OUR CHOICE.

There will be but one more issue
of the BANNER before the result
of the primary election of the 23rd
of this month will be known.
This paper has always stood
squarely for the triumph of re-
gular democracy in the State and
Nation, and has always given it's
support to those candidates, both
State and parochial, whom it be-
lieved were better qualified than
those opposed them to perform the
duties of the Offices they sought.
From the beginning of the pre-
sent campaign, the BANNER did
not hesitate to express its choice
among those who were seeking
the support of the people. 1t has
all along advocated in its columns
the cause of those it favored in no
uncertain language and given an
auswerable reasons why the peo-
pie should select them; and now
as the campaign is nearing to its
close, we are proud to state, from
reliable sources, that the BAN
NER's choice for each of the Of
fees to be filed will be nominal.
cd on January 23rd by the demo-
Gratis ofthe parish of st. Mary and
the State of Louisiana.
For United States Senators,
Murphy ]. Foster and Jared Y.
Sanders, are the choice of the
BANNER. This paper was the fret
to announce and advocate them.
They are both able, wise and
faithful; they both have served
their state with great ability and
fidelity, and when they become
members of the U. S. Senate, they
surely will be found among the
foremost of that great body of
learned law-givers.
For Governor, John T. Michel
is our choice, and he is the choice
of a large majority of the demo-
Gratis OF the State. He too has
served his people with marked
ability and faithfulness. He is
far better endowed to give Louis
lana the administration she needs
than either of the gentlemen who
are opposing him.
For State Senator, Hon. E. VIM.
Dreibholz is the BANNERS choice
first, last and all the time. He has
always been true and faithful in
public and private life; he is ex-
perienced in legislative matters,
having been a faithful member of
the Constitutional Convention of
1898, and of the lower house of the
State Legislature. He too de-
serves the support of all the dem
ocrats of St. Mary and Vermilion
parishes, and will be the choice of
the majority thereof.
For the lower house of the State
Legislature the BANNERS choice
is Hons. George T. Veeder, Rene
Himel and Walter T. Gilmore.
They are young men of fine
ability, and trustworthy. They
are possessed with honor and pat
riotism, and the democrats know
it, and they will say so by their
votes on the 23rd inst.
For Coroner of the Parish of St.
Mary, DR.. w. j. Mcclellan is
eurely the BANNERS choice. He
is q physician and surgeon of long
experience-an able and success
full practitioner. He is a true
democrat, and when the test
comes. his acknowledgements will
reward him by nominating him as
q candidate for Coroner of the
Parish of St. Mary.
The above named gentlemen are
the BANNER choice. We repeat,
that each of them is better quail
fed to fulfill the duties of the Of
fee he seeks than he who OPP
poses him. The democrats of
this parish should nominate them,
l.

New Middleweight
Now in Limelight

NEW YORK, March McGoorty,
Klaus, Dillon and the. rest OF them In
their struggle to seize the middleweight
crown. may have a new competitor to
contend with. George Carpenter, the
French middleweight. who defeated Jim
sullivan. the English champion recently,
has stated that he intends 10 make q
trip TO this country for the purpose OF
dsputins the honors with our leading
middleweights. just now Carpenter Is
IN such great demands In Europe that
he has not been able to fix a definite
date for his contemplated trip to America.
The Ffenchman Is matched with George
Gunther and the famous KID Mccoy.
His bout with Mccoy is nearly two
months off yet Carpenter is planning
to make the trip shortly after he gets
through with the American veteran, pro-
vided. OF course, that one OF Mccoy's
corkscrew wallops does not bring disaster
In its wake.
From all accounts Carpenter Is a real
champion. His defeat OF Harry Lewis
indicates that he Is not a false alarm
by any means. There seems 10 be room
for doubt, however. whether he can make
the mlddeweisht limit. lie win meet
Mccoy as heavyweight. and In his bout
with Sullivan the weight was above the
scala The French champion is young.
and Is still growing Possibly by the
time he reaches this country he will
have developed into a full-fledged white
hope.

White Hope Brigade
is in a Turmoil

NEW YORK, March Is.-The futility Of
the white hope" brigade grows more
palpable every time any OF those big
fellows get into the ring to battle each
other. or when Joe Jeanette. the gen
orally conceded runner-up to Captain
Jack johnson. starts against one Of the
so-called hopes" Just the other night
Jeanette made such n piay-toy. out Of
Andy Morris. the Boston heavyweight.
that before the second round was over
the crowd was yelling for a cessation Of
the slaughter.
A few weeks back Jim Stewart. who
had passed out Of the hope" ranks after
some Convincing on the part Of Sam
Langnrd, but who. because he flattened
a few no-aceounts was again offered as a
possibility. met Carl Morris, the okla
homa engineer, In a ten-round bout.
There were those there who declared
that bout a most wonderful piece OF
ring work. and some people who ought to
know better talked about a willingness
to walk twenty miles through binding
snowstorm To SEQ such q battle again
Some expert said that the hope of find
Ing a white man TO give johnson the
battle OF his life and a licking in the
near future was not dead: that the hunt
need go no farther. because either Morris
or Stewart was the man. IT'S to laugh,
Isn't it,
Carl Morris has had many a fight
around here and has not shown anything
that would cause the most optimistic |
white hope chaser TO grow enthusiastic. |
He is not hitter. or he would have
Tom Kennedy flat with any
,ne OF dozen blows he landed on his
Thin IN their ten-round bout at the EN-
olre Athletic club. Tho only thing we
lind that no Is improved IN Is stepping
iround. lie Is the same old gluten for
punishment that he was I'm his fight with
lin Flynn. lie can't deal out punishment
himself. So his only recommendation IL
his ability to take beating.
