A MIllER's POSITION
crowley Signal. J

w. z. Trotter, manager Of the Lake
Charles Rice Mill, who is spending New
Years Day in Crowley with friends,
when asked by Signal representative as
TO his views on rice situation, said:
"Unless something happens to the rice
market, more than can see at present,
the mills generally over the rice belt win
make more clear money this year than
they have for number of years, and the
farmer will also come out ahead, except
where the bad weather caught him I'M
prepared. / am heartily in favor Of the
Southern Rice Growers Association; and
believe that it is not only responsible for
the stability of the rice market of to-day,
but | also wish TO go on record with the
opinion that without strong growers
association there will be no money in the
rice business for anybody, whether farm
err or miller. II il fact that the Asso-
citation has put minimum value on rice
that makes it possible for mill to go
ahead and buy its rice on which to run
without the fear that some irresponsible
will write "bear" letter and knock, the
price down 80 cents on the bag.
"Don't get it into your head that the
miller who knows his business is not
friend of the Southern Rice Growers As
ISOLATION for he understands better thar
the farmer himself as evidenced by the
stocks we are carrying that it is the sal
walton of the business, so long as 1t i
run on its present conservative lines.
the association only contracts 10 per cen
of the crop, it is still good proposition
and hope the farmers of the three state
will give the Southern Rice Growers As
ISOLATION enough OF their rice to sell f
enable the association absolutely to fl
the price of rough"

Letter From Nj. RansdsII.

New Orleans, La, Jan. 16, 1912.
The Tensas Gazette,
st. Joseph, La.
Dear Gazette-Pease convey to your
readers my regrets at being unable to
visit Tensas during the present campaign.
Tell them had to omit from my timer
airy nine parishes in my. own district,
and four in Southern Louisiana. OF
course know that can count on the solid
support of Tensas, and shall feel disap-
pointed if there are any votes cast against
me in the parish. The situation improves
every day, and / never felt more san
guine of victory in my life. Friends who
were uneasy about New Orleans some
time ago are becoming convinced that /
am all right here.
Excuse haste, and believe me,
Sincerely your friend,
JOS. E. RANSDELL.

RANspELL SILL UP N FRONT.

Ex-Governor Blanchard has very
high opinion OF Congressman Joseph E.
ARansdeIl, and very properly 50, because
louisiana has never had a more useful
and enetgetic member of Congress than
he has proven himself to be. Ever at his
post of duty, he allows nothing affecting
the interest of his State, his section MOI
the Mississippi River TO escape his atten-
ton and close scrutiny.
Ex-Governor blanchard very cordially
and truthiuIly says, '"rhe masses of the
people are not satisfied with Senator Fos-
ter's career in the Senate. He has been
there now eleven years, and has shown
no qualities OF leadership that have
brought him to the font"
Continuing the interview Mr.. Blanch-
ard remarked:
''Ransdell has always, in years when
he was not candidate, as well as years
when he was candidate, kept in close
touch, not only with the people of his
Congressional district, but with the peo-
Pile in other parts Of the State. He is a
speaker of fine ability, an indomitable
worker, and is a man Who does things.
He will be hard IRON in the Senate, il
elected. In him North Louisiana is pre-
senting an admirable candidate"
Senator Foster himself must seei the
handwriting on toe wall, and realize the
futiIity of his canvass, but like most 9TH
er politicians usually do, he will hold a
"stifi upper lip until Che voters tell him
TO 'sgo way back and sit down."

To the Voters OF the 10Th Senatorial Dis
trict:
Dear Sirs-Replying in brief to the
Hon. Geo. H. Clinton's e6usion in the
Gazette of the 18th, will say: When the
Fifth District Drainage Bill' was pre-
sented to the Representatives from this
district, called in conference in the
Speakers room, ! protested against the
introduction of this bill ia the House
until it should have first been submitted
to the taxpayers for their approval, Mr.:
Clinton TO the contrary, Notwithstanding:
The matter was submitted and every one
knows the result.
Mr.. Clinton asserts that ] SIT quietly
in my seat, as always did," Did the
Hon. Mr.. Clinton find me Sitting quiet.
ly in my seat when he rushed back and
tried to sit me down to prevent me from
speaking against the bill to increase the
SherifFs salary ON the plea that it twas
an administration measured
Did he find me ''sitting quietly in my
seat'' when. assisted in working against
the twin bin for increasing the Assessor
salary, which opposition was SO effective
as to demand the counting of two votes
in favor of it that were not in the House
at the time, to carry the bill?
1t is true that did not not "spurt
and blow on every and all occasions,
but had the enurage, il not my esteemed
opponents ability, to speak my mind
whenever thought the taxpayers inter
est demanded, without first having tC
consult any body. 1 think my record

PLANS BOOM FOR
SMITH MEMORIAL
District Florist Will Urge Society
To Adopt the
Idea.

William F. GUIDE, the florist, is in high
hopes that the Society OF American
Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists,
which convenes in Chicago tomorrow,
will lend a strong hand to the move
ment started here a month ago to erect
a national home for florists and horti-
Culturists in honor of the late William
Robertson Smith, superintendent of the
National Botanic Garden.
Mr.. GUIDE leaves for Chicago this
afternoon and will be accompanied by
several other local florists. He will not
ask the society to appropriate any
money toward the erection of such a
home. He simply will ask each indi-
Vidual member to give his or her aid
and support in such an enGeaVor.
For years the late Mr. Smith advo-
Gated the erection of a national home
for florists and horticulturists in this
city, but did not live to zee his wishes
come true.
1t Is believed that once the movement
is given national start that Congress
will be willing to appropriate a fair
sized sum to so toward the erection of
such q building,
David GrilIbortzer, of Alexandria, and
president of the Washington Florists
Club; Ernest F. GUIDE, Frank II. Kra-
mer, George II. Cook, and Adolphus
Guide will be among the local florists
