JUDGE Halls Appreciation.

In an address to the Democratic voters
of Louisiana issued from Monroe on Feb
ruary 1st, Judge L. E. Hall, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor of Louisiana
returns his hearty thanks to all the thous-
ands no cast their ballots for him in the
recent primary. He says:
Il deeply appreciate your confidence In
me, as man and as leader in your be-
half. l am also truly grateful to those
voters who in the hour of trial when
second primary seemed to be in sight,
came to my support and pledged to fight
for me to the finish.
"You we're pursuing the same end, but
by different route. Your prompt action
sealed the final verdict.
s'To all these again pledge my honor
that will faithfully carry out the prom
ises have made, so far as lies within my
power, and / will labor with all the force
that is in me to observe your mandates.
Il ask you also to stand by me and lend
your efforts to help me to do this great
work that lies before me. You have won
at the ballot box, and you must win all
along the line. If there is any faltering in
the work to be done at Baton Rouge, let
the voice of the people be heard in thunder
tones demanding that the control OF the
| Government shall be returned to the hands
of the citizens, and the evils which you
fought will be completely eradicated.'

John M. Parker.

John M. Parker was presented hand
some watch and chain by the people of
New Orleans for his splendid services in
behalf Of the Good Government League
Mansfield Enterprise.
In this token of esteem there is conveyed
the appreciation inexpressible of the manly
worth of the citizen who rose to an emer-
gency and through his courage and lead
ership has made possible the redemption
of the State of Louisiana from the control
and domination Of coterie Of individuals
who, .entrenched and fortified through a
vilainous and iniquitous system of boss
ism have been in control of the State for
years.
With the dethronement of this ring rule
machine, the State of Louisiana will again
rise in its splendor and it will be possible
in the future for honorable men of ability
to obtain Office without having the indorse-
ment of the machine. Without any re-
straint of feeling every citizen of Louisi-
ana should and can appropriately acclaim
all honor to John NJ. Parker, the leader of
the Good Government League of Lou
isiana-Shrerepon Caucasian.

We were in error in stating in this
column last week that Mr.. j. NJ. Scanland
of Abbeville, editor and proprietor of the
Vermiion News, would become candi-
date for Mr.. Brousaard's seat in Congress.
The paragraph should have read: "Hon.
H. L. Gueydan is candidate, and Mr.. }.
M. Scanland of the Vermilion News will
announce Judge Minor T. Gordy," instead
OF stating that all three of the gentlemen
would become candidates. As Mr.. Brous-
sard does not take his seat in Congress
until 1915, it is said he will become can
didate to succeed himself.

many of its members are yet to be named.
That certain reforms in the State admins
tration are needed is conceded by each Or
the three candidates for Governor. With
the election of Judge Hall, who is pledged
to keep hands off of the representatives
elected by the people, the enactment into
law of the measures demanded and in
dorsed by them in the recent primary is
put squarely up to the lawmakers, and
public attention should be centered upon
their acts and doings. AS far as the
proper administration of such affairs as
falls directly within the Governors prov
ince is concerned, not the slightest appre-
hension need be felt; but if the majority
or any considerable portion, of the general
assembly seeks to embarrass the Governor
or to obstruct the accomplishment of re-
forms demanded and Endorsed by the peo-
pie, the limelight will be thrown upon them
in distinctly disagreeable manner.

Their Latest Boast.

The ring politicians are boasting among
themselves that they will still control the
Senate and possibly the House; and they
are proposing to capture a few more Leg
islators in the run-off in the second pri
mary of next month, in order that they
may block all new legislation and continue
all the existing abuses-in other words,
they would like to continue Sandersism in
Louisiana and make Judge Halls Cover
norship an empty honor.
1t is needless to say to those who have
followed the election news that this hope
of theirs is doomed to bitter disappoint-
ment. The Legislature will be largely for
Hall in both houses. The ring claim OF
every man who once supported Sanders as
a supporter of the ring is hollow and with
out foundation. AS matter of fact,
nearly half the men SO classified have
already given their support to Judge Hall,
and will cordially aid in securing the leg
slation needed in Louisiana.-Ne,o Or
leans Times Democrat.
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1912-02-08

