The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1911-12-28
From Our State Exchanges

Lake Charles American-Press: If, as
has been claimed, the Michel mud machine
was slow in getting start, it must be
acknowledged that it is making up for lost
time.
Colfax Democrat: Hon. Amos Ponder,
the game attorney for Gov. Sanders, says:
"Any man who opposes Gov. Sanders is
not a Democrat Mr.. Ponder draws
$4,000 year for this kind of talk.
Mansfield Enterprises: The bosses are
now talking about pulling Johnny Michel
out of the race for Governor. We hope
they will do nothing of the kind, as we
want to see him knocked out by the people
as rebuke to corruption in every form.
Richland Democrat: There is no getting
around the fact that Michel is a "goner"
most man, and we believe that he will be
surely defeated in the State, if not at the
first primary, then certainly at the second.
Mansfield Enterprise: The conspirators
have failed in their effort to blackmail
Judge Hall and force him to pay them to
shut up their ISLANDERS. Instead of paying
them anything he denounced them as SLAM
derers and let it go at that. Bully for
Hall!
Lafayette Gazette: The government is
nobody's COW, everybody has right to
milk her, in season and out of season.
The Hon. John T. Michel has not been
slow to avail himself of his official trust as
Secretary of State to milk the poor, meek
old COW. Shame on such man.
Lake Arthur Herald: While we hear but
little political talk in town it seems the vote
here will be divided between Hall and
Aswell for Governor, with Hall perhaps in
the lead. So few Michel men are to be
found at Lake Arthur that his name is
hardly ever mentioned as possible winner.
Homer an-Journal: The Webster
Signal has come out for Judge Hall.
While it has heretofore occupied neutral
position on the Gubernatorial question, it
has stood squarely for reform methods and
it is not surprise that it has taken it's
stand for the Good Government League
candidate.
Natchitoches Enterprise: If it is true
that the authorities of the Louisiana State
University have assumed the power to
force the students to hear but one side of
public questions and to attend meetings in
the interest of but one candidate for public
office, then the time has come for public
protest which will make such monstrous
conditions impossible in the future.
Bastrop Enterprise: Prof. Aswell con-
tinues to complain that both Hall and
Michel are ignoring him in the campaign.
In New Orleans the other day he said these
gentlemen both refused to discuss the
issues with him. The issue between Hall
and Michel is whether ring rule shall con-
tinue or not, while Mr.. Aswell has tried to
avoid this issue and make new set of his
own. That's all.
Lake Charles American Press: Voters
who are opposed to the election of Cover
nor Sanders as Senator should not scatter
their fire. Congressman Pujo is the only
opposing candidate who has developed
sufficient strength to beat him. His big
vote in the Seventh Congressional District
will be augmented by a practically solid
league vote in New Orleans and the great
majority OF the leaguers over the State.
The issue in the Senatorial race is between
PuJo and Sanders, and those who scatter
their votes are only assisting to make
Governor Sanders election possible.
Pointe Coupee Banner: Some of 'sthe
business men" may possibly believe that
Michel is sure winner because he has the
ring behind him, and they do not like
to vote for what might be called ga loser"
These latter we wish to disabuse of the
idea that the ring" is invincible; they
are battling for their lives, and defeat
stares them to-day as it has never before
done. Now, Mr.. Voter, if you wish con-
tinuance of the past and present disgust
