THE WHY OF THE
DEMOCRATIC GLOOM

Washington, Sept. Snow that
the Democratic primaries in the South
are over, the Democratic Congress
men are beginning to look forward to
fall elections. They are finding little
consolation. There are large chunks
of gloom these days in the Democratic
Cloak Room Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, where Democrats sit
around and tell one another the truth
about the situation back home.
The autoeratic domination of Pres
ident Wilson in forcing through legis-
iation he thought the country wanted
but, which has proven highly unpopu-
lar with the people, has added to
Democratic Encouragement. The I'M
derwood tariff has torn up business
generally. The blow at American in
terests through the canal tolls legis-
lation is another unpopular act. The
proposal TO apologize to Colombia and
pay her S25,000,000 has not set well
with the American people generally.
The breaking Of platform pledges By
the disruption Of the merit system by
providing S4,00000 to reward Domo-
cratic henchmen for political work is
another thing that has set the people
back home thinking.
The result of all this is heavy dis
affection among the Democratic ranks.
Coupled with this, is the terrific Bull
Moose slump the country over. There
has not ben a primary, bye-election,
or registration that has not shown
that the Bull Moose party has gone all
to pieces. For instance, Ohio, which
gave the head of the Progressive
Party ticket 229,327 votes two years
ago, gave Garfield, the Progressive
candidate for Governor, only 8,167 in
the primaries the other day. This is
less than one twenty-sixth of the vote
cast two years ago
The Democrats know very well the
Progressives are going back to the
Republican Party They also know
disgruntled Democrats are going to
vote where their votes will have the
greatest force That means they will
vote the Republican ticket. So it is
these facts that have thrown such
scare into the Democrats. 1t is "a
condition, not theory that con-
fronts them.
The people generally know by the
feel of things there is trouble ahead
for the Democratic party. Democrat
ic Congressman themselves have this
"hunch," but what makes it worse is
that they are now hearing from their
constituents who are writing letters
in no uncertain terms. To make it |
still worse, the Democrats in Congress
have been doing little figuring on
what actually happened two years
ago. They know many Democrats
were elected to Congress wholly |
through Republicans who voted with
the Bull Moose and also that many
other Democrats were elected by dis
satisfied Republicans who voted the
straight Democratic ticket to make
their protest more effective. But this
year the shoe is on the other foot.
Hence the gloom.
For instance, the present House of
Representatives is made up of ABS
members. OF these, 2s9 are Demo
Gratis: l29 are Republicans; Is are
Progressives; is an Independent"

ARE HIS FRIENDS

STANDING BY HIM'
President Wilson's Administration
Not Being Upheld at All Points
Washington, August 3l--For the
first year of President Wilson's admin
istration his wish and word were the
rule and law of his party. Things are
not going that way now. Congress
man Hammond, Democrat with the
prestige of three successful elections
in Republican district in Minnesota
and with all the patronage of the
President behind him, was nominated
for Governor by less t han thousand
majority over the weakest kind Of a
candidate the purpose of whose candi-
dacy was a mere protest against the
administration.
Texas Against Wilson
Texas wa another Wilson strong
hold. Texas is the home of Postmas-
ter General Burleson, the Presidents
most powerful patronage dispenser
All the power of the administration
directed by Mr.. Burleson at Washing
ton and steered on Texas soil by
Chairman Henry to whom Mr.. Wilson
himself ascribed credit for the great
part of his success at Baltimore, were
used to nominate Ball, of Houston, as
Governor. The Texans nominated
Balls rival, Ferguson, by a majority
of 10000.
Bryan Loses in Nebraska
But here's better one. William
Jennings Bryan's own state has turn
ed against him. The issue on which
Bryan was defeated was President
Wilson's appointment of Thomas D.
Jones, dummy" director Of the Inter
national Harvester Company, as presi-
dent of the new banking and currency
board. Jones was successfully oppos-
ed by United States Senator Hitch
cock, a Nebraska Democrat. The Ne
braska State convention was coming
on and it was greatly important that
the Peerless Leader be indorsed in his
own state, so orders were issued to
Charles Bryan, who always executes
the will of his brother to prevent the
endorsement of Senator Hitchcock in
the Jones matter at all hazards.
Charles Bryan got busy. But after
strenuous efforts, all he could do was
to head off an endorsement of Hitch
cock at Lincoln. All the other coun
ties in the state rallied to Hitchcock's
support and in spite of Bryan endors-
ed Hitchcok's successful opposition to
Mr. Wilson's dummy" director. The
issue was made clear that the endorse
ment Of Hitchcock was a slap right in
the face for the Wilson administra-
ton, and it looks like Bryan and the
took the slap.
The action in Nebraska is regarded |
of great political Importance because
it was the Peerless Leaders state
whose detection led by Bryan at Bati-
more, paved the way for Wilson's
Nebraska has been di-
vided in its allegiance between Bryan
and Wilson on the one hand, and Sen
ator Hitchcock on the other. Hitch
cock supported Champ Clark. In view
IF the fight that Mr.. Clark will make
on Wilson in 1916, developments in
Bryan's state are regarded as highly
significant.

