NO STRADDLE IN PROHI
CAMPAIGN IN STATE
Candidates Must Measure the
YardStiCk

Atlanta, August 31.-With this
UNIQUE invitation, BE game, colonel,
come on in; the waters fine" a local
wag has the following to say of the
gubernatorial situation:
If Hon. Joseph NJ. Brown wants tc
remove his loneliness in being the
only governor since the adoption )f
the constitution of 1877 who did not
serve twice, emitting the succession
of Judge Boynton ofNGriffn to Govern
or stephens, why then let the distin-
guished Cobbite get into the running.
Can't StraddIe No.
If his friends think he can run II
this race and straddle the local OPP
tion-prohibition fight, as he did in the
first race, then they will learn a few
things about the present temper CT
the people that they don't know now.
For Local Option.
Judge Russell knew that the only
chance he had for the governorship
was to come out squarely for local
option. He already believed that way,
but for a while doubted the political
wisdom of injecting it in the cam
paign.
The astute Judge put his ear to the
ground and he heard a rumbling, and
the judge was glad that Judge Mann
asked him the point-blank question
down at Lyons, so that he could de-
clare himself.
Hon. j. Pope Brown had his ear to
the ground too, and, being a ''prohi,
he decided that it would be better fot
him to join issues with the judge, and
he did.
Must Come Out.
run again he'll have to toe the mark
and declare himself one way or the
other. ThereIl be no blowing hot and
cold in this campaign. The issue is
square cut and the candidate that
tries to shy the issue will not get very
much more than a corporal's vote. Be
game, Colonel" Brown; come on in
the waters fine"
May be Issues, Not Men.
1t remains to be seen, however,
whether the wag is right on the ques-
ton of prohibition cutting great
figure in the coming campaign. The
position of the candidates may be
known, but the question may be rele-
gated for bigger issues.

ANOTHrP EAGLE STORY.

DR.. Aswell, one of our esteemed
candidates for governor, who is
fine speaker and an effective relator
of anecdotes, has been splicing MS
speeches in This campaign with a
funny eagle story that never falis 10
ssbring down the house" and turn
the laugh on his opponents.
But a new eagle story has been
injected into the campaign that pos
sesses the merit of being true. The
genial and oratorical doctor need not
be expected to tell it, however, for
it isn't bit funny from his point CT
view and it gives him rather than
the other fellows the merry hama.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles are
to hold a state convention at Baton
Rouge October 80, and the arrange
ment committee in charge OF the
preparations sought to add interest
to the event by inviting all three OF
the candidates for governor to at
tend and address the assembled PEG
pie. Instead of either accepting OF
declining the invitation On behalf OF
his principal, the chairman of the 10
cal Aswell club, to whom the mattel
had evidently been referred with au
thority to act, replied with the pc.
culiar proposition that DR.. AsWel
would only consent to appear II as
| sured that at least one OF the othel
gubernatorial candidates would at
tend and speak from the same plat
FORM
| AS this was condition which the
committee could not control and witt
| which it had nothing to do, very
proper reply was made to that effec7
and the chairman advised that MS
| action had eliminated his candidate
from participation in the speaking.
Another consequence of this incl
dent will probably be the elimination
of DR.. AsweIls eagle tale from hi
speeches, for the Baton Rouge b1rt
is apt to pluck all the feathers from
the other one.

What He Wore in Infancy.

A heap Of talk has been caused in
the Louisiana press by the remark
of Gubernatorial Candidate AsWell in
his Ruston speech that he wore
towels when he was a kid in that
town. Listen to these spiels, for in
stance:
Editor Randolph Of the Crowley
Signal, is about to join back to the
farm movement. Perhaps he will learn
what is lowels.-Monroe NeWs-Star.
Editor Randolph denies that his re-
cent trip to Montgomery was In
search of towels. He says that when
he failed to discover them in New
orleans he gave up the idea of look
ing further.-Lake Charles Times.
At last we are beginning to under
stand that, to paraphrase Sairy Camp,
there amt no such thing as towels.
Certainly none OF these bucolic edl'
tors know what they are. Yes, this is
challenge.-CroWley Signal.
Well, we'll, wat a set of PROOF

THE REAL VICTIM.

From what we can ascertain, Mr..
Michel was the victim ID one land
purchase. He bought and paid for
what was supposed to be "sea
marsn,'' when in reality it was a
solid body of water, from five to ten
feet deep, and covering many acres.
Monroe NeWs-Star.
The foregoing was published, we
believe, before the complete account
o this transaction was made public,
c.4.d if so, the esteemed conte-npo-
rary was not then in a position to
ascertain what has since become
matter of common knowledge, to-wjt:
that the alleged victim of this
so-called land purchase paid l2la
cents per acre for the tract and sold
it a few days later for 25 cents, thus
doubling his money ard putting IN
his own pocket nearly $4,000 that
might otherwise have gone into the
state treasury It is possible, OF
course, however improbable, that the
original purchaser uid iltl h4io" lne
precise character Of the tract he
bought just before the PRONUNCIATION
of a law doubling the price of the
property, but it can hardly be pre-.
sumed that the SPECTATORS vendees
were in a like state of ignorance
Tor they were largely interested in
rice culture in the vicinity of White
Lake ;snd had q very lively appreci
alton of the value for irrigation pur
poses of "a solid body of (fresh)
water, from five to ten feet deep
and covering many acres. )" From
| what we can ascertain the rea
victim in this transaction seems te
be the state Of Louisiana.
