The national subcommittee afbltra-
ment of the party differences, and
that the Loisel-Hebert people had
faithfully held to the contract, Win
the approval of very large majority
of the state central committee,
whereas the other factions mad
played fast and loose with their
pligLted agreement and had cooked
up conventions and delegations with
little regard for precedent or regu-
larity. The national committee voted
4s to 2 to admit the Loisel-Hebert
delegates at large, two negative votes
being cast by Committeeman Pearl
Wight of Louisiana and Cecil A.

EIGHT REASONS WHY CHAMP
CLARK WON'T. 20.

Edgar H. Farrar Of New Orleans,
one OF the country,s
abIest lawyers, and a close observer
and fearless critic of political issues
and public men besides, recently an
nounced himself in favor OF GOV.
Woodrow Wilson for Democratic can
didate for president. incidentally
Mr.. Farrar cited the following e1ght
reasons for his opinion that Speaker.
Champ Clark lis the only asplrant
for the nomination whom the Demo
cratic party cannot elect if he be
nominated"
.sFirst-That he is a mere politician
and consequently without any OF the
qualities of a statesman.
.Second-That he is absolutely de-
void Of constructive capacity, ana
has been mere trailer all his life
sThird-That he cannot and will
not attract the votes of that great
mass of conservative Independent
voters in the doubtful states, whose
support we must get order to win,
tsFourth-That he has among his
blatant supporters men whom MIL
lions of Americans despise from the
bottom of their hearts.
..Fifth-That he is persona nor
grata to all the financial interests
of the country, who remember tt1e
wild economic rot that he spouted il
the campaign of 1896.
sixth That he is persona moi
grata to the Cleveland Democrats
i and to all those countless citizens slz
lsWho love and honor his mennory, be
cause they remember that Mr. Clarl
compared him to Judas Iscariot am
Then apologized to Iseariot for max
ing the comparison.
SeYenth-That his many public vi
terances, notably on Canadian an
| nexation, show that he is without
I Z
/ that discretion which public nal
ought to have.
"Eightn-That he is responsible TO
the action of the house in puttins
sugar on the free list, which re
! gard as fragrant violation Of ever;
principle laid down in any Deme
: Fps
cratic platform
Holding these views it is not SUI
prising tina. Mr.. Farrar declares tina
! he Cannot conceive how any Lot
isiaua Democrat can support M
Clark
! Lots more of us are in Mr., Farrar
! state of mind on that proposition.

The Republican national committee
spent eight busy days at Chicago pre-
pairing the roll Of delegates for the
temporary organization of the con-
vention called for the purpose OF
nominating Republican candidates
for president and vice president OF
the United States. The committee
began the hearing Of contests on
the 9TH instant and concluded the
task at night on Saturday, the 18th.
There were 254 seats involved, en-
bracing whole or partial delegations
from Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Ar
kansas, California, Florida, Georgia,
Indiana, Kentucky. Louisiana, Mich
igan. Mississippi, Missouri, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia

of the cases the contestants were sup
porters of Col. Roosevelt, only about
"a fifth of the total number of con.
tests having been Instituted by Pres
dent Taft's adherents.
The decisions of the national com.
mittee gave 235 Of the disputed seats
to Taft delegates and 10 to Roose
welt delegates III many instances
the conclusions of the commit
tee were unanimous, and in cases
where divisions occurred the Roose
velt minority vote usually varied
from II to 10, while the Taft MAORI
ty vote ranged from 81 to ~.

dropped dead in New Roads Wedges

Fitting Memorial to DR.. S. A. Knapp.

Fitting Memorial to DR.. S. A. Knapp.
Mention was made in The Chief
some weeks ago OF movement afoot
to erect a monument to the late DR..
Seaman A. Knapp of Calcasieu,
whose great services to the agricul-
tural Interests of Louisiana and other
states placed him in the front rank
of our philanthropists and public
benefactors. A still more fitting
memorial is now proposed by the
General Education Board having the
disposition of the Peabody education
fund, namely, the endowment of
school of country life to be estab-
lsshed as an adjunct of the Pea
body College at Nashville, Tenn.
The board has appropriated s250,000
to be devoted to this worthy purpose.
The New Orleans Picayune peril
nenlly says:
"Posthumous honors have been be-
slowed on many men much less Wor-
thy OF consideration than DR.. Knapp.
Many have rendered more glittering
services to the state Or to the peo-
pie, but no one has done more to
advance the cause Of agricultural
education In the south than he and
his memory deserves to be perpetu-
ated in just the way proposed. The
School of Country Life will carry on
the work inagurated by DR.. Knapp.
and while serving as a memorial to
great man it will also prove of the
highest usefulness to the entire
south.

legal domicile of the Lafourche basin
leyee board is still at Donaldsonville,
in the parish of Ascension

leYee board is still at DonaldsonVille,
in the parish of Ascension. .
The case was appealed to the SUI
preme court, but on appeal the levee
board waived all question of jurisdlc-
lion, as will be seen by the follow
ing extract from the opinion of JUS
Ifice Breaux, reported in ITO La. Re-
ports, at page 772, in the case of De
non vs.. Lafourche levee board:
eve will stop for d moment before
Regularly taking up the issues OF
1.-The case to mention that the
question of Jurisdiction raised by
| defendants is eliminated from the
case by the expressed abandonment
of that issue in open court by coun-
sci for defendants, by whom the IS
sue had been raised.
/ The decision of Judge Leche, rem
Idered March Is, 1905, is therefore res
adjudicata on the question of the
i legal domicile of the Lafourche levee
/ board.
More than this. Since that deci-
sion the legislature has absolutely
refused to change the domlclle from
=lDonaldsonville to Gretna.
ii In 1904 Senator Brady, who was at
.lthat time also member Of the La
Ifourche leyee. board, introduced a
Ibill in the. senate which had for its
#lsoIe object the amending of section
I3 of act. No. 13 of 1892 SO as to fix
the donicile Of the board al. Gretna.
The bill, known as senate bill NO.
tI62, passed the senate, but when it
Preached the house it failed to pass
on June 20, 1904, and again on June
i3O, 1904, as will appear by reference
to the official journal of the house
of representatives. at pages ga and
$50.
BY introducing this bill, Senator
! Brady of the board recognized that
J the domicile was in DonaldsonVille
: as fixed by the board in 1888 and
as decreed in 1903 by solemn judg,
menL Of the court.
=L. III. Marrero, RI, the then aftor
