It would be absolutely impossible to
express my honest opinion of our

go out and get some players like the
best clubs are doing. Other managers
have better men warming the bench
than we have in our regular lineup,
but the first thing to do that would be
best for the team is to get a manager
that is capable OF benefiting the club.
If they want a team 1t is possible to

the day of the Congressional
Convention held in New Iberia.
when a public expression of my
tariff views placed me in a then
hopeless minority. But being in
a minority when one knows he
is right in principle does not for
ever estop one from raising his
voice at the %opportune moment,
when the iniquities Of a system
that had to be endured then,
presses so heavily now that rock
ribbed Republican communities
rise in rebellion and cry for re-
lief.
Mr.. Chevis. continues to harp
on Mr.. Ransdell. as though he
and not Foster was the issue and
in his last article declares that
Mr.. Ransdell voted with
Speaker Cannon not once but
repeatedly against a specific
pledge of the Democratic plat
form" What are the facts in
connection with them? Since
Mr.. Chevis will not tell the
whole story let me briefly out
line it to the jury the truth
of my statements can be verified
by the records and by the
Speaker of the House, Hon.
Champ Clark, who has borne
testimony to the Democratic
probity of Mr.. Ransdell and by
the Washington Post in a recent
editorial.
It is true that Mr.. Ransdell
voted five times in the lumber
schedule to maintain a duty of
One ISL 0) Dollar per NJ. feet
thereon, but on every other
schedule of the Tariff Bill he
voted exactly as Champ Clark
minority leader, ,and now Speaker
OF the House, voted, Inc aum"
Der schedule was not made a
party issue, and there was no
attempt made to bind Democrats
thereon, either in the House or
Senate by Caucus Rule. The
fight for free lumber was not
made by Democrats, but by jim
Tawney of Minnesota, chairman
of the Appropriation Committee
and First Lieutenant ut joe
Cannon, Aldrich ct Ais. When
the vote was taken on the lum-
Der schedule a number Of Re-
publicans led by Tawney voted
in favor of free lumber, although
these same men including their
ally, Foster, were voting for out

the question because it is not
even remotely germane thereto.
The crux Of the controversy,
says Mr.. Chevis (erroneously),
is my attack on Foster and sup
port of others, who went much
further than Senator Foster
went on the Tariff question and
my present support of Ransdell,
who violated the pledges to the
voters of the fifth district and
voted with Speaker Cannon not
once but repeatedly, etc. If the
phrase much further alludes
to the late lamented McEnery, I
refuse to dig into the buried
past and disturb with profane
hand the old Roman whose hu-
man side appealed so strongly to
the people of this State.
The crux of the controversy is
not what Ransdell did, nor what
/ did, but what Senator Foster
did, what role he enacted in the
staging of the Infamous Payne
Aldrich Tariff iniquity of 1909,
when he voted twenty-seven
times with Aldrich and ducked
thirty-seven times. That is the
question, may it please the
Court, and in appealing to the
bar of public opinion I cannot do
more than I have already done

the several crimes of the Senior
Senator from the official records.
which Mr.. Chevis has at no time
attempted to deny, answer or
controvert, contenting himself
by saying:
That the Senator is abundant
" able to take care of him
self" Truly a short cut from
a dismal slough whose vicious
exhalations sicken and gag a
normal Democratic stomach.
| can hardly blame Mr.. Chevis
for letting the Senior Senator
clean out his own Augean stable.
[ submit that Mr.. Chevis is, "by
every rule of logic, by every
cannon of ethics and morality
estopped from criticising my dis
section of Senator Fosters tariff
record" unless he can show the
jury he has impaneled and ap-
pealed to that I have erred in
one Of the several counts of the
indictment.

my support, without protest at
the time. of others who were in
the same tariff boat with Foster,

support included a support Of

Mont Eagle, Tenn, Sept. 2, II.
Editor st. Landry Clarion:
I am just in receipt of the
Clarion of August 23rd, wherein
my friend, Mr.. Cheyis, attempts
to answer my reply to his recent
protest against my dissection of
Senator Fosters Tariff Record
published in your valuable paper
of earlier date, wherein he again,
this time not skillfully, attempts
to dodge the issue. Here an
apology is due you, Mr.. Editor,
in asking for more space, as !
fear it is time wasted in arguing
with one who persistently side
steps into the shadows Of irrele-
vancies, from the blazing sun OF
the main issue that remorselessly
beats upon the guilty head OF the
Senior Senator from Louisiana,
Honorable Murphy ]. Foster.
When Mr. Chevis asserts that
| am seeking ito divert public
attention from the indictment |
Chez lodged against him incl
he seems to be utterly oblivious
of two facts:
1st. That he is Senator Fos-
ter's campaign manager, his au-
thorized spokesman, and may |
be permitted to add his ablest
protagonist in the State, if with
his splendid talents and facile
Den he cannot refute arguments
with facts, and fingers on and
reiterates irrelevancies, weak
indeed must be the cause of his
client, the Senior Senator.
End. I am not an issue at all;
NV sins of omission and COM
mission have no earthly rele-
vancy to the subject matter I'M
der discussion nor do they inter-
est the general public. If they did
II could hold up my hands and
show the court appealed to that
in the matter of party fealty to
principles, platforms and nomi-
nees that they are as clean
hands as any in the State. But
i am not the issue and therefore
refuse to discuss that phase of

