John T. Michel Withdraws
Quits Race for Governor.

For more than six months the
State has been embroiled in all
the turmoil incidental to a gene
raj primary. During this time |
have appealed to the white De-
mocratis of my State their suf-
frage as the nominee of the party
for governor.
| have received the kindest
treatment and am indebted to
many throughout the State for
courtesies shown. The splendid
majority given me by the citizens
of New Orleans, who have known
me best, has awakened in me a
deep sens of gratitude, and this
has been added to by the conf
dence reposed in me by the vote
cast for me on Jan. %.
This has not lessened because
| failed to receive a majority Of
of the votes cast. During the
campaign much feeling was ex-
pressed and bitterness engen-
dered. Business has been un-
settled and generally disturbed,
a condition witch | do not wish to
prolong. Whatever may be my
personal ambition, l believe that
my duty to the State and to those
friends who stood by me so loyalty
demands that | sacrifice my aspi-
rations, and in that manner lend
what eford | can to the dispelling
all bitterness and thus relieve the
State OF the VeXatlOn OF another
election.
To Judge Hall, who received a
plurality Of the Democratic votes,
| have feelings only Of kindness.
l tsust and believe that he will
do all within his power to furtoer
the interest of the united Demo-
craticy. l will support him as
strongly as opposed him, and
will lend all my efforts to his can
didacy, as the nominee of the
Democratic party, and to that
end / formally notify the Demo-
Gratis of Louisiana that | with
draw as a candidate for the De-
mocratic nomination as governor
of my State.

Dr.. AsweIi for Good Government

DR., AsWeii Tor Good Government
By his propmt and emphatic
de :laration for Judge Hall, DR..
Aswell has rendered signal SER
vice to Louisiana and to the cause
and the principles which he ad'
vocated during the long cam
paign. His action will cause nc
surprise to his admirers and sup
porters, he can rejoice that their
good opinions Of their leader have
been indicated. 1t was not the
only course open to him. He
might have yielded to the urgings
and the tempting offers of the ma
chine. He might have given full
sway to the promptings of perso'
nal disappointment and sulked in
his tent while the battle for good
government was fought out in
TIE second primary. But the
course which he chose was the
only worthy, manly and consis-
tent course open to him. That
he refused to consider the un-
worthy ones and unhesitatingly
elected to carry on, under the
leadership Of another, the fight
against ring domination in the
State, will always be remembered
to his credit. It constitutes an
example in every way worthy of
praise and emulation. Leaders
who can in the hour of defeat,
after a grueling and nerve-wrac-
king campaign, take the big, the
broard and the patriotic view,
are not so plentiful that the
action of DR.. Aswell can be per-
mitted to pass unnoted or unre-
membered.
The expressions of his followers
throughout the State leave no
doubt that the vast majority OF
them see their duty, in the final
campaign now begun, as clearly
as thei leader has done. In vo-
ting for him they were voting
for overflow Of the political ring
which seeks to extend its control
of New Orleans to absolute con-
troll Of the State entire. They
were as strongly against the city
ward boss put forward by the
ring as. were the followers of
Judge Hall. Upon the para
mount issues involved there was
no disagreement between the
supportsss of Judge Hall and the
supporters Of DR.. Aswell. Their
only difference was one Of pre-
ference as to who should lead the
antiring fight. That difference
has been settled in the primary
just past, which showed that the
majority Of anti-ring voters IA
vored the leadership of Judge
Hall in the present contest as
clearly as it showed that the ma
jority Of Louisiana's voters
strongly opposed the elevation Of
a despotic city ring to control Of
the destines Of their State. In
-one Of it's phases the primary last
week was a primary to determine
whether Judge Hall or DR.. As
we'll should lead the good govern
ment forces in the final and de-
cisive battle for a defeat Of the
ring. The choice has fallen upon
Judge Hall. DR.. Aswell accepts
the verdict manfully and grace
fully, in a way to compel admit
ration and respect. His declara-
ton OF loyal support for Judge
Hall helps to make more secure
the triumph of the cause and the
vitality important principles for
which he and those who supper
ted him made their fight for the
first primary.
