QUIET REIGNS AFTER PITCHED
BATTLE IN LOUISIANA TOWN

all of the wounded were union men
who had gone across the country from
Deridder and nearby mill towns to
Grabow yesterday under the leader
ship of Emerson for the purpose of
making demonstration at the Gal
loway plant.
The union men halted In front of the
Galloway company's office and Emer-
son started to speak. He was con-
tinuously interrupted by mill employees,
who beat tin cans and made other
noises to drown his voice. Amid the
ieers of the non union men a shot was
fired which struck man standing be-
side Emerson. The non-union men
broke for the mill office and secured
rifles which had been stored there in
anticipation of trouble. In a moment
there was fusilade of shots. After
the firing had continued 10 minutes,
and with two of their number dead and
Is others wounded, Emerson and his
followers broke for the woods nearby.
The less seriously wounded among the
union men were cared for al a. farm
house. Thos who were able to travel
made their way through the woods to
the public road, several miles above
Grabow and returned TO their homes
last night. Emerson went to Deridder.
where he was arrested today.

that preachers continued to teach along

that "all good republicans will refuse
to join the malcontents," in the forma-
ton of new party and says those
who are not satisfied with Mr. Taft

what they desire by voting for Wood :

The governors statement follows:
II am not inconsistent in the posi-
ton I have taken that republicans need
not bolt their party and will not be
considered as having bolted If they
vote for Woodrow Wilson.
Many OF the most prominent and in
fiuentiai democrats in the country did
not vote for or support Mr.. Bryan.
They remained democrats neverthe-
less and are all supporting Woodrow
Wilson now. | do not think a new
party erected upon the passions of any
number of men can live. When those
who are righteously angry because of
the action at Chicago come to their
senses they will discover that they are
angry at certain men In the republican
party and not the splendid old party

size that the issue is as clear as a
