Believing DR.. Aswell to be q
good Democrat, and knowing
him personally. / voted for him.
Mr.. Harper has not attacked
my platform, nor. my sincerity,
or ability to carry out its princi-
Piles. He only attempts to preju-
dice the minds of the voters
against me.
/ will say in conclusion, that
he who appeals to your preju-
dice has no merit to offer you. .
My opponent, being a wealthy
merchant, is able to carry on a
newspaper controversy, and !
hope that in the closing days of
the campaign he will not make
an attack on me which will be
too late for me to answer.
Soliciting your support on elec-
ton day. and promising that, if
you cast your ballot for me, you
will never have cause to regret
the vote you cast, I beg to re-
main, Sincerely yours,

To the Voters of the 9th Ssnatorialt
District.

1900
Colfax, La, Feb. 10, 1912.
When / entered the race for
Senator recognized that princi-
Piles and not men would form the
paramount question with the vo.
tiers, and accordingly / drafted
and published a platformin which
/ clearly expressed my attitude
on certain governmental ques-
tons.
! am deeply appreciative Of
the confidence in me and my
platform, expressed by over one
thousand ballots cast for me in
the recent Democratic primary.
Recently l read an article in
the local press in which my oppo-
ncnt makas a bid for votes. AL
though am against newspaper
controversies / feel that the vo-
tiers of this district should know
all the facts before rendering
their decision at the polls.
My opponent claims that q Sec
ond primary is q useless expense,
and then shows that he is really
opposed to it on quite another
ground. Forgetting that he had
already said that the expense
was to be considered, he confess
ed his real objection to a second
primary by stating that he had
been lead to believe by my friends
that / would be given a larger
vote than he, owing to the fact
that other officials had to be NOM
mated in Grant parish. My an
swer is. that as a Democrat /
have been taught to believe in
the voice of the people, and a
rule by a majority. The law
wisely provides for a second pri-
mary when no candidate receives
a majority. for the reason that
we live in a Democratic State
where the majority rules. My
opponent wants a minority to
rule, for such would be the case
il there was no second primary.
From the returns received the
majority did not want Mr., Harp
er to be their Senator. The ma
jority of the ballots were cast
against him. Evidently and con-
fessedly he fears the voice Of the
majority. l welcome that voice,
and / want that voice to say en-
phatically who shall represent
the district in the Senate.
l do not believe that the adj
;yantages Of a majority rule can
be calculated in dollars and cents,
for it is a principle upon which
the perpetuity Of this govern
ment rests.
Mr.. Harper says that he is q
reformer. / stand for more re-
forms than he does, and / invite
comparison of our platforms.
Mr.. Harper says that / intro
duced Michel speakers at Verda,
and with wonderful logic con-
cludes that / was a Michel man.
Here are the facts: | was in
Verda, conducting my own cam
paign, and while there I did in
troduce Mr.. Ross Breazeale, an
old friend of mine. l did this as
a matter of courtesy. But why
does not Mr.. Harper blame me
for another introduction? Does
he forget that when he came to
Colfax / introduced him? Does
that prove that l am a Harper
man? In both cases it proves
that which will meet the approx
al 81 every true Democratic
proves that, even in the heat of
q political campaign, | do not for
get to be gentlemanly and cour-
