DEMOCRATIC APPEAL
To the Democratic voters of Lou
islana:--

To the Democratic voters Of Lou
islana:--
AS Chairman of the Demo.
cractic State Central Committee,
| deem 1t important to call your
attention, briefly, to the political
conditions now existing in our
State.
In several Congressional Dis
tricts and IN the Second Railway
Commission District as well as in
: the Third Equalization District,
the Progressive Party has nomi-
mated candidates in opposition to
the regular Democratic nominees.
These latter are, in the First Con-
gressiODal District, Hon. Albert
Estopinal; In the Second Congress.
sisna', Hon Garland Dupre; In
the Third Congressional District,
Hon. Henri l.. Gueydan; In the
Second Railway Commission Dis.
trict, Hon. Shelby Taylor; and in
the Third Equalization District,
Hon. Andre nj. Martin.
In order that the prestige of
the party be maintained and the
usual majority given. it will be
necessary for every Democrat in
those districts in which the party
nominees are opposed, to do his
utmost to bring out the full Demo.
cratic vote.
The so called Party, made up,
very largely, of the dissatisfied
element within the State Demo
cratic Party, combined with the
regular Republicans, who have
always been our foes, will rally to
a man in support to their candl-
dates, and it behOOves the faith
full within our ranks to meet them
with our full vote and show TO
their leader, whom the people of
Maine, Vermont, New York and
| Pennsylvania have lately repudi-
ated, that LOuisianians are not
yet ready to sacrifice their party,
under whose precepts and princi
Piles they have lived so many
years in peace. simply because
some men wish to crafty a petty
spite by repudiating the whole
party for wrongs they think have
been committed by recent tariff
legislation. Let us, rather, try to
correct these wrongs within cur
party, whose tenure of Office bids
fair to continue for many years to
come.
Go to the polls on November
3rd, and cast your ballots for the
regular Democratic nominees, be-
cause you know they are all good
men and Will be faithful to your
interests.
Signed

BRAIsED LAMB WITH BARLEY
Particularly Appealing to Those Who
Have a Partially for Well
Served Stewed Meats.

Ingredients: Two pounds Of lamb
from shoulder, two cupfuls of pearl
barley, one small Spanish onion, one
cupful of tomatoes (cenned), salt and
pepper to taste.

meat into suitable pieces to serve, re-
moving any unsightly edges or fat.
Place a piece of suet or little but
terine in a deep skillet and as soon
as hot put in the meat and let 1t scar
quickly on all sides. AS soon as all
meat juice has been absorbed pour on
enough water to cover, then simmer
slowly for half an hour. Now stir
the barley into the liquid, cut the
onion into slices and lay on top OF
meat, then pour the tomato over.
Cover and let simmer for about two
hours. See from time to time that
barley does not settle or liquid boil
off. Toward last, season to taste, Try
not to mash the meat and barley.
When meat is tender the barley will
be soft and puffy. Serve on platter

barley and pour the tomatoes and
onions over with just enough of the
liquor to moisten. or If gravy is liked
the liquor may be thickened with lit
tie dissolved -four.
If need be, a little more hot water
may be added during the cooking.

Washington, April 22.-The war is
on.
Acting under orders from the secre-
tary of the navy to block the port of
Vera Cruz and seize the customs
house, Admiral Fletcher, in charge of
the American forces, landed marines
from the Utah, Florida and Prairie
and proceeded TO take the customs
house.
a sharp engagement between the
American and Mexican forces fol-
lowed Four American marines were
killed and 20 were wounded. Two hun
bred Mexicans were killed.
According to the report from Ad
miral Fletcher, the Mexican troops did
not oppose the landing of the marines,
but opened fire after the Americans
had taken possession of the customs
house. The Mexicans employed artil-
lery and made a desperate effort to
drive the Americans out.
U. S. S. Prairie Shells Mexicans.
Admiral Fletcher at once ordered
the Prairie to bring her big guns into
play, and from her place in the harbor
che proceeded to shell! the Mexicans
out of their position.
The Prairie was assigned to she'll the
city for the reason that she is of
lighter draft than either of the big bat
tleships and by approaching nearer to
the water front could place her shells
with greater precision.
All of this occurred while a great
gale was gathering just outside the
breakwater. The Mexican coast in the
vicinity of Vera Cruz is subject to fire.
Quent visitations of "northers," among
the most furious storms encountered
anywhere in the world. These storms
develop such violence that the customs
house and other buildings on or near
the water front are whipped with
spray. although the breakwater which
protects the city is one of the best of
its kind anywhere.
Admiral Fletcher reported that he
was holding the customs house and the
section of the city in which the Ameri-
can consulate is located. The customs
house and the consulate are within a
few blocks of each other.
