Democratic parties for their Short
comngs in ,he past and eNtolled the
virtues OF Theodore Roosevelt the
leader OF the "red bandana" forces.
Mr., Macdonald presided as chair
man and in lensthy Introductory ad-
dress. scored the Republican party ana
the Democratic party, touching upon
The bossism of the past and claiming
that both parties are controlled by the
trusts and corporations. and that the
latter are now switching their SUPPORT
from Taft to Wilson, because they
realize that Tafts cause is lost and
they feel assured that they have moth
ms to fear from a Wilson adminis-
tration.
Mr.. Macdonald touched upon the ad-
dress of Woodbridge y. Ferris. Demo-
cratic candidate for governor and
charged that he evadcd issues of the
campaign and comment upon the Dem
ocratic platform. because he personally
cannot bring himself to endorse that
platform. lie asserted that Mr.. Fer
ris delivered an old time" campaign
speech. full Of sarcasm and dealt in
generalit es. which were neither TO the
point nor satisfying.
Mr. Macdonald defended George w
Perkins. the friend of Roosevelt, and
whose association with the Progressive
cause has brought forth much criti-
cism. He stated that Perkins volun-
tarily retired from a business assO-
citation with j. Pierpont Morgan which
was yielding Perkins millions yearly
in order that he might take up the
study of political ana economic ques-
tions. that Perkins endorsement Of the
Progressive cause is because he be-

never held public Office and did not
aspire to hold such office, and conse-
Quently was not a sore head" Before
he completed his address, how ever. his

.It was a great convention
said Mr.. Berthelot. I have beer
to several, but nothing equallet
what I witnessed and participated
in at Baltimore.
In order to please Governor
Hall, I voted for Speaker CLARK
until the twenty-fourth ballot.
Everyone in Baltimore knew ther
that there was absolutely no hope
for him and / went to my first anc
real preference, Governor Wilson,
whom the people Of my district
preferred.
Three delegates had preceded
me in leaving the speaker.
think a fine ticket has been
nominated and that we will win.
National Committeeman Ewing
worked like a Trojan throughout
the convention and was one Of the
strong men on the Wilson side. -
Mr.. Berthelot visited Washing
ton, 40 miles distant from Balti-
more, making the trip in one hour
over the electric line, which he
says offers a clean and cool ride.
The parks in Baltimore seven
in number are grand and pic
turesque. The arbor is also very
attractive. Nothing there, Mr..
Berthelot asserts, can equal sur
pass Canal Street in New Orleans.
Baltimore Street divides the
North ahd South sections of the
city.
Game and salt water delicacies
were enjoyed. The nights were
cool necessitating covering to in
sure comfort. Hotel accommoda-
tons were at q premium, as high
as ten dollars being charged for

ure, helped to secure recognition

Dear Editor,
The undersigned members Of the
House Of Representatives desire TO take
this method Of complimenting the el.
ectorate OF st. John the Baptist Parish
upon their good judgment in selecting
that noble champion OF Woman's Rights,
the Honorable Paul N. Bossier, to re-
present this in the Legislative Halls OF
theri State.
The reason for this expression ofsenti-
aent on our part is because Of the fact
that yesterday, in the House, the Honor
able Mr.. Bossier delivered himself OF .
very neat speech in favor Of the bin by
Mr.. Msnion allowing women on School
Boards.
At the time. the house was fairly
crowded with the fair sex and Mr.. Boasier
paid glowing tribute to the women Of
Lonisiana and in the course OF his re-
marks stated that he was in favor Of al.
lowing women on the school boards a.
It was evident that the women OF Louisia-
na were more capable Of looking after
the interests Of the little ones than the
men folks, and . the women Of Louisia-
NJ had always stood BY the Men OF
Louisiana, he thought that il was no
moro than fair and right that the men
should now for once stand BY the ladies,
and Ae then cast his vots IN favor Of the
blu amid the applause Of his colleagues.
Tho people Of ST. John should feel
proud Of thsir representative and 70 say
that Mr.. Bonier has commanded him.
ssif 70 the good grace Of the fair sex
would BE- putting it mild.
May St John Parish have the good
fortune to continue tho Honorable Mr..
Bossier IN tho Office he 90 ably fills, Tor
many years.
Yours Truly.
