GOING AFTER THE SUGAR
TRUST.

At the direct instance of Gov. Hall
application has been made to the
civil district court of Orleans par
ish for an order enjoining and pro
hlDit1ng the American Sugar Rein
ing Company from doing business in
Louisiana, and praying for the ap-
polntment of a receiver for the con-
Germ.
The matter is to come up for hear
ing before Judge Edward K. Skinner
next Thursday, November S, and the
progress of the litigation will be
watched with the keenest public in
terest.
1t is the general sentiment OF the
sugar producers of Louisiana that
this monopolistic concern has been
the direct cause of much of the mis-
fortune that has been visited upon
their Industry in recent years. and
they will be glad to see it brought
to legal accounting for it's alleged IL
legal and oppressive acts.

ELECTION FORECAST.

Elections for members of congress
are to be held in all the states ex-
cept Maine next Tuesday, and While
it is generally believed there will be
a considerable reduction of the pres
ent large Democratic majority in the
national house Of representatives,
even the most sanguine Republicans
are not claiming with much conf
dence that the: gains of their party
will be sufficient to overcome the
preponderance Of Democrats in the
membership Of the next house.
Several senatorial elections of ma
tional interest will also take place,
notably in New York, Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Illinois, where three-cor-
nered contests are pending between
Democratic, Republican and Progress
siye nominees. Many speakers of
national prominence, including ex-
President Roosevelt, Secretary of
State Bryan and members of Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet, have taken
part in the campaign in these and
other states Comparatively little
change in the present political com
plexion of the senate is anticipated.
In Louisiana there are but few can
didates~ for office and still fewer con-
tests. The only Democratic nomi-
nees for congress who have opposi-
ton are those in the first, second
and third districts, where the Pro
gressives have candidates in the field,
and the best guess with reference
to these seems to be that in only
one district-the thirds there IA
vorable prospect for the new party
supporters to pull off victory. The
ProgressiVes are also running a can
didate for railroad commissioner in
the second district and one for mem
Der of the state board of equaliza-
ton in the third district, but it is
not considered that these nominees
have as good chances of success as
has Judge Martin, the Progressive
nominee for third district congress
man.
The seventeen proposed constitu-
tional amendments to be voted on
will really form the most important
part of the official ballot in Louisi-
ana and should receive more than or
binary attention, particularly in those
parishes, like Ascension, where there
are scarcely any individual candida
cies to distract or divide public SEN
timent. These amendments are all
likely to be adopted. with the pos
sible exception of No. Is.

vent the commission from proceeding
with the work for which it was form

filed in the United States district

Era Club Disbands.

The Era Club Of New Orleans, one
OF the leading Women's organizations
in that city, has voted to dissolve
and a committee composed of Miss
Jean Gordon. Mrs. John Parker and
Mrs. Il. B. Bartlette is charged with
the liquidation Of the clubs affairs.
The dissolution grew out of internal
dlssensions, aggravated and brought
to head by the defeat of a motion
to extend coincidence to President
Wilson at his Wife's death. 1t is ex-
pected that a new organization will
soon be formed to continue the mis-
sion of the Era Club as proponent
