By IDA Hustled HARPER.

The Progressive party had its first
opportunity to show its loyalty to the
woman suffrage plank in its platform
when the vote was taken in Ohio on
new constitution. Forty-two amend
ments were on the ballot, and all we're
adopted except the one for woman
auTragcl
Ohio is one Of the banner" Progress
sive states, and Mr. Roosevelt expects
to secure its electoral vote. In order
to do this a plurality of the electors
must be Progr0ssiyes, and they could
therefore have easily carried the suf-
frage amendment If all the others had
voted against it, as the vote on the
constitution was very light, only a
few hundred thousand out of more
than million who were eligible. Did
he issue any orders to this effect? Did
he say to his followers: Now, here is
our first chance to show the women
that we mean business. OF course If
we win in November we will give the
franchise to all in the United States,
but just now we can make good by
giving 1t to those in Ohio, so let every
Progressive vote for the woman suf'
frage amendment" Did he do this?
On the contrary, he completely ig-
nored the matter although he passed
through Ohio the very day of the cleo
tion.
A few days before, at st. Johnsbury,
Vt. Mr.. Roosevelt had devoted large
part of his speech to showing how
strongly he believed in the ballot for
women and how anxious he was for
them to get 1t. The question was not
an issue there or likely to be, but it
was a vital issue In Ohio, to be settled
in four days, and yet not by spoken or
written word did he show to the peo-
pie of Ohio that he knew of its ex-
istence.
Two days after the Progressive par

amendment its state convention met

NEW LAW AFFECTING SCHOOL
CHILDREN.

During the last session Of the legis-
lature an amendment to the Compuls-
DRY Educational Law was enacted,
which provides that all children be-
tween the ages of eight and fourteen
years must attend the entire session.
Prior to the passage Of this amend
ment it only required that children be-
tween these ages attend the session
for ninety days. This is step in the
of compulsory education
for Louisiana and one which should be
enforced to the strict letter Of the law.
Another amendment, which is of in
terest to the parents, as well as the
children, is that all children between
the ages of fourteen and sixteen, who
do not attend the regular session, must
be ready to prove, conclusively. that
the amount of work done outside their
homes each day must equal six hours.
The last amendment advances the
age two years and Is another great
step forward In compulsory education.

FATHER cAssAeNE TO RETURN.

The welcome news that Father ]. P.
Cassagne, now stationed at Brunswick,
Ga, will be returned to our church
here, was received with a great deal
of pleasure by his many friends.
Father Cassagne was here for five
years as assistant to Father Larkin,
and while here he made many staunch
friends who will be pleased to hear
the news. 1t was through Father Cas-
|sagne's efforts that the gardens of the
Church of the Holy Name of Mary
were given special attention, and the
little artistic dollhouse at the rear of
the church was erected by him and
many pleasant hours did he spend
there in the little nursery. Father
Cassagne, no doubt, will be surprised
to see that the beautiful palmettos that
were planted by him just before leav-
ing have become great trees, making a
shady avenue to the entrance to the
parish house.
1t was learned, yesterday, that Rev.
Father Larkin will not be transferred
for the present and that he will re-
main here as parish priest at least for
another year. This is also good news,
as Father Larkin has endeared him.

ONE DOLLAR A DAY FOR A WORK.
INGMAN.
Do You Want That Kind of a Mayor?
CLAIBORNE'S DOLLAR A DAY.

