Ward Bosses In Bad

The necessity, the material and
the occasion are al! at hand for the
making of good constitution for
Louisiana. 1t depends upon the
class of men who are selected as
delegates, as to whether the work
will be we'll done, and it rests with
the people to select the men. The
present outlook for the New Orleans
delegation. spells absolute defeat tor
the convention; the country parishes
will not stand for time servers and
ward bosses, as delegates to the
Constitutional Convention. There
is already a we'll founded distrust
among the country people, OF New
Orleans ring. The ward bosses are
in bad" Their conduct in the last
gubernatoriaI! and senatorial cleo
tons was bad-whoIly bad. 1t was
a continual succession Of plots, de-
tections, stratasems, faction and
treachery. Every tongue was utter
ing celsure, every eye was search
inc for fault and every nose was
seeming scandal. Should the blood
giving and life preserving organic
law of Louisiana be left to the mercy
of this gang? God forbid !-Frank'

Do We Want A Convention -?

The cost OF the constitutional
convention with its accompanying
elections will be about $15O,OOO.
The state treasury for the fiscal
year is already 100000 in the hole.
Will the new constitution be worth
Sl5O,000 to the people of the State?
Will it be worth anything to them?
Will a new constitution help you
get a job when you are out of work?
Will your wages be increased under
a new constitution? Will a new
constitution make it easier for you
to earn living? Will a new con-
stitution be Of any benefit to any,
one, except possibly the lawyers
who will have the satisfaction of
pulling II to pieces. ana the courts
that declare it Unconstitutional!
Why Go we want a constitutional
convention? II new constitution
will not help the workers to make a
living why do they want to pay
$l5O,OOO for one? These are some
of the questions the working man
should think about before he votes
to hold constitutional convention.

Lake Arthur Herald.
Will A New One Be Better L?

We would like to know before
hand if it were possible to find out,
Mhether a majority of the lawyers
and judges OF Louisiana really
think a new constitution necessary.
AS viewed by the press generally it
seems to be taken for granted that
the demand for a constitutional
convention is voiced by the MAORI
ty, and that it will not be voted
down. Presuming that such is the
case the next question is whether
a new constitution will be any bet
ter than the old one, either for the
lawyer or for the people, We seri-
ously doubt if a constitution made
in haste will be as good as the
patched up one, under which we
now live. To rush a hundred or
more delegates to certain place and
expect them to rewrite the state
constitution within 50 days, and
cure all the present one seems out
of season. -Bastrop Enterprise.

Agrees With NJ. Thomas

Hon. L. F. Thomas, speaker OF the
house. is ont with an explanation OF
his position on the constitutional
convention, which is too lengthy
for the columns Of the Herald. We
agree with MIR. Thomas that con-
vention is unnecessary, and will
only throw an extra burden Of TAXA

ed to learn that Mr.. Thomas has
taken the stump against it. VIII a

crops the farmers will raise? Will
they receive better prices for what
they produce? viii it prevent

do the farmers want a constitutional

Ninety Per Cent Against 1t

We are satisfied that we voice the
sentiments of at least ninety per
cent or more OF this parish, when
we say that we oppose the holding
of a Constitutional Convention, that
we fear that the Convention will be
more of a political mass meeting
than a Constitutional Convention,
and that the relief and reforms in
the Constitution which the people
hope to secure will not be forthcom'
ins. We fear there will be too much
wire pulling and too many efforts
made to advance the interest Of
this or that candidate. We fear
that the public school system, which
has made such rapid and wonderful
advancement and improvement in
the past few years, will be hamper
ed in its further PROCESS by those
who have fads or hobbies which
they wish to see written into the
gigantic law.
We fear that our over-burdened.
tax-riddened people will be further
taxed, and we fear that office hold
ers will be increased instead Of re-
duced. -Tensas Gazette.

In announcing as a candidate for
the Constitutional Convention from
this Parish, wish to be frank with
the voters of the Parish and propose
to let them know where | stand on
the questions that may come up be-
tore this Convention if it be ordered
by the votes of the people.
In the very beginning I wish it
understood that l am of the opinion
that the Constitutional Convention
should not be called and when the
General election of August 3lst is
held, l propose to vote against the
Constitutional Convention whether
l have been nominated by the
Democrats of this Parish or not, be-
cause know that this Convention
will cost the people of this State a
great deal of money, some having
estimated it to cost as much as
$2OO,0OO.00, and this is too much
money to spend during these hard
times. For these reasons am op-
posed to the calling of any Constitu-
tional Convention.
If one, however, is called by the
vote of the people, submit that if
am nominated and elected to the
Convention, that | will oppose in
every way in my power any increase
OF taxes, as believe that we are
paying enough taxes now. am
opposed to the liquor interests and
the Ward Bosses of New Orleans
) having the controlling say in oul
State politics and will do whatever
can in the Convention against thi.
combination.

Will 1t Die A5sEnin -?

The voters have every. reason to
believe that the proposed Const-
tutional Convention will be defeated
by an overwhelming majority.
Elsewhere we print excerpts from
many of the leading country papers
of Louisiana bearing upon the sub
ject of the convention. If we are
to assume that the press is repre-
sentative of the sentiment of its
respective communities, then 1T
looks very much like a singing de-
feat awaits the convention call.
Never before have we observed
locally so little interest manifested
in proposition of this kind. Those
interviewed simply smile and ex.
press the opinion that the conven-
ton is useless at this time.
OF course New Orleans, is making
a game fight to stem the tide OF
country opposition. The press Of
the city, observing the tendency Of
the country parishes to line up al
most solidly against the convention
are using columns of space en-
deavoring to plaster over tn
wrinkled places.
Read the excerpts found on ou
last PAGE and thus gain an idea o
the opposition to the proposed con
vention.
Our prediction is that the con
vention will die abOrnin har'
death, though popular. Florid
