FRIDAY, OCTOBER Is, 1915.
PLEASANT FOR GOVERNOR.

Now that DR.. Pierson has with.
drawn from the race for the Demo.
cratic nomination for Governor, il
leaves the field clear for a test OF
strength between Attorney General
Pleasant and Lieutenant Governor
Barrel, with a clear-cut issue be-
tween them-prohibition.
1t is indeed unfortunate that Mr..
Barret, in his desire to keep from
being absolutely eliminated from
the contest, on account of his posi-
ton on the Constitutional Conven-
ton proposition, has seen fit to grab
the prohibition question by the nape
OF the neck and drag it bodily into
this contest. At the extra session
OF the Legislature, when the laws
affecting the shipment of liquor into
dry territory were passed, and every
thing done to help those sections
which had voted dry to have actual
prohibition, it was tacitly under
stood that the prohibitionists would
make no effort at this time to wage
Statewide prohibition fight, and
they 1.-THE prohibitionists) have kept
the faith, for at the meeting of the
AntiSalOOn League in Alexandria,
a few weeks ago, it was agreed that
no fight would be made ut this time,
but the Lieutenant Governor, houn-
dering around for some issue that
might gain him a few votes and en-
able him to at least make respect
able showing in the primary cleo
ton, grabbed the standard of pro-
hibition, raised it on high and called
on all true prohibitionists to follow
his lead. Now just the idea of Tom
Barrett being a prohibitionist! If
he has ever been prohibitionist,
then the people of Caddo This home)
have never discovered the fact, and
from the further fact that great
number of prohibitionists-men who
have been true to the cause for years
are supporting Mr.. Pleasant, it
looks as if his death bed conversion
is not taken seriously.
Col. Pleasant has announced that
he stands for local option with the
parish as the unit, as it is to-day, |
and thus the issue is made.
However, it is not because Barrett |
is pro and Pleasant an anti that
we have decided to lend our assist
ance to the latter candidate, but be-
cause OF the fact that the people of
this parish were almost unanimous
in their opposition to the holding of
a Constitutional Convention at this
time, and it was Mr.. Pleasant who
boldly took the stump in opposition
to the Convention and made the
fight for the people; nor did he stop
to consider the effect that it might
have on his political future.
Those of us who opposed the Con-
vention owe something to Mr.. Pleas
ant and we can best show our ap-
probation of his valuable services
by nominating him in the January

Certain newspapers of the City of
New Orleans are clamoring for a
third candidate to enter the contest
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Louisiana. Such rot
seems to us to be paving the way
for these papers--never Democratic

OF the Bull Moose leader, the Hon'l.
John M. Parker. Why not come out

New Orleans, Oct. 12.-That hogs and
cattle are taking up some of the space
heretofore dedicated exclusively to sugar
and cotton in Louisiana was demonstrate
ed last month when the remarkable herd
of Duroc Jerseys and short horn cattle
Of the Evan Mccall Farm swept every
thing before them ut the Evangeline Fair
in New Iberia, taking all first prizes and
grand champion prizes and practically all
second and third prizes at this show.
This was the first competition in which
the Mccall stock were entered this year,
and it is anticipated an unbroken record
of successes will follow wherever they 90
this fall and winter. The beautiful, his
toric Mccall sugar plantation has been
converted into one of the most modern
and up-to-date stock farms i'm the entire
South. Hogs and cattle are scientifically
bred, fed and raised with astounding re-
suits. AT the present time the Mccall stock
Is all breeding stock and none has been
sold to the market. The herd is headed
by the grand champion boar Defender"
and the cattle by the grand champion bull
"WatsOn"-two of the finest specimens
OF their kind i'm the United States to-day.
So successful has been the Mccall method
and so many prize winning hogs and cat
tie have been turned out by the Mccall
farm that the first annual auction sale
has been announced for January 5, 1916,
at Mccall, La, three miles above Dom
jacksonville. The sale will be under an
lnclosed barn and buyers from all over
the adjacent South have signifed their
intention to be present and secure blood
ed stock to head and improve their herds.
There will be genuine Louisiana sugar
cane plantation welcome and as the hos
pitality of EVAN Hall, j." the Mccall place,
is celebrated, those who attend NAV
come prepared to enjoy a novelty. The
Mccall herd now constitutes the largest,
best bred and most carefully kept in the
south as there will be large variety,
buyers will have an opportunity to make
their own selection.

BAD SAYS TAFT,
EXPIRES. Calls Plan Dangerous and
Says 1t Can't Be Enforced

National prohibition is a
dangerous proposition" said former
President William II. Taft, speaking
before the bar association of Boston
at its seventeenth triennial banquet
Monday night.
1T would revolutionize the national
government. IL would put on the
shoulders of the government the duty
of sweeping the doorsteps of every
home in the land. If national prohibit
ton legislation is passed local govern
ment would be destroyed. And if you
destroy local government you destroy
one of the things that go to make for
a healthy condition of the national
government.
National prohibition is nonenforce-
able; it is a confession on the part of
state governments of inability to con
troll and regulate their own especial
business and Quay; if the matter were
placed under fedora lcontrol it would
result in creation of a machinery of
government officials large enough to
nominate any president and would
offer too great an opportunity to per-
sons seeking to perpetuate their pow
er in Washington"
