TRAITS OF THE

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The next state campaign IN Lou
isiana promises TO be a most IN
teresting one. 1t also promises to
be the hardest fought battle since
the late lottery fight. AS two
United States senators are to be
elected and four candidates have
already announced their intention
of going before the people ask
ing for these offices. more than
the usual amount of interest at
taches to the final result.
There will likely be the same
two factions which have fought
out democratic primaries for
many years past-one the admin
istration and the other the so
called reformers. This year the
reform element will be known as
the Good Government League.
lhis organization, which includes
many splendid citizens as mem
bers, contends that the state is IN
the hands of politicians and that
the present government in LOUISE
ana is all wrong. 1t is particular
ly antagonistic to Governor San
ders, Branches Of this league are
being formed over the state and
dts promoters predict b victory
at the polls next January, it is
slated that the leagne will put ont
a full state ticket.
The administration so-called.
which includes much Of the old
line and regular democracy Of the
state, does not look upon the
Good Government League ser
iously. !. is making no great
claims of reform. nor is it look
ing for any great npheRval or
landslide in its favor. HowsvsF,
thcse who are interested say that
the res,,it of the coming election
will not be S.sterially changed
from that of years Past
No doubt there will be ~ ~
terestin4 battle of ballots. 1t is
to be hoped. however. that none

demcerats and that acrimony and
mudslingihg can very easily be dis
pepsed with. c, Times. 4
