ALREADY DEMOCRATIC.

Those who take council Of prudence
ways that are well tried, will hesitate
to change horses while crossing q
stream should vote the democrat
ic presidential ticket.
For it should be borne in mind that
the government of the country is at
this moment mainly in the hands OF
the democratic party
Consider the following significant
facts:
First-Twenty-si of the As
state governments have democratic
chief executive.
Second-If all the members of all
the forty-eight legislatures were to
meet together to elect a president, the
democrats would be in the majority
by about two hundred.
Third-If the presidential election
were intrusted to council of the
mayors Of the 120 principal cities,
there would be seventy-three demo-
Gratis in that body and only forty
seven republicans.
1t is evident from such facts that
American political society is demo-
cratic at the base-where the people
live. If our society is for the mo-
ment republican at the pinnacle, that
is because the people have not yet
been completely successful in Great
ing a government at Washington that
represents the power that tills the
fields and bulbs the cities.
The democrats have achieved an
overwhelming majority in the house
of representatives (227 to 161) be-
cause the house of Representatives is
the particular branch of the federal
government most amenable to the
popular electorate and to the instincts
of its prosperity.
The republicans still hold the pres
idency and the senate because those
are the two places of power in the
United States that have hitherto been
most amenable to monopolistic in
fluence and the black magic of secret
campaign funds.
Thus the election of Woodrow Will
son will mean simply that the politi
cal forces that are already dominant
in the bulk of our governmental sys-
tenn, have at last swept away the OBJ
structions that have. slowed the pulse
of public welfare and enfeebled the
social circulation. For the election of
a democratic president will no doubt
carry with it the characterization Of
the senate.
In doing this we shall not change
horses: we shall merely knock the

hibited, when with calm determina-
ton, he rose superior To the bosses
local and national. There is nothing
in Ihis present affiliations, or his
past relations which requires explain
alton or eXtenuation. He would not
resort to unworthy means even to ad-
vance most worthy ends. He was
nominated by the people in spite o.
the vested interests to prevent his Sc
lection. His campaign is being con-
Quoted so as to avert the possibility
of entangling alliances. He stands
now-and would stand as president
pledged only to the American people.
The progressive movement re-
quires, however, for success not only
leader, but followers; and not only
followers at the polls but co-opera-
ton in congress. Progressive meas
ures cannot be enacted unless a ma
jority of the house and senate are in
accord with the president. AS Gov
ernor Wilson truly said:
Politics now, at least, is intensely
practical and real. We cannot afford
to wait another four years. The pro-
cesses of reform in this country must
take place within the next four years.
If the leader of the third party is
made president what will be his sit
uation? Does anybody suppose he
will have a third party congress be-
hind him? 1t is not inevitable that
in such an event there will be in
congress such a mixture of elements
and groups and coteries that the
president cannot possibly get any pro-
gram whatever put through"
Whatever may be the need of
new party in particular states, the
cause of progress nationally and the
whole progressive movement, will be
most advanced by the election of Gov
ernor Wilson as president.

FULLfLOVE'S REPORT.
IL Is Criticised by a Non Resident OF
Observation-Disclosures Has Con
vinced Himself That Prohibition Is
a Failure-But He Is Satisfied
with the Failures of the Vagrancy,
Automobile and Gambling Laws.
TO The Caucasian

In private conversation and in
public address ] have been arguing
that prohibition is good thing for
Louisiana. In proof of this | have
pointed to the dry parishes of the
State, and, with special pride and
confidence, | have cited Shreveport
and Cadd0. | am telling the people
that Shreveport is very we'll pleased
with prohibition. This morning ]
am asked: What are you going to
do about Judge Fuililove's state
ment?" | have but recently met
Judge FulIiloye, but my impression
is that he is honest. The judge has
convinced himself thst it is his duty
TO say that prohibition is failure
in Shreveport: but | find great
many of the we'll informed citizens
who do not agree with the judge on
this point. They rather believe what
he said in his annual report to the
Mayor and Council last January.
That report is interesting; some ex-
tracts from it are given here. He
makes special mention of the va
grancy law, the automobile law, the
gambling law and the prohibition
law.
Stunning up he says: 'You will see
that the usual percentage of convic-
lions in cases tried is about 66 per
cent, but when this rule is applied
to the yiOlatOrs of the prohibition
law, we find that we are able to Sc
cure convictions in about 80 per
cent of the cases tried in this court. "
Now follow these words: in the
matter of enforcing the gambling
laws it is just as difficult" The va
grancy law, the automobile law, the
prohibition law and the gambling
law are said by the judge to be hard
to enforce.
He has publicly said that our
liquor law is a failure; I trust he
will also tell us that our vagrancy
| law, automobile and gambling laws
are failures.
But more interesting is the follow
ing from Judge Fullilove's report:
'In spite of the difficulties with
which we have had to contend
there is decided improvement in the
conditions of this city.
sThe general order and peace OF
Shreveport is better than it has ever
been before.
| "There has been less drunken
ness than heretofore and fewer
| breaches of the peace.
| Conditions are immeasurably bet
ter than before and the general ten
dency is toward improvement"
/ Ny opinion is that the prohibition
/ people of Shreveport believe tina
the report" more nearly states thu
facts than the statement"
| The judge closes his report b.
| pIedging himself to policy o
| drastic law enforcement and calls OF
| all good citizens to stand by him.
/ If he fuIfills his pledge and al
| others who wish prohibition to sue
| ceed do their whole duty will haN,
| no reason to modify my statement
with reference to prohibition AM
lprosperity.
