We cannot see the harm in ask
ing for Democratic support, as II
is no more than Aswell himself
has done, but the fact of Judge
Halls denial of it puts another
face on the matter. Winfield
Comrade.
There are those who profess to
know, who say that Senator Tom
Barrett, of Caddo, (tbe silent can
didate for lieutenant governor)
will now line up with DIR. Aswell
as the best proposition in the
gubernatorial race, which would
mark the points of the triangular
campaign about as follows: Hall
and Gueydan, Aswell and Barrett,
Michel and Wimberly. Which
looks good to you?-Bienville
Record.
Senators Foster and Thornton
are standing manfully by the sugar
interests of this State, as is clear
ly shown by the following dis
patch from Washington, which
was published in the daily papers
recently: Senators Foster and
Thornton have worked unceasing-
ly this session to impress upon
their fellow senators the fact that
the innocent Louisiana sugar
planter, who was already victim
of the trust methods of purchas-
ing his sugars, should not be made
to suffer further for the iniquities
Of that great offender, and had
succeeded in inducing many SEN
tors to assume neutral attitude,
even if they would not agree to
line up openly ON the side of
sugar. Plaquemine Champion.
We give this advice to the vot-
Ars of Louisiana: Take care that
you nominate for Governor of
Louisians a man who is his own
master, and not another's. Take
care that you nominate a man who
has the firmness to work out his
own public life, who scorns to
make combinations for his own
sggrandizement at the expense Of
he public service, and who is not
selfish autocrat, but is in touch
With the common people and in
with their wants and
ceilings at all times aud under all |
circumstances, and not only when |
le wants their votes. --Bossier

Aldrich. senior, looked stern for mo-
ment. A second later his face was
wreathed in smiles, and calling to his
wife he told her of the elopement She
did not hesitate a moment. She had
a kiss for her son and his bride, and
Aldrich senior, in the face of that, could
do nothing. Taking his son by the
hand he muttered something under his
breath and then both forgave and blessed
them.

eeived from Clarence Darrow, the law
yer, an offer of $4,000 If he would drop
the tax fight against the Harvester com
pany.
Chairman Dillingham; ruled that Ed
gars testimony could not be received un-
less counsel for Senator Lorimer could
connect it with proof that the Harvester
officials believed Mr.. Lorimer was inter-
ested in the fight against them. Mr..
HaRecy promised to develop testimony
along that line when the committee re-
sumed So-day.
Thomas a. Teomey, a sales agent for
the Edward Hines Lumber company, tes-
tilted that between January and March,