An item going the rounds of the press is
to the effect that Governor Sanders may
call the General Assembly together in extra
session for the purpose of enacting legis-
lation that will give the city OF New Or
leans an opportunity to vote the commits
sion form of Government. 1t is thought,
however, that if the Governor does call
this extra session it. will not be for this
purpose, but to order the assembly, again
elect him to the Senate, after first forcing
Senator Thornton, Senator McEnery's sue
cessor, to resign. Well, the assembly may
be Mr.. Sanders tool, in the whole cloth,
but we doubt seriously if he would have
the temerity to attempt such thing at this
time and we are convinced that the masses
of our State would not stand for it. Mr..
Broussard is now the nominee OF the
Democratic party for the 1915 term Sena-
torship and so the matter must stand.

The New State Administration
From the Lake Charles American-Press.l

From the Lake Charles Americana ress
Now that the succession of Judge L. E.
Hall to the Governorship in May is assured,
much interest will be felt in the course of
the new administration. The new Cover
nor has no personal platform of his own
and has made no personal pledges. His
promises are confined to the carrying out,
so far as may be possible, of the platform
adopted by the Good Government League
last June.
Judge Hall is fortunate in not being
saddled with such extravagant and nom
fulfillable pledges as were made to the
people four years ago, such as the pay
ment of the State debt and other moon
shine promises. AS a matter of fact, most
of the reforms demanded by the platform
he Endorsed must be enacted by the Legis-
lature. The American Press has fire.
quently pointed out during this campaign
that Judge Hall, if elected, would be
almost powerless to secure reforms de-
manded by the people without the CO.
operation of strong, sensible Legislative
body. He is not expected to club that
body into carrying out his personal views;
in fact, as We have before stated, the non
interference of the Governor with the body
elected by and directly responsible to the
people is one of the chief among the re-
forms needed.
What kind of Legislature has been
chosen has not yet been disclosed; in fact,

Our bitterest disappointment resulting
from the primary of January 23d is that
Mr.. Gueydan did not receive the nominal
ton as Lieutenant Governor of our State.
This is closely seconded by desire to see
Mr.. Pujo receive the nomination for the
1916 term Senatorship. Both of these are
excellent gentlemen, with clean records
such as are beyond reproach-and from
the very beginning of the campaign they
unselfishly gave their best effort, time and
money to the cause of the Good Govern
ment League. They have no doubt been
as much instrumental in the defeat of the
machine ring as any two men in the State
1t indeed seems a pity that they did moi
receive the rewards so justly due them.

Monuments to Francis T. Nichols.

From the St. Francisyille True Democrat
The New Orleans Picayune suggests that
a statue of Gen. Francis T. Nichols should
be placed in the Hall of Fame at Washing
ton. Each State of the Union is entitled
to have two of her famous sons thus pre-
scented there. Louisiana history presents
no worthier claimant for that high honor
than Fra ncs T. Nichols. The Legisla-
ture OF 1912 might well distinguish itself
by voting to his name and fame that high
honor.
The New Advocate suggests monu-
ment to him in the capitol grounds at
Baton Rouge, and we heartily second so
wise and appropriate plan. We further
suggest that one of the female organiza-
tons of the capital city take upthe project
as soon as practicable, calling for small
individual contributions from the men,
women and children of the State to make
up the fund necessary to provide life
size statue representing that manned but
benign figure, whose presence and whose
influence was felt in every stage OF Lou
isiana's history from 1860 to 1912. The
statue should stand where he stood to take
the oath of office (if we mistake not) on
the lawn to the north of the building, and
where tradition says statue of George
Washington stood prior to the war, but
| fell, or disappeared, through the vandalism
of Federal soldiers.
There the statue of Gen. Nichols should
stand, symbol of Louisiana manhood in
its highest type as patriot citizen, Gov
ernor and Chief Justice. Thus may his
memory have visible reminder to this anc
coming generations as an inspiration te
high endeavor, and a proof that true great
ness fails not of its reward in popular ad.
miration and reverence throughout the
ages.

1t Doesn't Cost . Cent.

