Is Rapidly Gaining Strength in All
Sections OF The State.

The Voice, published at Gretna
Jefferson parish. says: As Luther f.
Hall visits parish after parish III
Louisiana, it becomes more certain
every day that his election will tri-
'umphanlly take place on January
%, 1912. Judge Hall is rapidly gain
ing strength in all sections of the
country, particularly North Louis
lana and West Louisiana, SOME of
the richest parishes in the State.
Another phase OF the campaign Is
that Miche's strength seems to be
rapidly waning in the country and
from present indications We feel abb
solutely certain that Mr.. Michel will
not hold as many votes in the coun-
try as will Mr.. Aswcll, with the pos
sible exception of the Second or
Third Congressional District. In the
city Of New Orleans Michel is uu-
qucstionably losing strength and it
would Seem very improbable that he
could have any majority III excess
Of Halls and Aswcils votes com
bincd in New Orleans.
Judge Hall will undoubtedly poll
Il magnificent vote from The capable
organization endorsing him in New
Orleans, while Prof. AsWell will Ger
tainly get the vote Of the Tenth
Ward leader and those III sympathy
with him, We recall ai The last
election Sanders carried The Tent II
Ward by n majority III The neigh
hOrhoOd Of 1000 and carried the city
rs less than 10000, by which You
can readily src what q handicap the
Michel people are going up against
from The start.

people can expect no relief from the
lexactions Of The trusts and the COM
Dimes, created and upheld by the Re-
publican policies, through which the
favored few are fattcning while the
toilers are struggling for existence.
Twenty years ago the trusts and
combines were few in number. but
today they are all powerful in their
influence over The national govern
ment.
A change in the administration
from Republican, To Democratic con-
troll offers the only relief.

Prof. ASwcIl Is inconsistent with his
professions and declaration of prin.
clpl"S. II he Is n rrlorincr, If II,
would relieve The State and tn,
Democracy from "mlsrulc." from
waste, extravaganza and spolia-
ton he should not seek nor accept
the favors Of the Bosses directly or
.covcrtly.
Political Independence can not
prevail in this State with the city
ring in power in New Orleans as the
dominant factor in The affairs Of the
State.
Political emancipation from iae
ring Is possible only when the rule
Of the Bosses shall have been de-
stroycd.
If Prof. Aswell should become an
ally Of the Bosses, could he destroy
the ring?
