Speaks for Itself.

We call the attention of
our readers to the following
letter and ask them to read
it carefully. It will show
you that when Judge Martin
goes to Congress, he will not
be without friends as the
Democrats claim:
National Republican Congress

Washington. D. c., Oct. 20, 1914.
Hon. w. Fl. Price,

My Dear Sir:-Tnere.has ju at
been brought 70 my attention
through our prAes serS1ea he re.
port of the .Thif DistI10 Demo.
cratic meeting atAsw eria on
October 10Th. 80 j,
I see that a United States Sen
ator. former Senator, and others
informed the voters that 1t would
be utter folly to oppose the
Democratic candidate, under the
assumption that Representative
of any other political faith could
give them relief from the disaster
they have suffered from the
Democratic Tariff.
It was claimed that if Judge
Martin, who is the only opponent
of the Democratic candidate,
should be elected he would be
unable to assist the people who
may send him to Congress. In
answer it may be said that the
unique political situation in
Southwest Louisiana, which N akee
Judge Martin the only opponent
of the Democrats, is fully UNDER
stood here in Washington.
Within the past few weeks the
Democratic leaders have gone on1
record as stating that the farmers
of Louisiana need look for no
change in the tariff affe citing them.
The farmers of the other sections
of the country producing other
commodities are az vitality affect

weapons will clash in deadly
strife. For two months the
contest has been a battle of
words, pure words, crimina'
ting and terminating words,
sometimes useless, unpleas.
ant, unmeaning words. The
orator has grated. The po.
litical prophet has prophe-
sled.
The enemy, the Democrats,
have wasted their energy,
their eloquence, their abuse,
their perversion, to try to
convince the voters that it is
a crime for the Southern
white man to leave the Demo.

The voters have listened
patiently, but still the vital
question will come up, how
about sugar? What are you
going to do about our only
industry?
The Progressive party
answers that question truth.

Voters Urged to Support Amendment
6, Permitting Women on School
Boards.

w VIC VOsSAo VI VIC 0eoSO w CUP
port Amendment No. 6, which is
intended to change Article 2l0 OF
the Constitution so that women
might serve on school boards and
other boards of institutions of
charity and corrections. The fol-
lowing statement was issued We'd
nesday by an enthusiastic ad.
vocate of the proposition:
sin asking the voters of the
State to vote for amendment No.
9 the women are only asking to
be placed on the same plane with
the women of all the western
states and nearly all of the nor
them states. Amendment No.
is to change Article 2lO of the
State Constitution which says:
"No person shall be eligible to
any office in the State, judicial
parish, municipal or ward who is
no. a citizen of this State and a
duly qualified elcctor of the
State"
1t was not until the women of
the Era Club, tired of trying to
patch up through charity the
wrecks made by industry, asked
for a women and child labor law
and a woman factory inspector,
that it was found that Article 210
blocked every effort of the women
of this State to serve in any capa-
city whatsoever.
Thereupon started an effort to
have the Article amended and
each successive Legislature since
1904 has seen patient. weary
group of women sitting day in
and day out asking the Legisla.
tors to submit to the voters this
amendment which will give them
the right to serve on school boards
and boards Of charity where they
are serving illegally if any one
wanted to question their right to
be there.
In 1905 Article 21O was amended
to allow the State to appoint a
woman factory inspector and the
splendid results obtained in the
city of New Orleans where the
entire management of the en-
forcement of the child labor law
is under the jurisdiction of women
cannot be disputed. If there is
one place where the mothers in.
terest does center, or should if it
does not, it is in the schoolhouse,
for men may az we'll acknowledge
it that women are more interested
in the children. They get the
little ones up, dress them, fix the
lunches and start them of.
II is not mere coincidence that
Kentucky is the only Southern
State that compares at all favor
ably with the Northern and
Western States in the matter Of
education. The reason is that
women have for years had the
right to vote for school directors.
In all the Western States, where
the per centage of illiteracy is i
almost nil, the conduct of the
has been turned over al.
most entirely to the women.
Remember there is no question |
IF woman suffrage in this. No
woman can be elected to serve
lnless maj ority of the voters of
1er parish vote for her. This
does not allow the
women to vote for anything or
anybody. 1t only allows them to
Ierve on certain boards If q ma.
ority Of the voters so decide"
