To the Democrats Of Louisiana.

At the recsnt meeting in Chicago OF
the Democratic National Committee it
was decided to appeal to the Democrat
ic press of the country to open their
columns to popular subscriptions to the
fund necessary to defray the legitimate
expenses of the campaign of Gov. Wood
row Wilson and his running mate, Gov.
Thomas R. Marshall.
By the action of the convention at
Baltimore and by the position since
taken by its nominee the party has vol
unfairly cut itself off from the financial
support of the money power and the
predatory interests. Gov. Wilson has
declared his intention to scrutinize the
subscriptions to the end Of rejecting
those which bear the faint of selfish
corporate interests.
The Democratic party stands reso-
lutely against the corrupt use of money
in the campaign. But vast sum will
be required to meet the legitimate
needs of the militant Democracy in the
pivotal States which will decide the
complexion of the next National Ad-
ministration.
To raise that sum by popular SUBJ
scription in every State in the Union
will not be difficult task. Four years
ago, when prospects were finitely less
fiattering, the Democratic masses of
Louisiana subscribed SIS, 900 to aid the
Democratic campaign. 1t was by far
the largest subscription of any Southern
State. 1t ranked with the subscrip-
tons of the three or four States in the
whole country which stood at the head
of the roll of honor. 1t gave Louisiana
one of the prominent seats at the coun-
sci table of the National Democracy.
Louisiana ought to do as well in 1915
as she did in 1908.
As the Democratic National Commit
teeman from Louisiana and as a mem
Der of the Executive Committee which
Gov. Wilson and Chairman VIM F. Nc
Combs have selected to manage the Ma.
tional Campaign, / have opened through
the columns of the States and the
Shreveport Times, subscription lists fol
this purpose.
earnestly request every Democratic
newspaper in Louisiana to reproducs
this address and similarly to open it,
columns for subscriptions, each o.
which, if transmitted to me, / shall b
glad also to acknowledge in the States
| appeal to every Democrat in Louisi
ana, whatever his station. for his CO
toperation in this movement. Their
will be no limit on the amount of indi
vidual subscriptions. Whatever an.
Democrat feels he is able to give, be ]
large or small, will be gratefully &C
cepted, duly acknowledged in the col
umns of the States and the Shreveport
Times and promptly transmitted to tn
National Committee.

Are You Willing.


Now, let US reason together: If
you are Republican, Or have been a
Republican, are you willing to accept
Mr. Rooseyelt's statement? Are you
willing to slaughter your own party,
the party that has stood for SO much,
the party that has SO wisely compre-
hended the greatness of this nation
and that has SO nobly struggled in the
fulfllment OF its mission-are you
willing to strike it down at this time
and for this man? Are you willing to
substitute the will of one man for the
dictates of whole party? Are you
willing to make yourself Roosevelt
ian instead of Republican?
Just think it over. We are now
talking to rational-minded men, men
who have been Republicans because
they believe In the principles of the
Republican party. Is your hand rails
ed with an axe in 1t to dash out the
life of the Republican party? What
have you to gain by 1t? Colonel
Roosevelt has something to gain. He
wants revenge and even thinks that
be can get to the presidency, which Is
the lode star OF his ambitions, without
the aid of the party that has sc
greatly honored him in the past, ant
which he is now so grievously dis
IGNORING before the whole world.

Too Coarse a Speaker.

Harper's Weekly: Painful to say
Gov. Johnson has shown himself g
more abusive speaker than eastern
voters care to hear. He demonstra
ted his capacity to talk effectively in
California about the Southern Paci
fic railroad, but he does not talk eff
fectively IN the east about Mr. Taft
It is profitable, no doubt, to have the
east see him and take his measure
but it is not profitable in the way he
would like.

