Candidate for the Democratic NOM
inatiOn as United States Senator
1913 Term-Hold Fast to That
Which Is Good.

1t is with pleasurable deliberatiOn
that the candidacy Of Congressman
Joseph E. Ransdell for the Demo-
cratic nomination as United States
senator for the term beginning 1913
| is presented to the readers of the
Caucasian for favorable considcra-
ton.
AS has been said by Frank A. Dan
Iiel, New Orleans citizen of promi-
hence, who was the leader of the
"Home Rule" fight in 1904: Mr.
Ransdell, who has served the State
so faithfully at Washington, is wor-
thy of the support he is seeking"
This logical conclusion is being
reached by the great majority of the
Democrats of the State who vote
and carry the elections. . .1...~g. =:
Congressman RansdeIl has always
been a leader and not follower in
practical action and in doing things
which have proven to be beneficial
to the people and to his State.
He is not machine man, nor has
he ever been, and he is not fsHnipng
for political thrift, His. Democracy
has been endorsed fstteningly by
Champ Clark and other distirf-
guished leaders OF Democracy in the
CONGRESS- OF the United States,
| He has been an active renPesen-
tative of the people. He is, one 7of
the people and stands for the people.
In Congress he is highly esteemed
as a gentleman and a progressive,
and through him Louisiana has been
well advertised by several, Of his
speeches, the most important being
THE Southland" THE Glories. of
Louisiana" THE Undrainedf Empire
of the South" and "On to Dixie.n If
he had done nothing more: these
lectures would commend him for
| the most favorable of recognition by
the people of the State, but his re-
|cord is livened with good things as
Icomplished.

AswelPs Heart Bleeding for the Con-
federate Veterans.

Bossier:: Mr.. Aswell and the Vet
Grams! BAIL His heart bleeds for
them! Well. we don't think so. We
have just heard the story of his put
ting negro in the place of the man
of-all-work at the State Normal
when the white man became ill. 1t
was supposed that the negro was
given the place temporarily. Finally
the white man died and Confeder-
ate Veteran named A. L. Plummer
applied for the place but he didn't
get it. The negro was permitted to
keep it. Mr.. Aswell's heart wasn't
bleeding for this old x-Confederate
soldier then, but it is now. Mr.. Vet
eran, the great peoples CANDIDATE
the man Of the hour would appre-
ciate your vote. BY way of showing
his gratitude his heart is even now
bleeding for you, and after becom-
ing governor he will no doubt make
each of you a present of forty acres
Of land and mule. Believe us.

ducts. He was chairman of the
finance committee Of the National
Democratic Congressional Commit
tee in the campaign Of 1910, which
gave big majority in the House
and paved the way for a glorious
Democratic victory in 1912
Mr.. Ransdell was a lawyer in Iu-
crative practice when elected to
Congress. but he immediately gave
up his profession and has devoted
himself TO legislative duties and oc-
casional supervision Of his planting
interests. He is a practical agricul-
turlst in sympathy with all wise leg
lslatiOn to promote agriculture and
close student Of the subject.
Mr.. Ransdell secured from Con-
sress the first appropriation to
eradicate Texas fever-so fatal to
our southern cattie-and the great
work thus begun has been very sue
cessful. He conducted a hog and
hominy tour in his district in 1909,
aided by several scientists; aroused
great interest in animal industry and
diversified agriculture, especially
hogs and corn as one of the best
means Of fighting the boil weeyil,
and at many meetings during his
tour the Louisiana Legislature was
memorialized to; establish a hog
cholera serum station, which has
since been done.
"Mr. Ransdell. has been member
of the rivers and harbors committees
for ten years, and has national
reputation as an expert on water
way legislation. He, reorganized the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress six years ago, and has since
been its official head, lecturing on
waterways from one end of the
country to the other. This organiza-
tion has induced Congress to adopt
a comprehensive, liberal policy of
waterway Improvement, in order to
increase transportation facilities and
cheaper freights--one Of the wisest
pieces of craftsmanship ever enact
ed. Louisiana levees and water
courses have received full recogni-
ton under this beneficent policy.
INF. Ransdell is man of tireless
energy-sometimes called 'glutton
for work He is watchful of every
interest of Louisiana; has spoken in
Congress in her behalf on quaran-
tine, education, good roads, rural
free delivery of mail, the isthmian
canal, the tariff, Ievee, waterways,
and other topics; and if elected to
the Senate will be faithful in all
things" "
The Caucasian would add: And if
the people want man who will rep
resent them as they should be, they
will direct their influence and will
cast their votes for Joseph E. Rams
dell at the Democratic primary cleo
ton on Tuesday, January %.
