The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1912-01-18

eliminate Doc. ASWell from state pOIltlcS,
and it is also hoped that his little speller
will go with him.
Plaouemine Protector: We understand
that some of the ring candidates are get
ting cold feet. The primary is near at
hand, don't you know.
Baton Rouge New Advocate: Ned
Rightor had better pray to the Lord that
all the folks in Louisiana who are in debt
don't vote for Judge Hall.
Vermillion News: Doc. Aswell's prin-
cipal support is from the few disaffected
Democrats who have but recently quit
their party A vote for the spelling-boo
candidate is vote thrown away.
Monroe Independent: If Mr.. Michel's
claims in the city of New Orleans are as
grossly exaggerated as the claims made
by his friends with regard to Caddo parish,
he will be the most gloriously defeated
candidate who ever offered for high office
in Louisiana.
Rayne Tribune: State School Superin-
tendent Tom Harris is working overtime to
get the schools out of politics, and inciden
tally, to get out of the game himself, judg- |
ing from the manner in which he continues
to roar in behalf of John T. Michel's hope
less and forlorn cause.
Plaquemine Protector: In New Orleans
the ring has been in power for nearly
twelve years. When man lies on one
side in bed for twelve years he gets bed
sores. New Orleans is soon going to turn
over. She is insurgent to the core, and
there will be political earthquake there
on the 23d.
i Abbeville Democrat: And now comes
}. Register Grace of the Land Office into the
limelight as fee booster, only excelled by
the land grab bling former Secretary of
State, John T. Michel. There is nothing
: for the people to do but to turn them out.
Vote for Charles P. Johnston for Register
of the State Land Office.
Mer Rouge Democrat: It is claimed,
but not conceded, that John T. Michel will
receive 100 votes in the parish of More
house. 1t is claimed, but not conceded,
that John T. Michel will carry the parish
} of Ouachita. The men who can be made
to believe that Michel will receive such
vote can be made to believe that the moon
was made of cheese.
Monroe independents: People who are
supporting James B. Aswell for Governor
should bear in mind that he and his chief
hackers had no hand in the work of purg-
> ing the registration rolls of New Orleans,
which insures an honest election and
makes possible the defeat of the machine
ring, and without which no candidate in
opposition to the machine would have a
/. ghost of show.
st. Francisville True Democrat: The
most rabid of his opponents will assurediy
feel the moral grandeur of Judge Halls
: quiet, djgni6ed statement with reference
to the Rightor charges. In them is shown
D the fine poise of the man who has been
8 selected to lead the battle for reform
There is no ranting, no mounting, no affec-
tation of outrage, but plain statement of
fact coupled with the simple declaration of
. his right to privacy in his personal affairs.
;, Louisiana Democrat: II the people of
n New Orleans want the governorship, they
n must give us candidate who is clean, able,
upright, incorruptible and unassailable.
. Then and in that case only his Claims
= will be recognized and be given every con-
u sideration to which they are entitled.
n Michel doesn't fill the bill, his stature is
# too short, and all that the Picayune says
# in his favor will never gain him vote
from men who know his speculative pro-
clivities.
IS Michels literature, now being circulated
= in Lake Charles, has photo of Billy
% Bisso's bluff bet Of $1,000 on Michel, but
n neglects to state that Bisso's bet and a
: second bet of the same amount were
4 promptly covered and that Joseph Laugh
:, lin, a Hall supporter, Haunted $4,000
y check in the faces of the ring for ten days
% without an attempt on their part to ''call'
u him. Mr.. MichePs managers evidently
= believe that the country people never read
the New Orleans papers.
Shreveport Caucasian: It is becoming
j. self-evident that the strength of Judge L
E. Hall as a candidate for Governor il
growing steadily. This is as it should be
ic and is very gratifying to his friends anc
= to the people throughout the State who
= stand for good government. This rallyine
N to Hall is significant. It is not only pro.
ID test against the rule by the machine, bu
Id it is the forerunner of the success and the
,e triumph of Judge Hall at the polls, where
=, the frauds OF the past shall not be tolerated
= and where good government and all this
70 implies shall dominate for the good of thu
Q. people.
IS Mansfield Enterprise: Corporal God
of frey, member of the State militia, wht
,e lost an arm while firing salute in hono
i of Governor Sanders at the opening of tn,
20 State Fair at Shreveport, has been givel
- pension OF $50 per month, on the ap