And that brings us to the second
point; Success. We realize that If
they could succeed with the new
movement, many men might go with
1t, for they want to succeed.
But is there left reasonable hope
of success for this new movement?
Do you believe that Roosevelt can
carry this country? he thought to

that Democrats as we'll as Republi

Our text is addressed to all who
have believed in the Republican par
ty, and to all who are not yet lost be-
yond the saving grace of common sense
and patriotism, as Republicans un-
derstand patriotism, which does not
mean that Democrat Or any other
party man can not be patriot also.
But there are men who believe in
the Republican party, who were born
in it, educated in 1t, or who have
into 1t through conversion to it's UNI
dying principles. The Republican
party is an entity. 1t stands for GER
tain things in this republic of ours.
1t has been the mission of the Repub-
lican party to be part of great things
and to do great things. The era Of
its power has been fifty years--the
most remarkable fifty years, we be-
lieve, in the history of any modern
nation. The Republican party has not
done it all, but it has been present
to say the least, when these things
were being accomplished. It's poll
cies have not stood in the way OF the
greatest development of the nation, in
every line. If the policies of the party
that has been in power had not been
right policies. this development
would at least have been hindered

Come, Let Us Reason together
cyrenus Cole Republican.

But Vermont and Maine have shown
that he can not get enough Demo
cratic votes to make 1t worth while
to count on them. There is no evil
dence of the disintegration OF the
Democratic party under the vitriol OF
Rooseveltism. The Democratic party
is going to gain, in many places, In
fore, Roosevelt must get from three
fourths to seven-eighths of the Re-
publicans, for 1t takes that many Re-
publicans to whip the democrats.
In Iowa, they tell us, he will carry
the state by 40,000-the fools. Where
will he get the votes? If he got all
the old time Cummins progressive
votes. he would barely have half of
the Republican votes of Iowa and
the whole of the Cummins progress
siyes nave not bull moosed, by any
manner OF means. But il he got all
of them, he would come 10000 votes
shy Of having as many as the Demo
Gratis will normally poll. To win in
Iowa he would need three-fourths Of
Iall the Republican votes in Iowa, and
La few more, for the Democratic party
| is about as big as three-fourths of the
Republican party in this state. Is
there any man so wild in his excite
ment and hysteria over this campaign
as to believe that he will get that
much Of the Republican strength?
Look around you, will he get even
ione-fourth9 In Vermont he got a
third of the Republicans, and the ma
tional election was still two months
away with conditions constantly inn
proving for the regular Republican
party. We hear great things about
his strength, but it is always in some
other state, or in the next county.
Three fourths of a party is not going
| to bolt, but unless it does Roosevelt
can not carry Iowa. Just reduce it
to figures and leave the rhetoric out.
AS we look at it there is no reason
able or other hope of Roosevelt win
ming. That hope might as we'll be
dismissed from your mind.

THE REAL FRIEND.

If e'er / find peoples friend,
Who does not brag about himself;
And doesn't seek some selfish end;
Is not acquiring wads of pelf,
But strives in honor day by day
And always does the best he can
To smooth the rough and rugged way,
Ger which must pass his fellow
men,
I'll cling to him with all my might,
And sing his praises as / go.
His speech will not be stale and trite,
And in his eyes a light will glow.
He will not spend his day in ease,
While busy men are at their work,
Mounting the phrases thought to
please
To hide the fact that he's shirk.
Nor will his bank account grow fat
The while he fights the peoples
cause;
He will not seek the glory that
Depends alone on mems applause,
But If he loves his fellow-men,
And tolls for them he will not care
There's neither cheers nor spot
lights glare.
Too many pose as public friends,
Who merely work their tireless
jaws,
And use, to cover selfish friends,
The mantle of the peoples cause.
Too many drop all useful work
To thrive upon this empty plea,
That all the burdens now that irk
Some day they'll take from you and
me,
A peoples friend is one who strives
Without thought or gain or fame
To happier, better makes our lives
Than what they were before he
came.

makes the argument from them-and

1t is the most astonishing and ap.

An historic party must be killed be
cause it did not nominate him-and it
would be a great and glorious party
if it had nominated him.
And in refusing to nominate him the
party has simply taken him at his
own word, namely, that it is wise
precedent which limits Presidents to
two terms and upon his own declared
ayowal that he would not under any
circumstance take another term
mark the words, any circumstances
and upon his own admission, in writ
ing to friend, that his denomination
would be calamity.
And then he changed his mind, and
because the party did not change its
mind with him, he says, kill the party

Iwealth-and every epithet and OPP
