government, vote for the same old gang,
but if, on the other hand, you wish reform
vote for Judge Luther E. Hail.
Shreveport Times: A new Christmas
toy is soapless soap-bubble blower. Oh,
if they'd only get up a hornless horn and
a drumless drum!
Lake Charles American Press: In the
matter Of S., 900 and SIC, 1000 bets it looks
as though Mr.. Michel's compaign commit
tee had started something without any
terminal facilities.
Monroe Independent: Of all the low,
dirty, damnable, Matchmaking attempts at
character assassination, the effort of the
Michel campaign committee and its hire
lings to destroy the good name of Judge
Hail is the lowest and the dirtiest and the
most damnable that has ever fallen under
our observation.
New Orleans States: The Hon. j. W..
Bolton, the pious financer Of Alexandria,
has discovered that in trying to be the
Warwick who would make Michel the
Governor OF Louisiana he succeeded only
in making mess that offends the nostrils
of decent people throughout the State, and
that he stepped into the mess with both
feet. 1t is sad time for the Hon. Bolton.
Ruston Leader: Governor Sanders
ought to study up on the history of Lou
isiana, if it is true, as stated, that he said
at Jennings the other day, that only two
new parishes have been created since the
Civil War, and they during his administra-
ton. Lincoln. Richland, Webster and
West Carroll were created since the Civil
War, in the order in which they are
named.
Vermillion News In Calcasieu Parish
circulars have been sent out by the local
manager of the Aswell campaign asking
contributions from the schoolmarms. The
begging circular thus appeals to the
ladies: ''Will you come prepared at the
next institute meeting to give ST to the
Aswell campaign fund.-" This is a petty
graft, similar to that of holding up the
school children for the Aswell speller
Mansfield Enterprise: The friends OF
"Pussy FOOT remind US of what Governor
Vardaman of Mississippi said about his
opponents in that State: "It is mighty
hard work to kill ants with sledpe ham
mers." Bot in the present Louisiana
campaign Judge Luther E. Hall is killing
full nest of them at each lick, and he has
about got the nest of boodlers extermi-
mated. The Michelites are staggering on
their last legs.
Mansfield Enterprise: The Good Govern
ment League of New Orleans raised a sum
OF $4,000 and will pay reward of $1,000 for
the frst conviction of person perpetrat-
ing a4raud at the coming primary election
and $3.50 for each subsequent conviction.
This has struck terror to the hearts of the
ballot box suffers, as they know their fate
is sealed. Honest election is the 5000
Goo" cry and they are determined to have
the law enforced strictly.
st. Francisvile True Democrat: To but
good Governor and Lieutenant Governor
into Office without strong coadjutors in the
General Assembly would be useless. To
elect a man because he is popular and
pleasant, and without regard to his special
quallhcatlons is the rankest folly. To
elect good, but weak man, whose princi-
pies, or possibly his habits could not with
stand the temptations that lobby in the
state House, is actually criminal.
New Orleans States: We never THOUGHT
that the Hon. Tom Whitetop Harris would
engage in an enterprise more serious than
betting punches Of stage money on the
election of Pussyfoot Johnnie. hence We
are surprised beyond measure to hear that
ne had fallen Gown in an attempt to pur-
chase killing information against an
opponent of his candidate from 2 Monroe
bucket shopper. Was it stage money the
Hon. Tom offered the cautious Moritz to
make an ''affydavey'' or the real coin OF
the realm? But whether the money! was
good or bad, it is obvious that the malo-
dorous job exploded in the hands of those