It doesn't cost a single cent
To pass pretty compliment;
In happy, smiling, gracious way,
A cherry, pleasant word to say.
It doesn't cost cent to take
Things as they come, to gently make
Out of the wise Creators plan
The very, very best we can.
It doesn't cost a cent to bring
To lonely heart, sad, sorrowing,
A bit Of comfort to shut out
just for a moment gloom and doubt.
1t doesn't cost cent to clasp
A neighbours hand in friendly grasp,
To bid him feel by one warm press
The sympathy lips can't confess.
1t doesn't cost cent, my friend,
An absent brother to defend,
The stepping stones to stars above
Are little deeds Of daily love.

According to news story appearing IN
IL 1,,,,, ~ loot Satnrdav,a New Orr

According to news story appearing IN
the columns of last Saturdays New Or
leans Times-Democrat the State Game
Commission last Tuesday voted to dismiss
all the game wardens in the State because
of a lack of funds in the hands OF the COM
mission with which to pay them. The
commission is sustained on the fees OBJ
tanned through the sale of licenses to
hunters and fishermen. During the first
two years of the life OF the commission
there were ample funds for all purposes
and surplus. The plan was at tlrst falrly
we'll received and the game wardens were
apparently then active in their duties. 1t
is claimed that for some months past they
have given their attention largely to poll
tics and have neglected to enforce the pur-
chase of licenses. They were kept too
busy in their efforts to gather votes for the
two big ringster candidates to do so. 1t is
claimed that Governor Sanders has evolved
a scheme to finance the commission and 1t
NAV still run along in the same old ruts'
We have all along stood for game protec-
ton and propagation, but did not look with
favor on the present commission and Its
modus operand. There was too much
politics in the thing, and it will necessarily
die a natural death unless some Other
means of operation can be devised anc

Gueydan and Puj0.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
There will be universal regret on the
part Of the friends of good government
over the defeat in Tuesdays election OF
that gallant Creole gentleman-Mr. Henri
Gueydan-who lost the nomination for
Lieutenant Governor by the slimmest OF
majorities.
As is we'll known, Mr.. Gueydan did not
want the office of Lieutenant Governor.
He declined to become candidate when
first asked, but yielded to the requests OF
the league from the highest patriotic mo-
tives. When the appeal was made to his
patriotism and his public spirit, he accept
ed the call and gave his time, his money
and his talents to the good cause, sacrl-
fcing himself but helping to the brilliant
victory that has been won. What he did
to that end is we'll shown in his own and
neighboring parishes, and in the splendid
vote he received wherever he was known.
He comes out of the campaign unscathed,
one of the few candidates against whom
not word was said, or could be said, an
excellent campaigner, who won many
friends and the esteem Of all.
| Another of the defeated candidates made
the same patriotic campaign, and while he
also lost his battle he helped to win great
victory for the State and for the people
Hon. A. p. Pujo. Mr.. Pujo gave his allie
glance to Judge Hall and his support to
the Democratic Good Government League
at the very beginning of the campaign,
before the league had shown any strength.
He was devoted and energetic in the cam
paign, his every effort being directed to
the success of the league. 1t was true
that he was a candidate for the United
States Senate; but he always subordinated
his own candidacy to the cause of the
League. II would like to be Senator, ne
told his audience in effect, "but | recog-
nize that it is far more important to defeat
the autocratic combination of machine
and ring, to destroy this humiliating tyr
amy and restore that democracy and
independence to Louisiana which viii
allow any good man to become candidate
for Office, without permit from the ring
and submission to the hard terms de-
manded of him in return"
When the battle began it was felt tina
Mr.. Puio would take a prominent part II
it on the side of the people. He threw
himself into it heart and soul, always
taking the position that the Governorshil
came before the Senatorship, that the frs
: thing to be done was to relieve Louisian;
: from the curse of ring and machine. Hi
district stood by him in the struggle AM
gave 14,432 votes against the machine ring
candidate, the largest given by any distric
in Louisiana. Although he lost the Sena
8 torship, he won the fight he made TO
;. Louisiana; and the people will have bette
q government because OF the patriotic STAN
he and his people took and the persona
sacrifices he made in their cause. MI
Pujo deserves we'll from the friends of goo
government for these great public services
z and they will not forget what he has don
# for them.

In spite of the best efforts of the Demo-
cratic Good Government League and the
dropping of nearly $1,000 names from the
registration rolls in New Orleans, fraudu-

were wholesale election frauds in that city
during the late primary. Present indica-
tons are that there will be between 200

1t was freely predicted by the press of