CLAIBORNE'S DOLLAR A DAY.
Charging that Charles F. Claiborne,
the League candidate for mayor, was
no friend of labor and had stood for
81 per day as days wage for sixteen
years, John Stadler. the well-known
labor advocate, sprung sensational
charges at the opening meeting of the
Regulars in Algiers last night and
proved one of the features of that big
gathering. He quoted the record from
the Picayune of Tuesday, June 16, 1896
as follows:
The finance committee met last
night at 8 o'clock, Chairman Brittin
presiding, and Messrs. Claiborne,
Kicks and Petersen present.
MIR. Claiborne said he had a CONVEX
sation with Commissioner McGary and
was informed by him that he had APP
plications from thousands of men who
said they were willing to work on the
streets at 81 day. Mr.. Claiborne said
he still believed that a large number
of people could be taken care Of at 81
day and was in favor of making the
money go further and among a greater
number of men.
"Mr. Petersen said his conclusion
was that a laboring man could not live
on 81 a day and did not approve Of
curtailing the amount they were re-
ceiving.
Mr.. Claiborne argued further, say
ing that though 81 day would not
provide Injuries, it would be the best
that could be done with large labor
roll, and many men would be glad to
earn even that much. They should be
given a chance to earn dollar; it was
better than earning nothing"
"A man who advocates cutting down
the wages of working men is no ut
person for mayor OF our great city,
which is so largely made up of and is
dependent upon the working people"
declared Mr. Stadler.
with any and all mistakes he may
have made, I'd thousand times rather
have Mayor Behrman and the Regular
Democratic organization in charge Of
our municipal government, than Chas.
F. Claiborne, who stands for dollar-a-
day wages. / charge that he advo-
Gated and advised that the working
men of this city be cut from $3.50 to
81 per day, putting more men to work
at 81 per day. This is his sixteen
years record that stands undisputed.' "
Mr.. Stadler said he had been told
by reliable authority that Mr.. Clai'
borne. when approached, expressed a
desire to be mayor and hoped he could
be, but he feared his one-dollar-a-day
labor record, which he admitted, would
defeat him.

Mayor Behrman's speech, which no

Never in the history of political
times during the past twenty years,
says one of the old-timers, has there
been such a demonstration by such a
vast crowd as gathered to show their
appreciation of the past services of
our present Mayor, and their endorse
ment of his policies which have been
so.successful during the tenure of his
Office, and which has brought to our
district many positions and improve
ments that We would not have had
were it not for Mr.. Behrman.
Long before the time of the meet
ing the Elmira Pleasure Grounds was
crowded to suffocation. So great was
the crowd that in the rear of the big
grounds the bands of music could
scarcely be heard, and, indeed, it was
an old-time jollification with every
body of the same opinion-that Mayor
Behrman was to be returned for the
third term as Mayor of our great city.
Before the meeting was called to
order. City Electrician Foster Olroyd,
who had charge of the moving pictures
and lantern slides, showed to the hun
dreds present the actual permanent
improvements that have taken place
during the past eight years under the
present Ring administration.
These pictures went further to con-
vince people than the ordinary speech
es, most of which have a stereotyped
form, but here they were shown actual
improvements and if there were many
there from Missouri, they had no
grounds for complaint, as all of the
claims of the speakers during the past
several months We're thrown upon a
canvas, which reflected actual truth.
The meeting was called to order by
E. w. Burgis, of the Grand Isle Rail-
road. Mr.. Burgis made an elegant
address and it was very much regret
ted by the hundreds in the rear of the
big grounds that he could not be heard
more distinctly, but many awaited
themselves of the opportunity of read
ing his speech in the Picayune of Tues
day morning. Mayor Behrman was in
troduced as the principal speaker of
the evening and he was loudly ap-
plauded as he came to the front of the
platform to present his claims to his
fellow-citizens why he should be re-
turned to the position which he has
so successfully filled.
When about to make his speech,
Mayor Behrman was interrupted, tenn
porarily, by thirteen little girls, all
clad in white, each carrying a beauti-
full bouquet, which was presented to
the Mayor, and his honor was visibly
affected, as he was seen to wipe the
tears from his eyes. He certainly
must have felt proud at this time to
feel that he was held in such high es-
TEEN by his neighbors and fellow-citi-
zens, especially those with whom he
grew up, the greater majority of whom
he calls by first name.
The tremendous applause which fol-
lowed this act showed plainly that the
immense crowd Joined with the Mayor
in feeling this sense of pride, in that
he has done so well for his fellowman.
