THE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN
Mr.. Lees Statement.

while I have been too busy
talking to the Democratic voters
Of the State to size up the situa-
ton accurately, I am gratified
with conditions as they appear
to exist. It seems manifest that
the people OF the Democratic
party are in sympathy with pro-
gressive measures As on nearly
all occasions when we have diff
fered as to public policy. Senator
German has opposed progressive
measures. I believe that the DEM
ocratic people are strongly dis
posed to give a practical mani
festation of their tendencies by
indorsing my candidacy.
'T have Just completed my
campaign in the western part
OF the State, and have met with
a most fiattering reception there.
II I do not carry this part Of
Maryland will be disappointed.
Moreover. most encouraging re-
ports have been received from
the Eastern Shore. where we
have naturally expected to make
only an Indifferent showing
against Mr.. German.
It am confident Of success
Tuesday, and the greatest optim-
ism prevails among my friends"

simply and merely because we
believe him when he said that he
is q boss. We accept this to be a
fact, as Mr.. Michel has admitted
1t. The Gazette prefers to sup
port a boss rather than a man
who bows to the dictates of a
boss. This charge has no ter
rors for US. 1t is cry that has
been heard from time immem
oral, and will continue to be
80 long as there are politicians
who crave for office and are fen
ced out of the public pasture. 1t
is admitted that Mr.. Michel is a
polished gentleman, and his op-
pOnents will bear testimony to
the fact that he has not DETAINED
the characters of his comp
etltors-Dr. Aswell and Judge

this he is attracting to him

1t is matter Of general Interest just

Many parents call in the family physi-

when he was first called in consultation,
All good -fxuily physicians say: "Give
the children Castoria." Healthy parents
know this remedy Of old, for they took
it themselves - children. Is was more

NUGGETS OF THOUGHT
From The Think Tank of an Idler


| One of the most importan
things in all the world for each O
as to bear in mind is: That en-
lightened self-interest embraces
within It's mighty arms the entire
human race.
Be true to the highest and best
in yourself. and it follows as the
night the day you cannot then be
false to any man.
Why are we yet governed by the
worst? Because since our I'm.
civil war, Greed and Fear have
been in the saddle.
TO have good government oul
best men have only to come to the
front and hang together for pub
lie good as rascals have in the
past for a private one.
When self-love forsakes the
path it first pursued.
And finds the private in the pub
lie good; "the millennium will not
be far away.
Creeping into the lives of men
everywhere is the thought that CO.
operation is better than competi-
tion;.we need each other and by
giving much we receive much. "
| heard a man say lately, "In
principle I'm democrat believ-
ing in a tariff for revenue only,
but my private affairs are in such
a precarious condition has fO-
the present I'm bound to advocate
protection"
Recently another said (and this
last was from New O1leans) "I'm
a Hall man, a believer in the
Good Government League. and l
believe they'll win, but I'm fight.
ing them because if they succeed
l m sure to. lose my job. :"
Comment on such principles and
such politics is unnecessary.
Is true freedom but to break
Fetters for our own dear sake
And with leathern hearts forget
That we owe mankind a debt?
No; true freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear
And with heart and hand to be
Earnest to make others free -
The good of the many rather
than the good of the few must
come uppermost, ere Louisiana
can join the vanguard of progress
as other States in the Union are
doing.

JUDGE HALL DiSpAAldf1 fHi
GUBERNATORIAL OFFICE.

! Some days ago the Picayune
printed, in the course of a
report from its correspondent
at Sunset, La, of Judge Hall 8
speech at Grand Coteau, St..
Landry Parish, delivered Sept.
IL, instant, a statement that the
Judge had declared that it made
no difference to him whether he
was elected governor or not, as
he had something to fall back on.
1t appears that Judge Hall
denied having made such .
declaration. and the Picayune
was called on by the judges
political manager in this city to
withdraw the statement. This,
the Picayune, in it's desire to be
a correct collector and recorder
of news and of the other current
history of each day, promised to
do, if upon investigation it was
found to have made an incorrect
report of the matter.
The investigation was had,
and the result is printed else
where in the mornings issue of
this paper in the form of letter
from the Picayune's correspon-
dent on the ground there, affirm
ing his former report and sub
stantiating it with a certificate
signed by eight citizens who
were present when Judge Hall
made his speech and heard him
deliver it, and they duly certify
to the words of the judge that:
Il have no personal ambition to
be governor. 1t makes no
difference to me whether l am
elected or not. l have some
thing to fall back on"
The testimony to the accuracy
of the Picayune's report in the
premises should establish the
fact in any court of justice, and
without doubt it would, but it
does more. 1t offers additional
confirmation of the unreliable |
and treacherous nature which
causes the Judge to forget his
own acts and utterances. Any
statement concerning matters
de novo. made by Judge Hall,
the Picayne would accept without
hesitation, but where the sub !
ject is dependent ON recollection
and remembrance it would be
received with reservation as to
the reliability Of the judges
memory.
The Picayunc has no excep.
tions to offer to Judge Halls ex-
pressed Indifference to his pos
sible or impossible election to
the chief executive Office in the
State of Louisiana. He already
has certainty of a twelve year
term on the Supreme bench of
the state at an annual salary of
Sc, 900, and it is not strange if he
regards with Indifference the
intangible and elusive chances of
securing a four year term in the
gubernatorial chair at a salary of
S., 900 year
In making the campaign the
Judge takes no real risks, and
should he by any stray freak of
fortune be elected governor, who
would have a right to complain
il he would refuse to give up the
larger prize for the lesser?
Now, however, while he is max
ing the campaign, he takes no
risk whatever, and it is with
profound satisfaction that he
can afford to declare his indif-
ference to the gubernatorial