DOINGS OF THE POLICE
JURY.

The Police Jury last Thursday,
held it's regular monthly meeting
and as usual devoted it's attention
principally to road questions.
Agonst the most important mat
ters taken up, was the digging OF
a canal to drain the Courage
swamp, just west Of the corporate
limits of New Iberia, into Bayou
Teche. This swamp has ever been
a source of trouble and has re-
peatedly caused mud holes to
form near the Frisco. closing the
Segura road to traffic and as the
new road leading out Of Main
Street is to cross this swamp, it
was deemed advisable to drain it
rather than essay to build the
road above the line Of saturation.
Other roads and drainage schemes
from every section Of the Parish
were discussed and provisions
made for early improvements.
The Secretary made a financial
statement showing the Parish to
be in good condition although the
expenditures exceed the budget
somewhat. The outstanding in
debtedness however has been re-
duced and road machinery and
implements acquired which will
help to work the roads more
economically hereafter. The FL
Lance Committee Were instruct
ed to borrow 100000 to re:-im-
burse amounts borrowed from the
Bond issue for general purposes
The committee however, decided
TO await the election Of the Fiscal
Agency next month before ne
gotiating the loan. The gentle
men Of the Jury are all WORKING
N harmony for the advancement
Of the Parish interests and arc
meeting with success due their
efforts.

70 THE LOUISIANA COTTON
PLANTERS.

Baton Rouge, La, May g.
From present indications and re.
ports, there will be an early and
a heavy emergence Of the boil
weevil from their winter quar-
tiers. This would not cause un-
necessary or undue discourage
ment to the farmers.
A heavy early emergence OF the
Weevil is easier to control than
a late gradual one. With heavy
early emergence, the fight on the
weevil can be concentrated into a
shorter period and can be won
while the cotton is still small.
Remember that the successful con-
81 of the weevil means an in
: .ensive fight to prevent the over
wintered weevil from raising the
first brood in the cotton squares.
Therefor, the earlier that the
overwintered weevil emerge, the
easier the control as the cotton is
small and the squares are scarce.
The life Of the overwintered wee
vii after emergence is compare
lively short, being about fifteen
days.
In 1909, there was the heaviest
infestation of weevil ever known
IN the State. The emergence was
heavy and early. According to
the records Of the State Crop
Port Commission, 1924 per cent
of the surviving weevil had
emerged from winter quarters OF
June 10th Of that year. While
the cotton crop Of the State fol
1909 was the smalles on record
1t was caused by the farmers eth
er becoming panic-strickened ant
blowing up their cotton or refus
ing to follow demonstration me

ATTEMPT AT ARSON.

The large brick building of Mr..
Leopold Levy of New Orleans, oc-
cupied by Mr.. Jules Landry as Il
restaurant and saloon at the cor
ner of Main and Bridge Streets
came very near being destroyed
by fire last Friday night due to
an attempt at arson. 1t was not
many hours after the attempt was
made that Mayor Fontelleu got
into touch with the State Fire
Marshal's Office at New Orleans
and had one Of their deputies on
the scene making an investiga-
ton. though no arrest has yet
been made, there being no clue 50
as to run down the culprlt. Had
the building not been as near fire
proof as it was. there would I'M
doubtedlv have been disastrous
confederation in New Iberia. 1t
was only the next morning when
Mr.. Landry opened his doors.
preparatory to the days business
when the attempt at arson was
discovered, though the fire had
smouldered all during the night
burning into charcoal about fit
teen feet Of the heavy rafters Ill
the attic which had been
thoroughly saturated with coal
oil, in fact not less than two gal
Ions had been spread over the
heavy timbers in about the middle
CT the structure. An entrance
had been made through one OF
the back windows and from that
large step ladder had been
placed at man hole in one Of
the back rooms by which the ar
sonist went into the attic. Had
the fire been started nearer the
large ventilation screen in the
rear Of the building it is more
than probable that the attempt
would have been successful.
From all observation the purpose
was to start the flames where it
could not be reached at all by
water should it be discovered, the
culprit never realizing that it
would shoulder and 90 out, I'M
doubtedly feeling satisfied the
qrantity of oil was sufficient to
accomplish the deed. The ware
house of Mr.. Landry was also
coated with oil in order to make
certain of good job once the fire
would get under Roadway. 1t is
sincerely hoped that a clue will
develop that will ultimately lead
to the arrest and conviction of
the right parties who attempted
to commit such a crime.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ORGANIZATION.

AS per call of the organization
committee, several dozen citl-
zens responded last Thursday
evening for the purpose of Or
ganizing a commercial organlza-
ton that should ultimately result
in accomplishing much good for
New Iberia. While the attend
ance was not near so large as 1T
should have been considering the
publicity given, yet the meeting
was an enthusiastic one and we
believe the organization will ul-
timately have a large member
ship. The meeting was called to
order by the temporary chairman
Mr. Fontelieu with Mr.. Millard
acting as secretary, who read the
charter proposed by the commit
tee on organization and it was
