TIRE PROGRESSIVE PARTY.

The Republican party is dead
In the State Of Louisiana as far as
being . recognized political orga-
nization. It has been entirely
eupplanted by the Progressive
Party. This is the result of the
action OF the State Senate on last
Tuesday in receding from its
amendments to the bills, intro
duced by Mr.. Generally of New
Orleans, in the House, which bills
recognize the Progressive Party in
placip9 the names of its candi-
dates on the ticket and having
commissioners and clerks at the
polls.
For years the Democratic party
has had things political in this
State it's own way. Since the yea1
1895, It has virtually had no op.
position in Louisiana whose
strength was worth considering
The only fights they have had
aimee then were factional fights
which were ended when the pri'
mary nominations were made.
But now the Democratic party has
an enemy In the field which it is
forced to consider seriously "a
militant, thoroughly organized.
persistent party. 1t is not based
upon idle sentiment. It is not
composed of mere place.hunters,
seeking official pref-rment and
gain; but grea! and fair principles
underly its organization. its lead"
ere and the rank and file of it's
supporters are actuated by the
enqbling influence of correct prin.
clp1es, It is q party of protection
and opportunities for all-not that
marrow and selfish protection
which the reactionaries give to
the rich and powerful alone at the
expense of those not 80 favorably
situated; but it proposes to give.
and It will give to all an equal
show and assistance In life's
struggles, political, social, agri.
Icultural, and in the field of busi-
|ness endeavor.
We believe the principles of the
Progressive party appeal strongly
Ito the interests of Louisiana. The
Democratic party within the past
lye1r has destroyed the great agri-
|cuAuIal interest of this State
without reason and without cause.
b not natural for the people,
thus suffering, to cling to the
hand that smite them. The tocsin
Of revolt has sounded in earnest
the vast majority of the people of
the Parish of St. Mary, at least,
haye allied themselves perma-
3Qty with the Progressive party.

Without Greasy Drugs-Harmless, But Darkens So Naturally
 No One Can Tell.

When the hair turns gray, streaked with gray white or faded, thin or fall ing, get from any reliable pharmacy a 7-oz. bottle of "Q-Ban." On retiring rub Q-Ban on your hair and scalp, like a shampoo. The gray disappears, the hair is beautifully darkened. and another application or two of Q-Ban and your hair becomes fluffy, glossy, luXuriant, and radiant with fair health. Dandruff is gone and the hair has stopped falling. Q-Ban promotes the growth of thin or brittle hair. Your hair is your charm. An applica- tion-o two of Q-Ban will enhance it's beauty a thousandfold Q-Ban is not sticky or messy-harmless, but de- lightful to use and sure to beautifully darken gray hair. Q-Ban does this so naturally no one can tell. It is an old, thoroughly tested preparation. You can't make mistake in using Q-Ban, as it does the hair and scalp good at any time. w. L.. Eewoody.
