SINKS TO SLEEP
Continued from page one

In 1896 he headed and lead the
white supremacy fight in st.
Landry Parish, when the state
militia was sent there-a strug-
gle which resulted in the calling
of the constitutional convention
of 1898, which eliminated the
negro from Louisiana politics for
all time. Judge Lewis urged
this convention upon Governor
Foster and was largely the man
that secured the call.
FATHER OF GOOD GOVERN
MENT LEAGUE.
In the early spring and early
summer of 1911, Colonel Thomas
H. Lewis mustered a handful of
prominent men IN the state and
they met at the GruneWald Hotel
in this city, with the result that
the Democratic Good Govern
ment League was born. He was
always afterward referred to as
the father Of this movement.
In the strenuous Democratic
state convention that met in
Baton Rouge in June, 1912, his
venerable figure lowered above
the throng in that convention,
he made war against the unit
rule and was one of the forces
which finally defeated it on the
floor, by a close vote. Had that
rule prevailed. Clark would have
received the Louisiana vote and
it was afterward declared that
without Louisiana standing by
him as she did, Wilson might
never have been the party NOM
inee for president of the United
States. Colonel Lewis received
some splendid tributes from
President Wilson and since his
recent illness he received a beau
tiful letter from the president,
his illness and wishing
him a speedy recovery.
There are only four instances
where Colonel Lewis headed
statewide movements, and was
largely responsible for them:
Antilottery in southwest Louis
lana in 1892; constitutional con-
vention of 1898: the Democratic
Good Government League and
breaking the unit rule resolution
in the convention of 1912.
And yet he has never held
public Office. He has invariably
declined public preferment, and
again and again he was offered
appointments, only to refuse it.
Twice, and only twice, so far as
recalled, did he waive this uni
versal rule-in 1904, during the
administration of Governor New
ton G. Blanchard, Colonel Lewis
consented to serve as a member
of the State Board Of Education,
and in 1912, at the urgent re-
quest of friends, he accepted the
honor of chairman of the Demo
cratic state central committee,
both of which are honorary and
carries no e~moluments.
Thomas FL. Lewis was born
is, 1886. at O~pelousas.
Had he lived until this coming
June he would have been rs
years of age. His devoted wife
who survived him. is "a.
OF FAMOUS FAMILY.
He was the son of Judge VIII
liam B. Lewis and the grandson
Of Judge Seth Lewis, who was
one Of the first territorial dis
trict judges after the organiza-
ton of the state, having been ap-
pointed by Governor Claiborne.
His district extended from the
Atchafalaya to the Red River.
The grandfather was also chief
justice of the Supreme Court Of
Mississippi, and his portrait now
in the hall of fame in
Miss. He was a close
personal and political friend of
Jackson, and it was
President Jackson that appoint
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1914-01-31

