The AsweIl Candidacy.
Monroe News-Star. 4

Monroe NEWSSTAND
Nearly two weeks have slipped by since
President Aswell of the State Normal, an
nounced his candidacy for Governor, and
as yet we have not been able to detect any
indications that he ''stirred the hearts of
his countrymen or set the woods afire. y
As matter of fact, the announcement fell
flat and failed to disturb the even tenor of
State politics.
President Aswell is in rather peculiar
position. He has utterly ignored the Good
Government League and cannot hope to
win the endorsement of that organization.
Though beneficiary of the Blanchard and
Sanders Administrations, he has turned
upon the leaders and has stabbed his
erstwhile friends in the back" AS an in
dependent candidate, running upon his
own popularity, we fail to see how it would
be possible for President Aswell to develop
sufficient strength to win.
The gubernatorial race, as we see it, will
be between the candidates representing the
Good Government League and the faction
known as the Regulars. Mr.. Aswell may
get around and beat the bushes, but his
strength will dwindle as the days go by and
the contest becomes really interesting
There need be no fear of dull and unin-
teresting campaign. When the hot days
of the 'sgood old summertime" comes there
will be discussions aplenty, with the parti-
sans fairly bubbling over with enthusiasm.

THE STATE PRESS.

Monroe News Star: The man who has
made a fortune sometimes gets into society,
and then society gets into him.
The Abbeville Meridional says Prof. As
we'll is an autocrat, land if chosen as the
Chief Executive of this State, there will at
no time be any doubt who occupies the
throne, both fore and att
LaSalle Ledger: Wouldn't it be better
not to start SO much politics just yet? Its
nearly year until the election and the
people to whom the candidates must look
for support have got to make crop.
Shreveport Journal: The prohibitionists
are going into the struggle with the utmost
confidence as to the outcome, and before
the first day of June they will have the
enemy liked to an everlasting FRAGILE.
Dodson Times: 1t is entirely too early
to open the campaign in earnest, and as for
stating our choice for Chief Executive of
Louisiana, We prefer to wait until all the
aspirants have announced and submitted
their platforms.
Louisiana Democrat: Mr.. Bryan is still
posing in the role of Democratic Mentor,
although his unfortunate coalition with the
late lamented Populist party subjected him
to the censorious animadversion of large
and very respectable element of the Dem
ocratic party.
Crowley Signal: The Good Government
Leagurers have given ground for the sus-
picion that they are more anxious for the
scalp of Jared Y Sanders than for good
government. They have camped on the
trail Of the inividual and have forgotten
the system that made it possible for him
to be boss.
Crowley Signal: Our lawyers do not
seem to understand that they are sworn
officers of the court and as rigidly bound
to secure justice as judge or prosecuting
attorney. They stoop to all kinds of ex-
pedients and to delay the machinery of the
law and to throw dust in the eyes of JUS
tice. More than anybody else lawyers are
responsible for lynchings in the South.
Lawyers are responsible because the
methods they employ in the defense of
killers of men have made it almost an utter
impossibility to secure conviction except
in the most extreme cases-and by tex
cases may usually be understood cases
whre an inhuman wretch has no money.

Get the Right Legislature.

New Orleans States: If bills prevail
that ought to be defeated the fault is not
due to a lack of constitutional safeguards.
It is to be found in the failure of men whom
the people pick out to represent them to
take advantage of these safeguards.
Kinder Gazette: The remedy for bad
laws lies in your hands, Mr.. Voter. Send
men to the Legislature who know the value
of good legislation, and who will have the
manhood to stand for their convictions,
irrespective of the influence OF the Cover
nor, or any other interested official. The
remedy for existing conditions lies in the
selection of the next Legislature.
Monroe Independent: The way to cor
rect conditions is to strip the Governor of
his power of patronage, and the way to do
that is to send men to the Legislature who
are neither servile nor venal, men who
think for themselves, who know the evils
that exist, the remedy for them and have
the courage to apply corrective measures.
Merely putting out one set of men to put
another set in without going to the root OF
the without destroying the machine
will accomplish no lasting good. The ma
chine must be destroyed and the machine
is nothing more nor less than the system
which is the product of the appointive
power and the unfair registration and
primary election laws which disgrace oul
statute books. The only way to reach and
eradicate these evils and abuses is through
an independent and fearless Legislature
Let the people look to it in the next cam
paign that they send men. not jelly fishes
to the Legislature strong men, Democrats
and not near Democrats VIII
know the difference between democrac!
and autocracy, robber protective tariff
and tariff for revenue only, areactionar!
and progressive, and Louisiana will no
only secure decent and economical hom
government, but democratic representation
in the Senate at Washington.
