The Governors Secretary
Monroe NeWs-Star:

Governor-Nominee Hall has been
fortunate in his selection of pri-
vate secretary. The post, one OF
great honor and responsibility, will
be filled with ability, discrimination
and dignity by former Senator w. F.
Millsaps.
In Louisiana we pay some Of our
public officiels poorly. The govern
Ior's salary Of $1,000 a year makes
it difficult for him to make both
ends meet, if he has no other income
and he is lucky if he gets through
his term without falling into debt.
Up to two years ago only $4,000 to
1920 was allowed the private Sec
rotary. The position is one that calls
for something more than mere abil-
ity to look after executive cores
lpondence; but the compensation has
been entirely in disproportion to the
qualifications required.
During the second year of Govern.
or Sanders administration, it was
raised to $4,000. Even at that figure.
la man possessing the qualifications
desirable in an incumbent of the of
flee, is not adequately paid.
Governor Hall, therefore, is to be
congratulated On his good fortune
in having Senator Millsaps consent
| to serve him in this honorable and
responsible office.
Mr.. Millsaps is lawyer of high
lrepu'r. with a wide range of infor-
lmatinn and an extensive acquaint
ance among the public, professional
AMI business men of the State. His
service for four years in the State
Senate put him in touch with the
loffirial life of the capital, and he
has been close student of public
affairs.
| A safe counselor and loyal
friend, deeply in sympathy withi
issues on which the recent cam
paign was fought, he can not fail te
prove factor in the success of the
new administration.

THE SpEAAERSHIP
Is Developing In Aggressivcness
With -Four Candidates In the
Field, Thomas and His Sricnds
Are Encouraged.

: New Orleans Picayune, March 16;
Hon. L. F. Thomas, Of Shreveport
candidate for speaker of the House
left for his home last night, after
having been her for a week hObnOb-
bing with the statesmen.
Il am more than pleased with She
speakership prospects, he said
with satisfying smile. "Things
look all right
Further than this Mr.. Thomas
would not enter into the spcakprship
matter. It is known, however, that
he saw great many people while
here, and it is said that lie succeed
ed in making some new alignments.
Thomas supporters claim that they
have forty members of the House
sure, outside of the New Orleans de-
legation, and they think they can
secure support here, too. In fact,
it is limited that Mr.. Thomas secur-
ed some promises while here. 1t is
known that he had one or two long
talks with Judge L. E. Hall, and
while it is not known that the
speakership was discussed, that
much is naturally inferred. Friends
Of Mr.. Thomas do not conceal their
belief that Governor Hall would be
we'll pleased with Thomas, although
he will not care to take hand in a
contest in which Hall men were in
yOlved.
From reliable sources it was stat
ed last night that after the week of
political conferences here. with the
new governor in the city at the time,
that there is a distinct drift to L. F.
Thomas for speaker. Senator Joseph
VOcgtle, of Orleans. for president
pro tenn. of the Senate, and Colonel
Robert Ewing, of Orleans, for ma
tiOnal committeeman.
The speakership fight is the most
aggressive, because there are four,
avowed candidate in the field, each
of whom enjoys a peculiar support
and strength all his own. The other
three are:
Robert T. Butler. of Houma Ed
ward J. Gray, Ibeville, and Fred C.
Claiborne, of Pointe Coupee.

WEATHER AND THE CROPS
Tic Winter Now Ending Has Been
Unusually Severe

>h"StdbS otttTc
New Orleans Picayune, March
fS: The past week has developed no
material Improvement in the wealth
, er, as rain storm has traversed
! the entire width of the cotton belt.
while temperatures have been low
for this late date. AS a result crop
preparations have been further re-
| tardcd in the entire district east of
| the Mississippi River, but the re-
ports from the west of the river
continue as favorable as ever. Plant
ing has been started in southwest
ern Texas and will soon be under
way all over the southern half of
that state. While the preparation OF
the land in the eastern half of the
belt has been delayed, it would be
untrue to say that planting has been
retarded, as the time has not yet
come for seeding the land, and a
week or two Of good weather would
bring about very different condi-
tlOns from those now existing.
That the winter. now ending has
been unusually severe is generally
admitted. Temperatures have been
lower and the cold more protracted
than in many ears, while the rain
fall, although not so very much in
Excess of the normal, has been so
mcessant as to greatly delay field
work. 1t is admitted, however, that
there is a splendid season in the
ground and that as soon as the
weather permits plowing and plant
ing the seed will germinate quickly
and growth is apt to prove rapid.
The same conditions which have
delayed the preparation for the cot
ton crop have also interfercd with
the planting 0 fcorn and rice. The
corn acreage may be in some meas
ure affected by this delay, but there
Is every prospect that there will be
full acreage in rice, particularly
IN Louisiana. The practical ex-
haustIon of the old crop holds out
the expectation that there will be
big demand for rice next season.
which is apt to encourage full
planting.
Sugar planting has also been de-
layed b the wet and cold weather
and the start of The sugar season has
been consequently delayed.

The DWindlinq Roosevelt Boom

The New Orleans States says: 1t
would i,r too much to say that the
Roosevelt boom has collapsed, but
the fact is plain to all that it is no
going ahead with the wild rush pre-
dicted and in the COlOnel's case the
enthusiastic ralIying of the crowd
is absolutely necessary, becaus" if
he does not appear to be winning
there is imminent dagncr of the bot
tom dropping out of his campaign.
The truth is his campaign was
based on the theory that it would
go like a prairie fire and set the
country ablazc with joy and excite
ment, but the attitude of the people
since the announcement has been
strangely apthetic and indifferent.
In the meantime delegates are being
instructed for Taft with monOtOnOus
regularity, and his score is now
about $50 to a paltry bakers dozen
for Roosevelt. y
The close of last week found the
Virginia delegation in the Taft col
umn and in the States of large pop
ulatiOn and many delegated, such as
New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania and
Indiana, there is no sign of anything
more than scattering support for
and even in the far West
ern states which were expected to
given solid delegations strong oppO-
sltlon TO his candidacy is being man
ifestcd. IF this thing keeps up the
Roosevelt boom will begin soon to
look as sick as wormy chicken