He was a powerful and forceful
speaker in his active days.
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN.
After the Good Government
League triumph in 1912, when
the Democratic state central
committee met for organization,
Father" Lewis was asked to
take the craftsmanship, which he
did. He has been a member of
the state Democratic state cen
trail committee, either from st.
Landry or at large. ever since
the oldest member can recall.
No one can remember when T.
III. Lewis was not a member.
He was an original Blanchard
man, and under his earnest So
licitation accepted appointment
on the State Board of Education,
in order to bring about certain
reforms in the states education
al system, which Governor
Blanchard and Superintendent of
Public Education James B. As
we'll then desired. But after a
short service, Colonel Lewis re-
signed because of his failing eye
sight.
The public generally may not
know that Colonel Lewis has not
read a newspaper or his person
al mail for upwards Of two years,
because of rapidly failing eye
sight. His son, John W., has
done all his reading for him.
Still once again, the powerful
old leader came into his own,
when the prohibition fight came
up in St. Landry, and Colonel
Lewis headed the movement
which put st. Landry in the dry
column. Since then, however,
it has become wet again.
His last notable public stand
came in the recent national Dem
ocratic campaign. He was an
original Wilson man. He talked
Wilson and urged him as the
party's nominee, and with the
usual undaunted determination,
he came down to the state con-
vention in Baton Rouge in June,
1912, as chairman of the state
central committee and as tempo
rary chairman Of that conven-
ton, bent on preventing the
convention from being swung to
Champ Clark. When the fight
finally came on the question of
whether the unit rule should pre-
vail at Baltimore, Colonel Lewis,
Robert F. Broussard, the Will
kinsons and a score of other
prominent state men led the bat
tie against adopting the unit
rule. Il was defeated on the
floor Of the convention and with
that defeat half of the delegates
were saved to Wilson from the
start.
HELPED NOMINATE WILL.
SON.
Colonel Lewis was never a
compromise man. II he believed
he was right he would fight il
out to the end. He was a man
of unbounded charity and gave
away a fortune in his fourscore
years.
All during the Good Govern
ment League campaign Of 1911
1912 the official organ of the
league, The Commoner. was is
sued by his son, John w. Lewis,
from Opelousas, and Colonel
Lewis was a contributing edi-
tor. He wrote many of the
bristling editorials that appeared
in that paper during that
notable campaign.
For fourteen years he had
been the senior member Of the

the practice of his profession,
but soon returned to Opelousas.
where he lived all the remainder
of his life. His record as a law
yer is written in the jurispru-
dence of the state. He was look
ed upon as the peer of any one in
civil law, and he had also handl-
ed many notable criminal cases
with unique distinction.
Then came the dark days Of
the Civil War, and even prior to
that he had Wooed and won the
heart of Miss Josephine Williams
of Alexandria, daughter of one
of the most aristocratic planters
of Rapides parish.
Soon after the outbreak of
that memorable struggle. Mr..
Lewis, then a promising young
lawyer, enlisted with the army
of the South and became attach
ed to the staff of General Bagby
at Alexandria as special courier,
with the rank of colonel. His
service was confined to the state,
and as the courier from the Bag
by headquarters he performed
some Of the most daring deeds Of
his entire career. After the
close of hostilities Colonel Lewis
again returned to Opelousas to
take up the practice of law. He
soon gained distinction at the
bar and became one of the most
Widely-sought councillors in that
section Of the state.
AN ANTILOTTERY LEADER.
He was a great friend of Cen
eral Francis T. Nichols and of
Governor Murphy J. Foster, be-
ing a cousin to the st. Mary exc
cutive. In 1892, when the lot
terry fight came to an issue, Col
onel Lewis sprang into that con-
test as he did into other public
affairs In which he felt there
was an issue of right and wrong.
He led the antilottery fight in
southwestern Louisiana, often
at the peril of his life. On horse
back he campaigned thai great
western empire in behalf of the
Foster conquest. and they won,
electing Murphy ]. Foster COVER
nor of the state. Coming out Of
that campaign, Colonel Lewis
could have had any Office within
the gift Of the governor, but he
refused all tenders.
Again in 1896 Colonel Lewis
came to to the front as a leader
Of state movements when he
champiened the white supremacy
cause in ST. Landry Parish with
out carrying a pistol. He had no
sense of fear. The stormy days
in st. Landry in 1896 are still
fresh in many minds. The
courthouse square was an arse :
nal of the state militia. The
lines were bitterly drawn in st.
Landry, and this desperate
resulted in calling the
Constitutional Convention of
1898, which forever eliminated
negro in Louisian politics.
E .E#E - go -
And once again, in the early
summer Of 1911 Colonel Lewis
was seen heading the scattered
few hat assembled at h Grune-
wald Hotel, from which modest
sprang the Democra-
tic Good Government League
movement in Louisiana, which
gathered force and strength I'M
til it finally found a footing in
every parish and hamlet, and re-
suited in the election of Cover
nor Luther E. Hall as governor.
At the very inception of that
movement when, as it's father,
Colonel Lewis was rendered the

of life; my sun is fast
