Col. Robert EWina

The Caucasian has received by
mail the announcement OF Col. Hob
ert Ewing. who is candidate to
succeed himself as the Democratic
National Committeeman from Lou
isiana. It has not yet been determ-
ined by the party authority in Lou
.isiana, how the nomination is to be
made. but unquestionably it must
be by a primary, which may be fix
ed to be held at the time OF the
Congressional nominations in Aug
ust or September of this year.
Possibly Col. Ewing may have ne
opposition and therefore, he will
|be continued in the service OF his
party as the National Committee
man, but should he have to contest
with some other aspirants for the
lcoveted honor, we should bear in
mind that Col. Ewing has rendered
valuable service to his party, Ma
ttional and State,that he is possess
led of experience and of great in
lfluenee in public affairs and that ht
lis entitled to the most favorable
reconsideration of the Democracy o.
Louisiana.

Weather and the Crops

New Orleans Picayune, Feb. 49,.
In some parts of the belt, notably
in the states east of the Mississippi
River. work in the fields is not as
far advanced as could be wished,
although there is a season in the
ground and the fields are III good
condition for working. Good wealth
er from now on will become a vital
factor in all calculations respecting
the next crop.
Whatever disposition existed
some time back to curtail acreage,
there is little serious talk OF sueil
now, with prices more
than two cents a pound above the
low figures Of December. In Texas
and Oklahoma the opening up OF
new Ian dwill in all probability add
somewhat to the acreage planted III
lection and in Louisiana ad Mississ-
lippi there will probably be an IN
Icrease in acreage owing to the de-
crease in activity by the boil Wee
Iyils. The gains in the central ane
western states will in all probablli-
ity offset any decreases that may oc.
leur in the Atlantic States.
Corn will probably be planted a
Extensively as last year. and OWNS
Ito the scarcity of supplies OF OH
lrice there is every probability ina
There will be some gain in the are
lseeded in that cereal. The lands ev
|erywhere have benfited by a goo
winter rainfall and good weathe
lis now needed to prepare the field
land seed the crops.
In the sugar district there ha
been rather more rain than was dc
sirable and field work has bee
!, llampered to some extent.

proof Of his assertion.
The next speaker, Judge J. G. Pugh
his amazement over this
of the conditions in the
City oGurt. He had always been a
friend of Lal Blanchard and had
his Influence towards
getting his appointment. Under such
condition he could no longer stand
for Lal Blanchard.
If the charge brought against Lal
Blanchard by Mr.. keeney be true
and they must be since they are OF
record, they warranted a proceed
ing of impeachment against Judge
Blanchard and as well as his disbar-
ment from practice.
Nor could Mandall escape indict-,
ment if the grand jury's attention
be called to his proceedings.
Judge Pugh referred to the as
sault of Oglesby on an old man,
Detective Howard. IT was flagrant
contempt of court but it has re-
NAMED unnoticed by Judge Blanch-
ard.
If such contempt had occurred in
Judge Bells court, the offender
would have been compelled to pay
the penalty by an incarceration in
Jail.
Judge Pugh deprecated the feeling
of lawlessness which is prevailing
in this community. He related how
several individuals of his acquaint-
ance and others he heard in the
street car approve the assault OF
Oelesby on an old man.
IF this influence was permitted
to grow through the failure to en-
force the law, in little while as
.saults would become common and
the law breaker would not hesitate
to murder whoever had incurred his
enmity. 1t was up to the people
to decide if law enforcement of law
defiance was to prevail.
The meeting was adjourned to
Monday next. 10 hruary 26, when an
other gathering of citizens will be
held.
To say the least at this time, If
half that has been said strue and
the record can not be falsified, then
Lal Blanchard should not be honor
ed with another term as judge and

THE BOARD OF HEALTH
The Appointments by Governor
Sanders and Mayor Eastman

When several weeks since there
was declared by the city authorities
9 quarantine against the towns OF
Texas infected with nliningitis, the
Board of Health disented from such
action.
The quarantine was suggested and
endorsed by a number of citizens
which impelled Drs. O'Leary and
Abramson to resign.
The Board of Health is comprised
Of five members, three being named
by the governor and two by the
mayor.
The resignation of E. Fl. Vorden-
haumen was announced yesterday.
The resignation of DIR. A. S. Rel
sor Sr. has been suggested but he
has declined to accede to this re-
quest.
The governor on being advised Of
these designations has had the va
cancies filled by appointing Dr. a.
A. Herold and Fred II. Gosman,
while Mayor Eastman has named
DIR. T. P. Lloyd and E. H. yorden-
baumen for the city.
On the advise OF. his many friends
DIR. Reisor will not resign. Some OF
his friends fake the view that if he
did resign this action would be con-
strued as an admission of weak.
ness.
DR.. Reisor is not aware that he
has committed any act or has been
guilty of any infraction requiring
his resignation.
- II is probable that when the
board is reorganized that DR.. Reisor
may be superseded as the Health Or
,fieer by some other member of the
Board, but he can stffttA be ,usefsl and
will be one of the valuable mem
bers of the Board of which he has
been an untiring and efficient Of
tficial and has fulfilled its every du-
lty conscienciousiy and faithfully.

