G. G. l.. in N. o. Item:
Please allow ME space In your val
liable paper to set forth some rea-
sons why l am supporting Mr.. Ferd
Claiborne for congress and why |
think the good, substantial citizenry
should do the same. | am support
ing Mr.. Claiborne because his ill.,
surgency helped to give birth TO
the wave of reformation now sweep
ing over the State. He did not wait
till he saw the reformers were go
ing to win, and then jump into the
band wagon, but was one Of the orig.
ipa reformers. am for him be-
cause he has conducted dignified
campaign and is not debauching the
towns and villages with whiskey and
nightly beer drinking. He has not
maintained costly headquarters nor
spent large sums of money for brass
bands and big shows necessitating
the twists and turns of the polite
ian to recoup his depleted exche-
Quer. l am for him because he has
convictions and the courage of them.
am for him because he has made
no promises and entered into no
combinations with professional poll
ticians and self-appointed leaders,
and has the manhood that would
compel him to resent with scorn, if
nothing worse, the propositions that
have been made in some other camps.
And lastly, am for Mr.. Claiborne
on the strength Of the claims and
statements, and logical arguments
OF Mr.. Amos l.. Ponder, during the

How Your Money Will Be Spent

Woodrow Wilson, standard bearer, has never had
the time or disposition to talk about himself.
He has used spectacular methods to place himself
in the spotlight.
His greatest work has been done without osentatlon, in
the most e&peditous dignihed manner.
The great mass OF voters do not know what really
great MN Wilson is They do know all he has done
They do understand oil the features of his platform
We r,Dst tell them.
To educate this great nation CT voters especially the
clear ;'rkng independent Democrats, Republicans and
prusc who choose their leader his merits, means
the expenditure of vast amount of money
W. propose to use your dollars in just this way
,dci"sv md without penny frittered away for an I'M
SSa'y Item.
We know you have confidence we will do this thingand
successfully.
The true Democrat. [volume] (Bayou Sara [La.]) 1892-1928, 1912-10-05
Why the Dollar Counts

In this campaign the issues lie between the forces of
Representative Government and Popular Government.
In Representative Government only part of the people
have influence those with political aith who spend
fortunes in any direction where their ends are fur
thered for money.
In Popular Government all the people have influence
because their executives and legislators do not dare to
thwart the expressed will of the people
Representative Government as ever, this year being
supported by the money of the Interests Its being spent
avshly to give the voters wrong impression Of Wilson,
Popular Government this year, to win must the
truth being told about Wilson, We publish his record
and platform broadcast so that no one can controvet it,
Your g. your 3d. your g. your $40 or $40 will count and
cunt to win if spent in this work.

JUST QUICKSILVER.

When so much is being said OF
Roosevelt at this time, nothing bet.
ter has appeared than the following
epitome of his character by the Pub
lie, Chicago;
Half Ct them think he is mounte-
bank and INSCRIPTIONS demagogua.
They are wrong. fhe other half
think he is the greatest of the
prophets and demigod. They are
wrong. It is his virtue and his fail
ing that he has a quicksilver men
taliy-that quality Of mind which alb
serbs gold wherever it touches, with
out ever assimilating it.

REAL COURAGE REQUIRED.

He was the small son of a bishop,
and his mother was teaching hiln
the meaning of courage.
"Supposing," she said, there were
twelve boys in one bedroom, and
eleven got into bed at once, while
the other knelt down to say his pray
ers, that boy would show true conr'
