Mr. Rogers is a sugar planter. Mr..
Broussard is my youngest brother.
Mr.. Marks has for Is years been a
state senator and member of the
, Democratic state committee. Mr.. Price
and Mr.. Marks have quit the state
/ committee as well as the district COM
mfttee Mr. lie Blanc is member OF
the state legislature. Mr.. Peterman IS
sheriff of st. Mary's parish. They are
the active Democrats of the third dis
trict and the best organizers in that
isection of Louisiana
other Louisiana Democrats declare
that the movement for the destruction
: of the Democratic party is bound to
sweep over the state. The third dis
trict leads the revolt, it was explain
ed here today, because the Democratic
sugar tariff has caused ruin to the in
dustry in that section The rice and
lumber industries also have been hard
hit in Louisiana.
Eight months ago there were nine
| Democratic candidates for the nomi-
trict to succeed Bob Broussard and
today they are all members of the Pro-
gressive party said a Louisiana DEM
ocrat today. E. A. Pharr, sugar
planter and man of affairs. was grom-
ed for the Republican nomination
Pharr now announces that he will
not accept the nomination but will
work for the election of the Bull
Moose nominee no matter from what
party that nominee may come. 49,
The Democrats who have jumped
! the. third district congressional CON-
mittee are the best men in the dis
trict and are daily going over the dis
trict perfecting an organization. The
big landslide in the state will not come
in the congressional election in No
vember. however That will be in
1916. This fall the third district and
possibly one other district will elect
Progressive members of Congress.
That will start the ball rolling. "
I am afraid it will be a long time
before Louisiana will again be count
ed in the Democratic column in gen.
eral election. The indications are
strong that Louisiana will have the
distinction of breaking the solid
south"
The news that Mr.. Kindel, who is
wealthy manufacturer, has aban-
doned the party that sent him to Con-
gress severely jolted administration
leaders, coming as it did on the heels
OF an official announcement that a
Democratic congressional committee
in Louisiana had gone over to the Bull
Moose organization in. a body. Mr..
hindel will appear on the stump for
Republican candidates this year. Mr..
kindel already has made an engage
ment to invade Kansas in, support OF
the reelection. of Senator Joseph L.
Bristow.
oispiased With Mexican Policy.
Mr.. Kindel will begin operations
in opposition to Representative David
j. Lewis of Maryland, Democrat,
who has advised the postmaster-gen-
eral in questions relating to the par
Gel post. The Colorado representa-
tive will illustrate his address in Mr..
Lewis district and elsewhere with a
outfit in an effort to give
a pictorial representation of the ills
that he believes have visited the coun-
try since the Democrats came INTO
power.
''Mr. Kindel has abandoned the |
Democratic party because of his dis
satisfaction with the administration
Mexican policy, his disapproval of the
labor sections of the antitrust bill the /
extension of the parcel post system
and other legislation that he believes |
has been hurtful to the business in
terests of the country. General in
is the verdict of tnIs
Democrat on the Democratic admin.
stration.
" 'Presiden. Wilson may know all
aboutsthe synatax of Greek verbs, but
he does not know anything about the
practical questions that are confront
ng the American people, said Mr..
Rindel today. /
Speaking of the Mexican situation
he Colorado man said: ~
" I believe we should have cleaned
up our own affairs at home. We were I
sending troops, our troops, down to-
Mexico when We had trouble our in
ny state of Colorado which should Il
nave been settled. l do not believe
he president should have consented
% the exemption of labor unions
rom the trust laws. 1t is contrary
% the principles of our government.
labor agitators were responsible for
Ill our troubles in Colorado
"Mr. Kindel had clash with Post
Burleson over the par
eel post system. He also had a row
With the Democratic leaders of the.
House over a committee assignment.
This controversy became so heated
hat President Wilson summoned Mr..
Rindel to the White House. The.
eaders wanted to assign Mr.. Kindell
o the committe on the District Of
Columbia.
1.-THE president said the assig-
nent was. a good one and that I
should accept it. said Mr.. Kindel

would be very pleasant. replied that
