orado, warmly championed the cause
Of free sugar in the senate. He is up

fight it out with Martin on this ques-
ton. Moreover Martin has been

garding labor than Thomas.
/ The Issue in Louisiana.
OF course, free sugar is a burning
issue in Louisiana. This is made plain
! by the fact that prominent Democrats
| in that state are going over openly to
the Bull Moose The feeling among
the Louisiana Democrats on the sub
| ject of free sugar is such that Pro-
gressive party leaders are doing what
they can to induce Colonel Roosevelt
to go to Louisiana and shout there
aloud for the Bull Moose They think
the call of this leader of the herd
would result in something like STAN
pede toward the third party in Lou
isiana.
II cannot yet be considered a GER
tainty that the country will see free
sugar in 1916. The opponents of it,
at any rate, are going to make fight
in Congress to prevent it. They will
argue that the treasury cannot afford
to lose the revenue, amounting to
between $50.000,000 and $4,000, 900,
annually. They will appeal to the
Democrats on that ground.

IL louisiana continues to line up in
the Democratic column. -"
President Wilson cannot well recede
from his position in favor of free
sugar. Should 1t appear that there
was serious need for the revenue on
sugar. however, he might consent to
a postpOnement of the effective date
and thus throw the issue over into
the next admin istration.
