THE STATE PRESS.

dale of Ruston, one of the grandest men
in the State, has espoused the cause of
Judge Hall for Governor. This means
much.
The Shreveport Journal SHES this brick
at Sanders Good Roads gold brick: The
Sanders scheme for State aid to the roads
has proven an absolutely flat failure-in
Caddo Parish as we'll as in DeSoto and
elsewhere.
Plaquemine Champion: Platforms are
made to catch unsuspecting voters, and
nothing else. No man ever made fairer
promises than Jared Y. Sanders, and God
never made man who violated more plat
form promises than the autocrat of st. Mary.
New Orleans Times Democrat: Hall
and Gueydan, democracy and the people
against the machine and the politicians;
good, government against autocracy and
tyranny and spoliation-such are the issues
submitted to the voters by the Good Gov
eminent League of Louisiana.
Colfax Democrat: We are for Hall in
dividually, and his platform because it was
made and adopted by representative DEM
ocrats from forty-nine Of the parishes OF
the State, and, therefore, instead OF repre-
senting one or dozen mems ideas, repre-
sents the combined wishes Of the Democ-
racy of the greater portion of Louisiana.
Mansfield Enterprise: Congressman
Puio. a candidate for the Senate against
Sanders and Broussard, says that he is in
favor of Judge Hall for Governor. Abso-
lutte candor and good faith with the people
is one reason why Mr.. Pujo is so strong
with the masses. He comes right out in
the open aad plays ball, and you know
what to count on.
The New Orleans Item on Aswell's po-
litical school system: Our schools are
saddled to course of study that more re-
sembles labyrinth than the broad and
straight avenue which should lead to learn
ing. The real lack is skilled teachers,
free of political bosses, to do their work on
an unhampered political plane. A GER
tain principal, drawing nearly hundred
dollars month, cannot speak grammati-
cally.
Shreveport Journal: Will Mr.. Aswell be
able to carry out the promises of his plat
form in this respect, say the taking OF the
schools out of politics? He is backed by
the school machine all over Louisiana, and
why? Because he is the admitted author
of the Marks School Bill, which places in
the hands of the State Administration,
through the Superintendent of Public
Education, the absolute control of school
affairs in every parish and school district
! Louisiana.
Shreveport Journal: We assert that
Judge Hall, the third candidate, is the man
in the gubernatorial race who might find it
possible to live up to the promises contain
ed in the platform upon which he stands.
He is making the race for Governor simply
and solely upon patriotic motives, and he
is absolutely unfettered. If elected he will
be in position to cafryinto effect the reforms
for which he stands-the elimination of
|
of useless offices, the return to the people
of the excessive power now vested in the
Chief Executive of the State, the enact
ment of laws to make certain the sanctity
of the ballot, the driving out of the lobby
at Baton Rouge, the repeal of the Game
Warden Bill and many other such meas
ures designed to better political conditions
in Louisiana. Judge Hall is a candidate
/. for Governor because his friends believe he
is the one logical man in the State to bring
to pass those reforms which every true
patriotic son of Louisiana feels to be ab.
solutely necessary.
Ibervine South: That the voters OIL
