Governor Sanders WithdraWs.

After a long conference with
many of his political friends and
allies from all sections Of the
State in the city of New Orleans
last Monday, Governor Sanders
reached the wise conclusion to
withdraw from the race for the
United States Senatorship, thus
leaving Mr.. Broussard the nomi-
nee of the Democratic party.
Governor Sanders was assured Of
the warmest support by his friends
in all sections of the State, but he
felt that they had already sacri.
feed enough in his behalf and
determined to put final end
to the political turmoil. The BAN
NER thinks the Governor has
done perfectly right considering
the fact that he was SO unmerci-
fully "knifed' in the city of New
Orleans in the FIRST primary by
the very men who had pledge
him every support and for twhom
only a few months before sacri-
feed his own political fortunes;
considering also that the voters,
as a rule, would hardly shift from
their first choice now that the
Good Government League has
elected the Governor, it would
have been an idle task and a use
less waste of time, trouble and
expense to engage IN q second
strupple and continue the tur.
moil and unrest from which the
business interests of the State
suffered during the long cam.
paign now happily closed.
Few men have been so harshly
criticised as Governor Sanders.
He has been accused OF building
up during his incumbency the
strongest political machine"
ever created in the State and hav-
ing played the tyrant and broken
his pledges to the people, and
many other official misdeeds quite
as odious and repulsive; bu: be
all this criticism true or untrue, it
is nevertheless fact that with all
the power of the so.called politi-
cal "machine" he did not once
attempt to use it against his OPP
ponents or in his behalf, for mum.
bers of his appointees in the par.
ishes not only voted against him,
but did all in their power to de-
feat him. And this was notably
in the case with the ward leaders
of New Orleans. Not now, while
his opponents are flushed with the
glad tidings of victory, but later
when cooler judgments prevail,
will they be willing to concede
that Governor Sanders, as Gov
ernor, has done the State and her
people an unreasonable amount
Of good. AS loyal democrat he
will support the nominees. The
BANNER too will cheerfully abide
by the will of the people and sup
port Governor L. E. Hall.
