SANDERS HOLDS GREAT
MEETING IN CROWLEY
Acadla's Capital Turns Out TO Hear Leulsl-
aDa's Gifted Son Speak.
---
BIGGEST MEETINGOF CAMPAIGN
Explains His Position On Rice aud Sugar.
Favors Every white Man Voting. Meet.
Ing Enthusiastic.

Crowley, La, Jan. 8.-The
SANDERS meeting last night was
the largest of the campaign in
point of attendance. It over
flowed the opera house, and the
applause demonstrated that the
meeting was composed largely
of Sanders supporters.
His speech was a superb one,
and a great vote-getter. His
sincerity impressed himself on
his hearers, and many who had
hitherto opposed him are now
with him.
His Democracy appealed to
Democrats. 1t was clear-cut
and unmistakable.
The part of the governors
speech which was Of most inter-
est to his hearers was that in
which he defined his position On
the rice and sugar tariff. After
declaring that he is a Democrat
and in favor of a Democratic
tariff for revenue only, he said
he was unqualifedly in favor Of
a tariff on both rice and sugar,
because a tariff on these items
was entirely compatible with the
democratic doctrine and in har-
mony with the Democratic prin-
ciples. But he would vote and
work and fight for these tariffs
as a Democratic and in a
Democratic Congress, while
his opponents, having voted with
the Republicans for the Payne
Aldrich bill, would be handicap
ped in trying to get favorable
legislation in a Democratic Con-
gress. He assailed the protec-
tive tariff and declared it took
untold millions out Of the pockets
of the plain people and put it in
to the hands Of the special inter-
ests. He believed in a return to
the true Democracy, the Demo-
cracy of Jefferson and jackson.
His reference to the local re-
gistration situation in this parish
where an attempt is being made
by the Good Government League
men to disfranchise 800 or more
white men because they failed to
make out their application for
registration correctly under the
educationals clause, showed that
a majority Of the people agree
with the Governor when he said
h~esfavored every white man vot-
ing. The law was intended, said
the Governor, to disfranchise
negroes.
Governor Sanders speech in
Crowley has frightened the OPP
position considerable. It is more
than probable that he will carry
Acadia parish bya good majority.

Ten years ago, after two years hard
work in a store and by studying at
night, Mrs. Baur, then pretty Bertha
Duppler, became a stenographer. The
job was too purely mechanical for a
woman Of her genius. She enlarged
upon her work. She became secretary
to Postmaster Coyne and earned the
largest salary ever paid to a woman in
the United States postal service.
When Coyne was succeeded by Post
master Busse the latter could find no
one competent to succeed Miss Duppler
as secretary. She was secretary under
Busse and again under Postmaster
Campbell
She studied law at night and was
admitted to practice. She took up art
and has painted several notable pic

married Baur. She then wrote two
