with respect represents. that he would
Like to be governor or lieutenant COVER.
nor of Louisiana, that he was bambooz
led, mesmerized. and disappointed, pre-
venting him from reaching success in
1908, when he canvassed the state in an
effort to secure the Office of Lieutenant
Governor, and that, by reason of the
shifting sands, he was assaulted and
beaten by large majority and that the
office. like Byron, whose sweetheart
married another, and upon meeting her
child, stopped and embraced it with the
remark, Il kiss the babe who should be
mine.'
And petitioner further represents that
he is hungry after place and power, and
that the irony of fate deprived him of the
honors and glories of the position
where Lambremont feeds and fattens;
that the said Lambremont came near
being promoted by succession to the first
office in the State, but by reason of the
fact that his mud gun exploded, Sanders
refused to stand sponsor for any such
racket. and like your petitioner, was
hampered in the stretch thereby pre-
venting him from realizing dream.
That all these things contributed to
his humiliation and that he is entitled TO
an office by reason Of his past SORROWS.
He further asks that the former judg.
ment be reversed, set aside, annuiled
and that the future decree, singular and
plural, he. she, it and they be given over
10 him with the proper enthusiasm.

The Annexation Buqaboo.

The history Of our country shows that
when we 60 into country and get con
troll OF it, we take it. Reciprocity with
Canada, should it come to pass, will play
upon the patriotism OF Americans to the
end that sentiment for annexation may
be worked up. 1t is not apt to succeed.
The Canadians are not so dull but that
they can realize that annexation to the
United States viii never come until Can
adams are ready and anxious for it. The
imperiatistic tendencies of the Repubi-
can party have been checked by Demo
cratic supremacy and even were they
not, the United States would not attempt
to stake Canada without Canada's con-
sent, a proceeding which would involve US
In an undesired war with Great Britain.
1t is quite within the realm of probabi-
ity that some day Canada will become
part of the United States. 1t will come,
il it does. through the mutual desire of
the people of the two countries and it is
at best a long ways off.
Not SO with Mexico. Texas, which
formed part Of that Republic, was an
nexed and the present turmoil in that
country to- lay leads US to predict that
sooner or later the only solution will be
the establishment of protectorate under
our flag.
Japan may object, but we could paci-
fy her by offering the Philippines which
have cost us Millions and which are un-
desirable. By SO doing we viii avoid the
possibility of misunderstanding with
the Mikado.

the logic of his position in favor of SUBJ
stantial free trade with Canada. For the
Canadian agreement is fundamentally a

diately after the concert, the music to be
furnished by far famed orchestra. Fly
