Senator Dixon, Mr.. Roosevelt's
third party campaign manager,
says: "Every state in the country
possibly with the exception of
South Carolina will in effect have
third state ticket. West Virginia,
California and South Dakota will
have the regular republican ma
chinery for Roosevelt"
So the plan is to take South Da-
kota republicans bodily and trans
plant them into the third party.
This is beautiful theory, but we
predict that when November rolls
around Mr.. Basford and Mr.. Suth-
erland will discover that they have
taken on a bigger job than they
can complete. About the only
thing they can hope to accomplish
is the defeat Of the republican can
didates who sanction their treach-
cry.

Gov. Deneen of Illinois has re-
fused to take part in the third
party movement in that state and
will stay by the regular republican
nominees. Charles F. Merriam,
who has been progressive leader
of that state and started out to
support the third party movement,
has refused to sign the third party
call and will return to the repub.
lican party. His reason is that he
believes the third party movement
is not in good faith but is cone
man affair" and will completely
collapse after the November elec
,ion. 1t is also stated in Wash

may soon retire as campaign man

The democrats of Beadle county
held a mass meeting last week and
passed the following resolution
Inasmuch as Hon. r. f. Petit
grew, the endorsed candidate of
the democratic party for United
States senator from South Dakota,
has declared his opposition to the
party's choice for president and
thus virtually severed his con-
nections with the party with which
he stood at the time of the pri-
maries in June, be it resolved
that:
First. We, the democrats of
Beadle county, do not owe any
political allegiance to the Hon. R..
F. Pettigrew as the party's choice
for said position.
There would appear to be some
sound logic in this resolution, and
the republicans seem to be in about
the same fix.

sentative of certain principles
The only way in which the voter
can support the republican princi-
pies is to vote for Mr.. Taft, the
only official representative Of those
principles. It is perfectly proper
that set of Roosevelt electors
should appear on the ballot to
represent whatever principles Mr..
Roosevelt may conclude to pro-
mulgate, but they can not be re-
publican electors, and have no
right to appear on that ticket any
more than they would have right
to represent the democratic, social
ist or prohibition ticket.

The Sioux Falls Press suggests
rs compromise method that the
names of both Taft and Roosevelt
be placed at the head of the repub-
lican ticket and the voters be per-
mitted to express their preference.
Then that the electors cast their
vote for the candidate receiving
the highest number of votes. By
what right should the name of
Roosevelt be placed upon the re-
publican ticket any more than the
name of La Toilette or Cummins !?
Ali were candidates before the ma
tional convention and all were de-
feated. Mr.. Taft was nominated,
and is the only candidate that
represents the republican princi-
Piles as set forth in the national
republican platform. That plat
form was passed by vote of 666
delegates, and there was not vote
cast against it. 1t must be con-
sidered as the embodiment of the
principles on which the republicans
are asking for the support of the
voters. Mr.. Roosevelt has not en-
dorsed those principles, but is pre-
pairing to run under a different
party name, and on an entirely
different set of principles. II is
supposed that every intelligent
voter casts his vote for the princi.
pies rather than for the candidate,
as the candidate is simply the
agent of the people selected to
carry out their principles as pro-
mulgated in their platform. 1t is
true that Mr.. Roosevelt received a
plurality of the popular vote in
this state at the primaries. But
he was then running as q republic
an and was supposed to be in sym.
pathy with republican principles
To support Mr.. Roosevelt as ar
advocate of republican principles
and to support him as an advocate

The Sioux City Tribune takes
the newspapers of South Dakota
to task for not following public
sentiment. It says: estates like
South Dakota which have become
overwhelmingly progressive still
have a line of standpat newspapers
that would better represent the
states of Rhode Island or Vermont.
These newspapers give the coun-
try false idea of the sentiment
among their patrons"
Is it then the mission OF the
newspaper to keep its ear to the
ground and be simply follower of
public sentiment2 All honor to
the editor who has his own con-
victions and has the manhood to
stand by them. The editor who is
always catering to every wave of
public sentiment disgraces the po-
sition that he holds. In 1896 there
was a wave of sentiment in favor
of free coinage of silver which was
endorsed at the polls in this state.
Did the Tribune follow that pro-
gressive wave of public sentiment !?
The Tribune refers to the initia-
tive and referendum, the primary
law, and the election of senator's
by popular vote as progressive
measures. The initiative and ref
erendum was adopted in this state
by the republican party long before
such thing as progressive re-
publican" faction was ever known.
Yet Gov. Vessey, who is now fol-
lowing MIR. Roosevelt's "progres-
sive" movement, says that he
would advise states that have not
adopted the initiative and referend-
um to study it carefully before
doing so, as in this state it has
not fulfilled our expectations. It
has proved to be a hipdrance rath.

