IT had not been for this splendid
work by the Good Government
League the ring In New Orleans
would have been able To have elected
their own ticket, 1t is the solemn
duty Of every citizen who stands for
political reforms and better govern
ment to rally 10 the support Of the
candidates Of the league. II DR.
Aswell succeeds in dividing the vote
in North Louisiana, Michel will be
benefited proportionately. We can
not afford TO split. The intolerable
political conditions in Louisiana
must be destroyed. II can be accom-
plished only by unity Of action, The
only hope OF restoring The State TO
the people lies in the election Of
Judge Hall.

For The Best Acre OF Corn.

We notice that in many sections
prizes are being offered for the best
yield Of corn per acre, and think
the idea ought to be adopted in st.
Mary's county. II is too late, per-
haps for this year. but it will keep
for another year. Judges Jos. Ii.
Key. William S. COppage and James
II Bailey would make admirable
judges for the contest and a prize Of
from $50 to 800 could be given the
St. Mary boy who raised the best
acre OF corn. The details OF the con-
test could be worked out by the con-
tributOrs to the prize fund and it
would certainly make our boys work
to win and be an Incentive to en-
courage farming We will give FIVE
dollars TO start such a prize fund
and are sorry that we are not able
to contribute more.
And prizes ought to be offered too
for the best acre yield OF hay pro-
duced by any St. Marys farmer
boy.
