People See Nothing ButMor-
gan in Second Primary,
Those Who Got on the Bump
Cart Hunt Band Wagon.
Ponder Declares HimselfM
Supporter of Morgan.
Women as Well as Men Or
ganizing for the Fight.

The supporters of Mr.. Morgan are
now busy with matters of the sec
ond primary. Mr.. Morgan mas
shown that he is a winner. He has
given us a repetition of his success
full political campaigns. He has
never made a failure. He will not
fail this time. This is the sentiment
expressed everywhere. A few peo'
ple were fooled in the last primary
when the band wagon went around
They were told that Mr.. Morgan had
no chance among the old-time poll
ticians; that they had better jump
on the band wagon. A very fe"
who wanted to ride on the band
wagon were fooled into jumping on
but instead of the band wagon it
proved to be the rubbish cart, and
they were left in the dump. They
can not be fooled again. This time
they will look for the name NOR
GAM" and the brand of the "Pure
Band Wagon" under the latest en-
actment of the people for protection
against spurious article. 1t is guar
anteed to be safe.
Tuesday evening there was meet
ing at the court house by the citi-
zens for the purpose of bringing out
as strong a. vote as possible. Dur
ing the entire discussion no fear was
expressed that Mr.. Morgan would
lose any votes in the second pri-
mary. The object was to secure a
heavier poll than in the first pri-
mary, which means that Mr.. Morgan
will have more votes in this parish
to Offset any votes that Mr.. Clai-
borne may get elsewhere.
The women of St. Tammany par
ish have, organized for the purpose
of enlisting the women all over the
district in the cause of Mr.. Morgan
They have perfected thorough sys-
tenn of attaining their object, and
the high moral standing of Mr.. Nor
gan will no doubt bring him the sup.
port of women all over the district
who admire those traits of character
which have won respect for him
from all people who know him, and
which have made him a valuable
citizen of St. Tammany parish.
Promises of support are coming
to Mr.. Morgan from oll sections OF
the district and MIR Ponder has pub.
licly announced his intention o1
throwing his support to him. New
Orleans Papers publish the follow.
ing report in regard to the matter:
Amos L. Ponder, of Tangipahoa
who was third in the recent pri
mary as candidate for Congress.
man, will support Lewis L. Morgan
of st. Tammany.
When asked in regard to the re-
port that he would support Mr.. Nor.
gan, he said:
''Yes, l will support Mr.. Morgan
for the reason that the Sixth Con
gEessional District has the creates,
diversity of interests and the most
vital interest to the State, and being
deeply interested in the trucking in
dustry myself, believe that Mr.
Morgan is much the safer and un
doubtedly the steadier man of the
two. arrived at this conclusion
after consultation with many of my
friends throughout the district, an(
after mature reflection, because
disliked to take any decided stanG
between these two gentlemen. fol
whom l have high personal esteem
Notwithstanding we have just gone
through heated campaign. l don'1
believe that any man ought to bs
actuated by piQue or spite in cast
ing his ballot, but do believe tina,
the ballot ought to be cast for the
man that best safeguards our in
terests."
