MR.. MICHEL AND HIS PLAT
FORM.

Hon. John T. Michel, secretary OF
State. the would be governor OF
Louisiana, has launched his plat
form and given it the fullest pun
licity in the press. 1t should De
considered as presented, without
sentiment, and as the phrasing OF
one of the shrewdest politicians OF
the state. Measured by the stand
ard of his friends and allies, ne
scars on his platform beyond the
ordinary level of politics, but as
viewed by the people who are con-
cerned in practical reforms, he
deals in glittering generalltles ana
in promises he can not fulfill.
It should be said in all eandof
that it seems strange that one who
has been connected with what Is
called the ring methods in New Or-
leans, for more than quarter OF
a century should now become the
advocate and the apostle of the re-
forms which have been resisted
systematically and determinedly by
individuals who have practically
dominated the State through the
most vicious system Of politics.
In all seriousness we can not I'M
derstand how Mr.. Michel could now
consistently pose as reformer and
as an advocate of Fetrenchement
when his supporters very political
life blood Is dependent on the very
office he would curtail or abolish.
It may be recalled that Mr.. Michel
as secretary of State, at salary OF
$500 per sannum anassed fortune
through the Prerequisites of the Of
flee. It was only after Mr.. Hebert
who was candidate AGAINST him
had demonstrated the money max
ing opportunity of the office that
the perquisites were abolished and
the salary fixed at $4,000 per annum.
Without DEPRESSING, it may be said
that Mr.. Hebert failed in securing
the nomination. He was defeated
by the majority cast for Michel in
New Orleans.
IN brief, while his platform is
written in honied words. it is want
ing in that substance of sincerity
which appeals to reason and COM
mon sense. Had Mr.. Michel been
more discreet, he would have exer-
cised that degree of common sense
which would have restrained him
within conservative limits. But il
is immaterial what he proclaims in
his platform, he could not, if he
were governor of Louisiana, sever
his connections with the political
machine and he must be subsePvi-
ent to the DEGREES of the men who
would control New Orleans politi-
cally, therefore with Mr.. Michel as
governor all the political evils
which now afflict the people would
be continued to a greater degree. II
may be conceded that MT. Michel is
filled with good intentions but he
is not the man who can measure
up to the requirements Of the State
at this time. The people have tired
of ring methods and will have a
change.
