WHAT SANDERS PROMISES TO
BE AS A sENAToR.

Should | be elected senator from
this state, | intend to devote my
self to these and similar questions
Of great national Improvements.
Special interests, big business
and standpatters! You will find
all of these in this campaign,
either openly or secretly working
for one or both Of my opponents.
Anybody to beat Sanders, because
they know that they have not been
able to control me during my legis-
lative past, or executive present,
and because they know that, If
elected to a seat in the senate,
will represent all the people Of this
state; because they know that
believe in the doctrine OF "equaI
rights to all and special privileges
to n%one;" because they know be-
Tieve in the principles of Jefferson
and jackson, ard because they
know that, If elected senator, ! will
work and vote with the progress
ives of this nation and not with
the reactionaries.
The fight between organized
greed and Democracy, the fight
between special interests and the
people, the fight between thoss
who believe in the existing order
and those who reach out for bet
ter things, the fight between the
standpatter and progressive, is be-
ing fought out in this state now;
and, for good or for evil, for suc
cess or for failure, for political
life or political oblivion, ! take my
stand with the p~rosressives and
against the reactionaries. line
up with those who believe in the
divine spirit of discomfort that is
ever reaching out for better and
higher things, rather than with
those who adhere to the doctrine
"Iet we'll enough alone"
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1911-08-19

on that occasion. Indeed, so complete was my answer that, not
wHhstanding that the opposition movement; which was originally
launched in this State last August, with the editor OF the Times
Democrat as it's principal m%outh-piece daily attacking my record,
yet, on the day following my speech at Ruston, the Times
Democrat, editorially, abandoned any further attack OF my rec
ord by stating: 'It is too late to worry over Sanders mistakes
and promises. The Sanders incident may be considered closed, or
practically cloed.'
This is an abandonment of the main fight. Still, my oppo-
nents cannot thus evade the issue. The fight was launched upon
the charges, first, that | had violated every campaign promise
made this people, and, secondly, that this administration had
been an extravagant one, and, thirdly, that the rights OF the
people had been trampIed under foot.
These charges are either true or false. If true, they must
be substaniated by the record, and, if false, they. brand my
political opponents with the crime of being willing to peryert
the record and misstate facts in order to make capital against
me. Every charge they have made, | have met and dlSproVed
at the Ruston meeting; and now they switch the issue and state
that the very foundation Of their fight, to-Wit, the violation OF
my promises, is no longer an issue in this campaign.
Until my opponents admit that what they have charged is
not true, until they have Withdrawn all false and misleading
statements they have made about me, l propose to hold them to
the Indictment and not permit them to shift the issue at thalEs
own sweet will. Either I am guilty or they are falsifers, 49,
Whilst there has been absolutely no attack made, byHNR
enemies, on the facts furnished the people OF this State, IN
my Ruston speech, I yet consider it very proper that, in these
more extended remarks, I should go somewhat more into detail
than ] was able to do on that occasion. wish to discuss with
the people Of this State every act Of this administration and
every dollar of expenditure.
This administration has been marked by the enactment of
progressive legislation. The conservation policies of this admin
istration have been not only to utilize that which nature has
given us, but also to increase and multiply these great natural
resources by the proper application Of brain and Drawn. There
fore, you see, we have perfected a comprehensive scheme OF
conservation; and the advanced policies, advocated by thus adj
ministration and passed by the Legislature, are closely related
in this great movement Of modern thought and progress.

tured I'm Fall.
Columbia, May 20.:-Special: Ac-
cording to his dying statement, John
Strong, negro, received a fatal
fracture of the skull in a most pc
culiar way. He said that while walk
ing along the track of the Seaboard
Railway, near Geiger's Spring, he
caught his foot in a crosstie and,
falling suddenly, received the injury
that caused his death This is about
all the particulars that could be
learned by the authorities after an
Investigation. Wallace Austin, al
so colored, who was with Strong,
was held by the coroner, but it is
said there is no evidence SO far that
connects him with the peculiar
death of Strong.
Strong and Austin were members
OF a railroad construction gang and
had been out having a nights frolic
and they were on their way to the
shanty car when the accident occur
red. Strong's declaration was made
TO his father, as he was about to
be placed on the operating table.
He failed to rally following the op-
Grafton and death resulted in a few
hours. This is one of the most un-
usual fatal accidents reported in
Richland county in many years.

when New Mexico asks the favor it
is feared But If there is Democrat
and Republican in office and both
parties are working tremendously for
the two congressman proposition, it is
seen that it will be much easier to get
congress to grant the request.
Once granted, then the fight can be
resumed and the Republicans or Demo-
crats-whichever can poll the most
votes-may take both offices; the deed
viii be done and nobody can undo it
and cut the representation down. So,
with the probabilities of getting two
offices later to fight for rather than
a cinch on two now and only one later,
the republicans are said to be willing
TO sacrifice one of the coming short
terms to the Democrats. Hence it is
that Curry and Hudspeth, Republican
and Democrat, may go up as law

Republicans say that he can't be beat
Aside from these two offices the Re-

Get Together Spirit Strong

Carrizozo, N. NJ, Sept. 13.-George
Curry is likely to be one Of the first
two congressman from New Mexico.
Just who the other one will be is not
certain, but it may be Andrew H
Hudspeth, of White Oaks, who is a
Democrat
The new state will have two con-
gressmen for a year and then only one,
for the next 10 years, according TO
the present status of things. Tne en-

was announced, gave New Mexico two

Politicians Have a Plan.
And here is where New Mexico poll
ticianS are going to try to put one
over New Mexico politicians of both
parties may and do fight, and fight
hard for the political offices, but when
It comes 70 working Tor New Mexlco
as whole, and incidentally increasing
the pie for the next fight, they line up
as one man. That is what is in the air
now. The leaders of both parties plan.
It Is said, to send one Democrat and
one Republican to congress for the
short term and then let them both fight
hard to have congress pass a special
act allowing the territory to keep its
two representatives.
With a man of each political persua-
sion in the house, they see that it
will be a lot easier to get such an act
through. With two Republicans in Of
flee as members of congress, there
would be considerable opposition, 1t is
feared, from the Democrats to the
proposition to give New Mexico that