rageously high rates of duty on
every product raised or manu-
featured in their respective
States. Thirty-eight Democrats
in the House and seventeen out
of tWenty-seyen Democratic Sen
ators voted for the duty on lum-
Der, just the same as Mr.. Rams
dell. and among them those
fathers of Democracy, Daniels
of Virginia, Money, the Minority
leader, and Bacon of Georgia, ct
ais. If Mr.. RansdeIl ''lapsed
from grace he was in the best
of Democratic company; but it
was only in regard to lumber
that he Y0ted against the major
ity of his party in the House.
In every other particular, as
above stated, he voted with his
party, nor did he ''duck'' in any
particular. So Nh. Chevis' effort
to yoke him with Cannon falls
fiat as the Record shows.
A creditable witness for Rams
dell in this particular is Honor
able Champ Clark, at present
the Democratic Speaker of the
House of Representatives, then
Minority leader, who says in a
letter to Mr.. Arnold Barksdale,
of Ruston published during the
Congressman's campaign last
fall:
Mr.. Ransdell always attends
Democratic Caucuses and abides
by the decisions thereof. In the
great fight against the Cannon
Rules he stood manfully by the
party. He voted with his party
against the Payne Bill, also in
favor of my motion to recommit
that bill with instructions, which
instructions are a tip-top Demo-
cratic platform, also against the
adoption of the Conference Re-
port on the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot
Tariff Bill. He also voted with
his party to recommit that Re-
port. These are all the party
test votes there were since I be-
came Minority leader. He also
voted for me for Speaker against
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon-all of
which seems to be a good
straight Democratic r Record
My recollection is that on one or
two items in the Tariff Bill he
voted different from what / did,
and so did many other Demo-
Gratis; but no Caucus action was
ever taken on them and / never
tried to make them a test of
party fealty and would not, if it
were to do over again. Every
body knows that in any general
Tariff Bill every member will
find items which he does not like,
and that any tariff bill, whether
passed by Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, is full of compromises,
but | am proud Of the unanimity
with which the House Democrats
voted on the General votes
more unanimously than ever be-
fore, and Mr.. Ransdell helped
this unanimity all he could"

In London Objected To.

Washington, Jan. II. - Commander
William s. Sims, commanding the bat

aid to President Roosevelt, will be
reprimanded publicly for his alleged
indiscreet "last drop Of blood" speech
made at Guild hall in London on Dec
last when the officers and men Of
the fleet were entertained by the lord
mayor of London.
Secretary Meyer asked Commander
Sims for an explanation of the au-
thenticity of the statement He re-
piled that the remark attributed to
him by the newspapers was correct.
He said, however, that his remarks
were on the spur of the moment and
without preparations, and he explained
that he was stating only his personal
opinion.
While his explanation was frank and
comprehensive, Secretary Meyer felt
that mild disciplinary action was nee
essary because of the wide publicity
given to Commander Sims statement.

DIPLOMAT TIED POLICEMAN.
Colonel Scrusss, 1t Is Charged, Helped
His Butler Escape Arrest.

Atlanta. Ga, Jan. 11.-Colonel w. l..
Scruggs, former minister of the Unit
ed States to Venezuela and well known
in diplomatic and literary circles, aid
ed by his wife and daughters, cap
tured Policeman Spears, who had gone
to the Scruggs home to arrest the but
Ter, and detained the officer until the
butler escaped. The butler, Robert
Lovett, was wanted for assault on his
wife, and Spears appeared with war
rant while the Scruggs family was at
dinner.
Scruggs told the policeman the but
Ter should not be arrested, but Spears
disregarded the diplomats warning
and seized Lovett. Then Scruggs seiz-
the policeman, as did also Mrs.
Scruggs and her two daughters.
Spears was thrown to the floor, ac-
cording to the policeman, and tied,
and Scruggs told the butler to run.
After the butler was given time to
get away the policeman was released.
Several warrants have been sworn out
for Colonel Scruggs. Scruggs says the
policeman was insulting.
