WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
OUR ALFALFA LAND

ANY good alfalfa land i 500 an
acre land.
Our farmers realize $50 10 SO
an acre for their alfalfa seed TO
say nothing about the hay value.
There are but few favored alfalfa
seed sections. Climate, rainfall.
soil and altitude must be favOr-
able. Our lands are thus peciiI-
iarly favor. You cannot raise
seed ii Iowa. Minnesota, Illinois,
Nebraska nor IN Eastern South
Dakota except IN unusual seasons.
Alfalfa is surer than fruit grow
ing, small grain farming and even
corn raising. It does not have
to be planted each year aud stands
draugth and hot winds and frosts
better than any other plant.
Our lands are near home and You
can look after them with but lit-
tie cost, Why go hundreds 81
miles when you can buy better
lands cheaper IN the corn belt
near home.

Judge Hall is now campaigning
in the city of New Orleans. Along
with his co-laborer, Senator
Gueydan, they are circulating all
kinds of estimates a. tn VIII I
their majority will be. Guey dan
is modest and puts it down at 1S, :
600. Hall goes him one better
and now has got to thinking that
he will carry Orleans parish. And
it's a game with them to tell the
city folks how tremendou *ly the,
will capture the country, and tn +
will soon be telling the countrg
folks how overwhelmingly t. y
will carry the city of New Orle" ;.

A contention arose a few days
ago whether or not voter, under
the primary election law, could
call in the assistance of an out
slider to help him prepare his bal
lot. The Goo-Goos in New Or
leans has issued the mighty fat
that all men doing so would be
rushed to Jail, as it was against
the law. 1t has however, been
decided that the law does not pro-
hibit the right OF voter to reques,
some one to assist him in the mat
ter, where it is obvious that for
one good reason or another he is
unable to do so.

Senator Sanders.

The news comes from the coun'
try parishes, where Governor San.
ders is now addressing the people
and it comes from the city of New
Orleans upon no less a reliable
authority than the Picayune, that
Governor Sanders will carry the
State and City beyond a doubt fol
a seat in the United States Senate.
He has been greeted with the
greatest applause every where he
has appeared so far and his popu-
Iarity is as great now, If not
greater, than it ever was. In the
course of a splendid editorial, the
Picayune a few days ago showed
where, at the time of the EXPOSE
ton fight, Governor Sanders was
strongly urged by the leading
citizens of New Orleans to relin.
guish his seatin the United States
Senate and take up the fight for
the Exposition. While we lost
the big show, still the people of
New Orleans, and the State, will
remember, the great sacrifices
Governor Sanders made in their
behalf and will elect him by a
large majority.

"Governor Sanders and Hon.
John T. Michel, both of whom
were warm personal friends of
Bob Snyder, have been exception
ally kind to Mrs. Snyaer and ner
daughter, and this letter from Mrs.
Snyder testifies to that fact:
Baton Rouge, La, Nov. Is, 1911.

very strong that Governor Sanders
and Mr.. John T. Michel were
warm personal friends of my

is the request) by me in deep
gratitude for the loyalty Governor
Sanders and Mr.. Michel have
shown Gladys and m" through
their love and respect Tor Mr..
Snyder. All they have done for
us is because they loved my rus
band, and such reward - Tensas

is, outside of our own home folks.

So hopeless has grown the cause
Of the Goo-Goo orators that they
are now engaged in wildly SANDER
ing and censuring everything that
offers any chance of deluding a
few voters. Even that peerless
gentleman. Superintendent Har-
ris, of our State public school
system, is coming in for big
share of the slurs. He has done
nothing worse than to make few
speeches advocating the claims of
Hon. John T. Michel for the gov
ernorship. It's pretty come of
when candidates and supporters
of the Goo-Goo movement are
dining with such as Dom
mick C. O'MalleF. They are dy-
I'M; hard, bat t4.y are dying just
the same, Brother Harris.

Parker, Bruins and one or two
other Goo. Goo leaders in New Or
leans have been very active oflate
diegingI up illegai or false re
gistration in that city. Their Of
ficiousness has been turned into a
boomerang by the n. 0. Picayune.
The registration certificates filled
out by these sanctimOnious gen.
tlemen, fac-simile of which were
printed in that paper, show that
with all their boosted intelligence,
they are as amenable to the criti-
cism of the public as any. one else.

1t has taken "Cousin Bob" a
long time and whole lot of dough
running through the State to dag
nose the political situation and he
has at last quit straddling and
gone over to Hall. Some men
labor a whole lot and never reach
anything but ruinous conclusions.
Cousin Bob will soon realize that
as a political prophet he Will pro-
badly have another guess coming
to him in the future.

Candidate Hall Weak At Home.

Why right here at home-in
candidate Halls supreme court
district-he will not develop as
much strength as he developed in
the race for associate justice. He
is weaker to-day than he was
thirteen months ago and then his
majority was 319 we believe.
Candidate Hall has lost some of
his strongest supporters in North
Louisiana and has not made any
new friends. He developed his
full strength when he was a can
didate for the Supreme Court
iudgeship. 1t is notorious that in
that election he appealed to the
governor for help. Not satisfied
he appealed for the help of the
game wardens and the registrars
of voters, yet despite all these
frantic appeals, he was so un-
popular with the voters that he
barely received majority. Much,
very much, Of this support he has
lost, and lost it forever. In its
place he has not gained cor
poral's guard. Candidate Hall is
weak, very weak, in north Louis
lana. He may, by strenuous efforts
and continuous work, receive a
majority in two North Louisiana
parishes. Likewise he may re.
ceive a plurality in two other par
ishes, but that is the extent of his
majority in North Louisiana
Monroe NeWS.Star.

Arseae Pujo and Cousin Bob on
one side to divide the vote and
Sanders on the other side by him
self. We can plainly see the
finish. 1t is all over but the shout
ing. So far as the Foster Rams
dell tilt why that doesn't seem to
us as though the former has any
opponent at all.