An Election Law ViOlatOr.

A few days since there was tried
before Judge Baker, in the Criminal
Court in New Orleans, Edward Bref-
fiehl, an insurance solicitor, who,
on being found guilty of having vio-
lated the election law was fined $3.50
and assigned to two months in jail.
The case is to be appealed TO the
Supreme Court.
The accused is man of ,educa-
ton. He admitted that he could
mark his ballot, but that he did not
know all the candidates on the reg
ular or ring" ticket.
In his defense the accused had an
array of able and prominent coun-
sci.
In passing on the ease, Judge Ba
ker said:
whether BreffieIh voter or not
| is not the question invOlved-the
point is. did he ask for assistance
or not, and did he get it.
"'rhe primary object of both the
general election law and the pri-
tmary law was to insure the secrecy
of the ballot.
1.-The primary election law is vir-
tually a copy of the general election
law, except in some minor details
and particulars, but the object of
the primary election law is the same
las the general election law. as is
disclosed by the provisions made
to booths; and the fact that the vo-
tier must be alone and shall not dis
play his ballot shows that the Sc
jcrecy of the ballot was to be insur-
led.
DISABILITY as contended for by
the defense, that voter who is we'll
ldualified by education and physical
lIy not disqualified, but is unable to
lselect candidates to vote for because
he did not take the trouble to in
form himself of all the candidates
lon the tickets may ask assistance
lis not such a disability as the law
Intends should entitle him to assist
lance, because such a method would
be practically an open ballot"
i 1t will be recalled that on the eve
|of the Janusry % primary, thai
IGovefnor Sanders issued an edici
lin which he encouraged such vio-
lation of the law. 1t may be possible
That Eoyarnar SandarS assumed that
his expOunding the law would mol
: have been seriously questioned. but
nevertheless he must be held res
|ponsible for the disregard of tht
tlaw by his friends, number o1
iwhom he has involved in trouble.
II is safe to forecast the apprOva
by the Supreme Court of Judge Ba-
ker's decision.

The Binding Force of a Party
Nomination

The Caucasian would direct the
attention of its readers to COM
munication bearing on party nonin-
ations. T'he foreeful truth presenl-
ed must impress the good citizen.
and indeed Tie time has been reach
ed when nominations secured by
improper means should be replldi-
ated. As is we'll said by Mr.. Dnnson,
"We simply put premium on cor
surpt practices when we are hound
by nominations regardless OF Tn;
methods" etc.

What Should Be the Binding Force
OF a Party Nomination?
TO The Caucasian


1t is 10 the selfish interest of the
politician to teach the people to re
we're a party nomination. They do
this in order that the corrupt meth
|ods by which they obtain the NOM
ination shall not react upon them
selves. Accordingly. we hear the
unscrupulous men who secure the
majority by the most dishonorable
methods loudly preaching the doe
trine that the voters are honor
bound by the nomination, no matter
how it was secured. Such a doctrine
is pernicious. If the people accept
it, the consequences will be most
disastrous to popular self govern
ment. If you will think for mom-
ent, you will realize that nOmin-
ton should
Not Be More Sacred Than
Contract
1t should not be held in greater rev
erence than deed, a bill of sale, or
a last will and testament. The most
farmal and solemn legal contract
and conveyanCes are set aside If 1t is
discovered after they are made that
there has been fraud in their pro-
curement, or that they are tainted
with an illegal or immoral consid-
Grafton. The same principal should
be applied to political nominations.
Unless this is done, the voter has no
redress at all. If the citizen dis
covers, after the nomination has
been made that a fraud has been
practiced upon him, he should treat
the nomination as null AMI void.
There being no law to reach the
lease and no forum in which to try
lit, each voter should bring the mat
| ter before the tribunal of his own
conscience, and there decide it. No
law abiding citizen should feel hon.
or bound to suppoht a nominee
whom he has discovered to be a
Drunkard or Gambler
or man who has secured the nom-
lination by the illegal use of money
| or whiskey, nor should he feel
bound to support nominee who
has practiced gross deception up
