SmackS of Reactionaryism

TIE Caucasian is in full accord
with the Monroe Independent in It's
criticism of the Democratic State
Central committee, in having den
led the Democracy of Louisiana to
give expression to the choice of a
Presidential candidate by primary
election.
The independent says: II is with
extreme regret and disappointment
that the Independent views the
failure of the State Democratic
Central Committee TO order a prl-
mary election for the selection OF
delegates to the National Conven-
ton. member of the National
committee. and to give ten mdlvl-
dual voters an opportunity to eX-
press their preference through the
ballot box for the party candidate
for president. This is the progress
i've idea-progressive Democracy
being adopted throughout the coun-
try in response t opopular demand,
and this committees action, to our
mind smacks of reactionarylsm.
/ To the plea that the people nave
become surfaited and tired OF pri-
maries. we must dissent. Primaries
are the result of an enforced pop
'uIar demand, and the two primaries
through which we have just passed
| showed conclusively that the people
do take an interest and that they
prize and are jealous Of their rights
and power. People do not become
surfeited with the exercise OF then
rights and powers. They know tha'

their loss. and we believe they
