KATzENBACH To
MAKE HARD FIGHT
His 81 Will Never Withdraw"
to Be Keynote of the
Campaign.
tFrom n stan Correspondent

TRENTON. y. j.. July 31.-A new
phase is beginning to make itself ap-
parent in the Democratic primary
campaign. Some new gnesses are be
ing made. With the withdrawal of
Mayor Wittpenn from the race,
great shout went up from the Fielder
camp. The Governors most ardent
friends began to slap him on the back
and tell him the fight was won and
that he was as good as nominated.
Some of them even expected Mr.. Kat
zenbach to withdraw.
But the former Trenton mayor, in
stead of rawing-instead of
thought of withdrawing-set himself
Immediately to the task of rearrang-
ing his battle-lines to meet the new
condition.
Mr.. Katzenbach's Declaration.
The day after Mayor Wittpenn
Withdrew from the race a reporter
handed Mr.. Katzenbach a telegram,
from the Evening Star, asking If he
would remain in the race. Mr.. Kat
zenbach took the telegram and wrote
in a big. fine hand. across its face,
these words:
Il shall never withdraw.
FRANK s. KATZENBACH, JR.
AS soon as the news spread over
New Jersey that the Trenton man
meant to fight to the finish, Demo-
Gratis everywhere began to recall MS
magnificent campaign of 1907 when'
on the most progressive platform ever
written in New Jersey up to that
time, he fought the then united ana
arrogant Republican party TO stand
still. The result of that battle was
practically a draw. Many there are
who believe that Mr.. Katzenbach,
with q fair count would have had
majority and that he should have
been elected.
But that is past history, and the
campaign of 1907 is recalled here only
to show what it means to the people
of New Jersey when Frank S. Katzen-
bach, ir., dons his lighting clothes.
Comments of the Press.
All this accounts for the fact that
some hasty estimates of the Demo-
cratic situation in New Jersey are be-
ing revised.
1.-THE Katzenbach boom, instead of
whiting, has been revived writes
Charles Bacon. in the Philadelphia
Record.
at will be we'll Tor Mr.. Fielder's
friends not to be too sure that he will
have walkover in the coming pri-
maries," says the Paterson Press.
1.-THE Governors supporters realize
that the Fielder sentiment throughout
New Jersey is very superficial and
may be easily swept away in night"
writes a Trenton correspondent to
string of New Jersey newspapers.
These are mere samples of express
sions that are read and heard every
where. At the same time, there is
absolute confidence at the headquar-
ters If the Katzenbach League thai
Mr.. Katzenbach will win the nominal
ton

How Can 1t Be Done?

There are able men in Louisiana who
are not politicians in any sense OF the
word. Most of them are men who are
busy with affairs not related to polItlcs,
and they seldom take an active inter-
est in political fights but if it could be
demonstrated that 1T is the duty OF
such men to respond to the call to serve
the people. we believe they would lay
aside their privahe matters and do their
duty Loyalty. OF course, such men are
not inclined to get out and take part in
a scramble for any kind of an ONCE, as
their time is too valuable to waste in
a fractional campaign. The only way
to induce such men 10 offer their SER
vices to the people is to assure them
that the people demand their services
and that there will be no bitter contest.
If such plan could be inaugurated and
carried out successfully in all the par
ishes the proposed Constitutional Con-
vention would be a representative as
semblage of the best men in the State,
and their work would stand as monu
ment to the patriotism and integrity of
the citizenship of Louisiana.
In voicing the foregoing sentiments
the News-Star assumes that every 10y
al citizen of Louisiana wants the State
debt Iiquidated, and is willing to do
what is possible to accomplish that end.
The suggestion of our Monroe
contemporary is good, but the
question is, how can we select
such men? In these latter days
of primary elections it is the fell
lows with long purses only that
receive any consideration. If
we could meet in mass meeting,
or hold in old-fashioned parish
convention, to which the respec-
tive wards sent up their repre-
sentation, there might be some
show for selecting the men de-
sired and approved for their in
tegrity and ability. But not un-
der the present system, where
only those willing to get into the
scramble and hustle for votes
have any chance of winning be-
fore the tickle populace, which
demands good men and true
when they are able to think So
berly about the matter. 1t as
sumes altogether a different
phase, however, as soon as the
campaign opens up and the pro-
fessional politicians have got in
to the pot, and then the veriest
demagogue in the land looms
quickly to the front.
