Judge George Wear

In today's issue of The Watch
man is the announcement of
Judge Wear as a candidate from
Caldwell Parish to the constitu-
tionaI convention. Judge Wear
is we'll qualified to represent the
parish and have friends who
will give him their support.
The Waterman has the very
highest esteem for Judge Wear
and hold nothing against him,
but, as in common with a good
ly number of our readers was
very much surprised at the dec
laration of Judge Wear to be-
come a candidate for delegate
to the constitutional convention.
The fact that he presides over
the Thirtieth Judicial District
Court caused the suggestion to
occur in the minds of many of
US, that possibly under the law,
the Judge would be Ineligible TO
membership in the convention,
or at least that if he would be
elected and should serve in that
capacity, the question of wheth-
err he had thereby vacated his
office Of District Judge might
have to be judicialy determined.
But independently of this feature
Of the matter, the question: arises,
how will the Judge be able to
discharge the duties of a dele
gate in the convention, and hold
the regular terms of his court at
the same time? That he will
have to neglect the one or the
other is inevitable which will
he do?

G. P. 'Thornhill

Elsewhere will be found the
announcement of Hon. {. +.
Thornhill as a candidate for del
egate from Caldwell Parish to
the proposed constitutional con-
vention CT Louisiana, subject to
the action of the Democratic
primary.
Mr.. Thornhili is eminently
qualified to fill the duties which
will devOlve upon him as a mem
Der of this body, and we COM
mend his candidacy to the tav-
orable consideration of the
voters.
At the solicitation of many
friends, who have the best IN
terests of our section at heart,
Mr.. ThornhiII has consented to
become a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination. He is an
able lawyer and stands high in
his profession. He is vigorous
and active and is well qualified
to represent US. Having served
THIS parish as District Attorney
for a long time, and represent
ed Caldwell Parish at the con-
stituti0nal convention held in
1913, and the satisfaction he
mas given as a true representa-
tive of the rights Of the common
PEOPLE. are reasons enough for
the enthusiasm shown by those
who know him best, in support
ing his candidacy for this posi-
ton as delegate from this parish.
Mr.. Thornhill understands
the needs of the state and the
many intricate problems which
the constitutional convention
will be called upon to deal with
from a lega! standpoint, and will
therefore be enabled to render
the state and Caldwell Parish
in particular, valuable service
on the floor Of the convention.
AS previously stated, The Watch
man endorses Mr.. Thornhill's
candidacy, for it thinks he is
the right man for the place, and
is confident the majority of the
people Of the parish are of the
same opinion.

vert some benighted friend who
mas been almost purSuaded to
vote with the political leeches.
We deny that the state gov
eminent is on the verge of a f.
nancial collapse although there
has been objectionable eXtravi-
gances INDUCED in by those to
whom the administration of the
states affairs have been entrust
ed; and we deny that the only
means or way of escape from
this alleged financial collapse is
through a constitutional conven-
ton. But if it is the only way,
we cannot hope that the class
of men whom the politicians
now propose to send to the con-
vention will provide the means
of escape. If the state is to 60
down in civic and financial dis
grace, it will be just as we'll to
60 down under the constitution
of 1898 as under that of 1916
intact it is a little better, for in
that event we will save a hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars
to take down with US. A con-
stitltional convention should not
be place and an occasion for
the flocking of a foul stymphal-
ian birds of politics who in their
internal orgies look alone to the
filling of their crops (craws)
with the spoils which they fitch
from a stricken and misguided
people.
Men and brethren, the one
thing that you must do to be
saved is to defeat the call for a
constitutional convention. But
in order that you may not fall
among thieves in case a conven-
ton is voted, select men whom
you know to be honest and able,
and vote for and elect them,
regardless OF whether they
belong to yolr own political
! household or not.

Its Fate is in Doubt


al convention forced its way
through the late extra session OF
the Louis. ana Legislature IN the
face of considerable bitter oppo-
sition. but at this early state CT
the campaign ior the election OF
delegates to that convention,
many of the strong advocates
of the convention who believed
or effected to believe that that
alone could give ne state relief
from the many difficulties that
beset the government, are wax
ing up to the fact that they have
builded their hopes too high,
they are now ready to embrace
that Shaksperian doctrine which
says: 1T is better to endure
the ills which we have here than
to fly to those we know not of. .
Some time ago We asked the
advocates of a new constitution
what assurance they could give
the people that the framing of
a new constitution would be
placed in the hands of others
than selfish and scheming poll
ticians, but they did not cain to
answer US, and it is we'll that
they did not, for now they
are expressing very grave fears
that a majority Of the delegates
which the politicians will select
and be able to foist upon the
people, will not only be incom-
petent to frame a new organic
law that will meet the needs and
requirements of the state, but
they even express the fear that
they will purposely frame such
an instrument as will Cypress
the great mass of the people for
the benefit of a favored few.
These fears appear to be we'll
grounded, for in the cities and
political centers of the state,
the candidates who have been
selected and who seem to have
the best chance of being elected
are so totally unfit for the task
of framing a modern and, credi-
table constitution, that tide CT
opposition is beginning to sweep
the cities and political centers
of the state with such overpoW-
ering force that the political
lieutenants and heelers must re-
tire from the combat or suffer
Meat. 1t is evident that they
Vii not retire, for when a band
Vit sees that he is about to be
captured, he fights the more
desperately; therefore it be-
hooves the citizens of the state
whose vital interests are at
stake to determine now whether
they can survive such an organic
law as is likely to be framed by
that class of men who are aspir-
ing to represent the cities and
large centers Of population and
wealth throughout the state,
and who by reason of their pill
ancy in the hands of grafters,
bosses and heelers, appear to
have the best chance of being
elected, and if they believe that
they can not survive it, or that
it is better to hang on to the
present constitution rather than
take chances on such survival,
they ought to gather now, every
bit of the patriotic energy that
possesses their souls, and not
only go to the polls themselves
and cast their ballots against
the calling of a constitutional
convention, but they ought to
see to it that their honest neigh
bors leave off their civic and do
mestic duties for one day and go
to the polls and not only cast
their own votes in opposition,

action on the part of the governor will
be of interest in all parts of the state,
for the killing of the postoffice inspec-
tor created a great sensation, and was
"a topic for statewide discussion.
Inspector Fitzgerald was shot by
Sorsby because he told Sorsby, assist.
ant postmaster at Clinton, that he
would do his duty in reporting to the
postoffice department a shortage in
Sorsbys accounts. Sorsby, it is said,
went to the depot with the inspector,
and when the train rolled in asked him
if he could not avoid reporting the
shortage. When the inspector told
him that he had to do his duty ard
make it known to the higher officials
in the postoffice service Sorsby pulled
a pistol and shot him to death.

A petition for the pardon of Sorsby

pardon, but he is unmoyed in his de-

The unalterable position of Gov.