0. Richards who was the father

ed. That the voter is too Of
ten compelled to cast his ballot
blind, and that we should return

of these conditions what is the poor
newspaper man who is trying to
follow public sentiment going to

by this state regardless of faction

To The Democratic Voters of the
Seventh Congressional District.

SVVCHku SVu6sVSoiouei S'ShiSe'
The general campaign Committee of
Hon. John w. Lewis respectfully SUB
mitted to the voters Of the District,
the following statement in behalf OF
Mr.. Lewis candidacy.
We call the attention of the voters
of the Seventh District to the formal
announcement OF Hon. John w. Lewis
Of St. Landry Parish for the position
OF Congressman from the Seventh
Congressional District, and which APP
pears in the various newspapers OF
the District, and we bespeak the sup
port OF the Democracy in his be-.
half.
1t is generally known that soon
after Mr.. Puj 10 made his positive
declaration that he would not be a
candidate Mr.. Lewis, in response to
calls from different parts of the Dist.
rict announced that he would run for
the place.
He was the first candidate in the
field, and began his campaign with a
substantial following from a number
of parishes in the district and es-
pecialIy from his own parish of St.
| Landry.
Mr.. Lewis was born in the city OF
ODelousas, thirty-seven years ago,
where he has always resided.
He received his academic education
IN the public schools of his native
town, and and at Centenary College
at Jackson. La. His legal education
was received in the Office of his father
Hon. Thos. H Lewis, and at the
University Of Virginia.
MIR. Lewis has been practicing law
with his father under the firm name of
Lewis and Lewis for near thirteen
years, and his success in that pro-
fesSiOn is we'll recognized throughout
the state of Louisiana.
Even before he attained his ma.
i0rity, and as early as 1896 Mr..
Lewis has been an active participant
in politics, though like his father, not
as candidate for Office.
In 1896 he was teaching school in
MamOu, st. Landry Parish, and when
the battle for White Supremacy be
gan in St. Landry he gave up his
school and joined in the movement
which terminated in the Constitutions
Convention in 1898 and the elmnat
ton OF the negro from the politics Of
the State.

We wonder why the Jennings Bar

by the voters OF the District, a larger
field for the employment OF his public
spirit and ability for usefulness for
public service.
He was the first Young Democrat Of
prominence to JOIN the Good Govern
ment League forces, ard at that
memorable conference held at the
Grunewald Hotel on Aug. p, 1911, he
sounded the KEY note OF the approach
ing campaign in the following un-
mistakable language.widelY published
at the time and which brought many
young Democrats to the support OF
the League throughout the State:
II say we want an independent I'M
trammelled Democracy. We want a
Democracy that invites aspiration
and ability, not one that smothers
and destroys them; a vibrant and
courageous Young Democracy that
will demand purity in politics and
wisdom and economy in legislation.
A Democracy that will stand erect
and self-reliant and that will not have
to crouch and cover beneath the lash
OF some political swash- buckler in
order to win place in any depart
mens Of our government: one that will
destroy every vestige of boss rule and
machine politics and bring to the
state that DESTINY which her boundless
resources, her noble women and
stalwart men have vouchsafed to her"
1t is Mr.. Lewis wish to meet his
opponents in joint and public debate
at any point, or points, in the District
that may suit their convenience and
he will welcome their attendance at
any meeting which his friends may
hold, assuring them of a courteous
hearing
He believes, and we agree with him,
that Joint discussion of the political
questions now concerning the Federal
Government, and the appearance on
the same platform of the candidates
will aid the voters in forming a judg-
ment as to which candidates they will
support.
Mr.. Lewis has nothing 10 conceal
from the voters and authorizes US to
announce that he will promptly and
cheerfuly answer any question adj
dressed to him by a voter Of the
District. His appeal for support will
be addressed directly to the in-
teIligence and patriotism OF the voters
themselves, and his hope Of winning
the confidence and support Of a suf-
ficient number Of the electors OF the
District to elect him, is what has en-
cOuraged him to become q candidate,
and is his sole reliance upon winning
the victory at the polls in this Con-
gressional election.

a misconceptions OF the Significance
OF the term Moss Backed, when re-
ferring to the ordinances recently
passed by the police jury as being
Moss Backed. This term is usually
used TO refer to something that is
slow, behind the times, or not-up to-
date, and even the Legal Lights OF

ing Lake Charles attorneys that the
said ordinances were little too
modern for even q live one like Jen-
