privilege,of engaging in any business! Are not
these licenses and taxes collected? To a great
extent, yes. Then why should we be wanting
in means to carry on this government as it
ought to be? There is the rub, my friends.
Behold that herd of officers throughout the
State, who live at the public trough. Behold
those enormous fees received by our officers.
who can boast of as many officials as Louisiana.
I dare say no where are officials receiving
larger compensation for less work than in Lou
This my friends explains why all the officials
as a man are supporting the Pink Ticket. They
have implicit confidence in Pleasant; they feel
certain, Notwithstanding his declaration against
fees, that if elected, they will not be disturbed
in the enjoyment of heir fees, as in the past.
Behold that herd of useless officers, why do
they complain from the house-tops their adj
herence to the Pink Ticket? Why? Because in
the Pink Ticket they see security for them
selves, and what is the upshot of all of this? Is
il not the binding together OF the City Bosses,
its Sheriffs, and Clerks Of Court, the Bird pro-
tectors, and the Fish protectors, in one solid
body. with no other interest in the State, than
to live at its expense? Il this be SO, then where
is there any delivery from this awful state CT
affairs? The remedy lies with you. Cast aside
all manacles, rise in your manhood once for
all, and declare your independence; be free;nen,
vote for your elear-headed fellow-citizen His
integrity, his honesty and fair-dealing has won
the heart of every honest thinking man who
has come in contact with him.. His BUSINESS
capacities are of the highest order. He has
never been a follower but always a leader in
every movement which has for its object the
good Of Louisiana He is no politician, his ac-

above our obligation to the State? In other
words, are party interests, right or wrong
above State interests? Is it not the ruling moral
obligation of a good citizen so to act that the
interests of the State be best subsured? 10
sacrifice the interest Of the State to party obi
cations, is the violation of a great moral oDll-
cation. 1t is to do wrong, and there IS no sucn
thing as a moral obligation to do wrong. Yet
if is the doctrine advocated by our opponents.
They tell you if you have voted at the primary,
it is a moral obligation on your part to vote LOT
the man selected by the primary. Such a doc
trine can not hold. Our first duty, as I have
stated. is to the State. We are to look for its
interests before those of the party; and con-
tend if you believe John N. Parker's admins
tration will be of greater benefit to Louisiana
than Peasants administration, whether you
shave voted at the primary or not, it is your
SOLEMN DUTY, it is a MORAL
far outWeighing your obligation to party, to
vote for John vi. Parker. And now with the
lights before us, can any man doubt for q mo-
ment that Parker will make a better Governor
than Pleasant? AS have already said, tae
latter has so far furnished no evidence Of his
ability to administer successfully the affairs OF
the State. While on the other hand there is
not a business man in New Orleans, I dare say,
VINO Will not admlt thai J0En M. PaFReF Will
make one of the best Governors that ever
graced the Executive chair in Louisiana.
He will be the Governor of the people and for
the people. He will down the supreme power
now exercised by Robert Ewing, He will put
it beyond the power of the Bosses to fix a Pink
Ticket ninety days In advance of the primary.
He will give to Louisiana an unshackled future.
He will be a servent Of the people, not their

have no apology to offer for coming here to-
night. I have not like others deserted any post
of duty. I come not with the view of eurrying
favors for the future. I look not for prefer
ment. I come not to eringe the knee before the
ruling spirit of the political bosses OF this City
nor to bolster them against the blows admin
istered to them by our Junior Senator. Thank
heaven there is at least one Louisianian in Con-
gress who has the manhood to expose and defy
the evil influence of a coterle OF politicians
who have converted the democratic party OF
Louisiana into a body OF schemers Tor ONCE;
in a flock of vultures f~attening on the land earn
ings of the tax payers, vampires sucking the
life-blood of this state. No, an old Loulslanlan,
born in Louisiana and who has lived all his
life in Louisiana; who owes whatever honors
he receives to Louisiana; a Democrat of old
standing, whose first vote vas cast for James
Buchanan over sixty years ago, I am a~ctuated
solely by a sincere desire in my old age to do
all the good l can and as little harm as possible.
| love my native State with whose dust are
mingled the bones of many generations of my
ancestors, I glory in its fertile soil, its genial
climate, the variety of its production, its I'M
told wealth, in the bowels of the earth. Tt
should stand to-day financially, as it does in
many heavenly blessings-in the foremost rank
of the States of this Union. But in spite of its
many advantages, where do we find it today?
It's finances are in a fearful state Of depletion.
The funds necessary to support its public in
s~titutions totally wanting. The insane, like pris-
sners, in the country parishes, often incarcer-
ated in our common jails, for want of room in
eur insane asylums. And why is this? Are not
heavy taxes imposed on our property, are we
not called upon to pay good size licenses for the
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1916-04-15
Ladies Are Especially Invited

ceptance to-day OF the candidacy for governor
is due solely to his great desire to relieve the
State of the fearful political condition II which
it finds itself. Tt is a sacrifice of family and
business interests. He knows full well the ex-
ecutive chair is full of trouble, anyietIes and
heart burnings. There may be rs able, as good
men in Louisiana for the high position to
which he aspires, but none superior to John NJ.
Parker.
If any man can do it, he is the man for Gov
ernor, who will drag the State out oe the slough
of despond. He will use all his influence to put
officials on a salary commensurate with the SER
vices rendered. He will cut off and Go away
with all useless Offices, created simply for po-
litical purposes and of no benefit to the State.
He will so reduce the expenses of the State, That
there will be no danger of an increase in taxes.
He will give you a business administration
He will conduct the affairs of the State as he
conducts his own business. For fifty years or
more we have had none but Lawyers as Cover
nors of Louisiana. I have had the best oppor-
tunities of judging of the financial abilities Of
Lawyers. AS a rule they are very poor fnan-
ciers. It is a common saying: Lawyers live
well and die poor"
The Pink Ticket has at its head a lawyer; /
know nothing of his ability as a lawyer and less
of his capacities as a fnancier. It is otherwise
with Parker. Besides possessing a level head,
a fine judgment, marked honesty, integrity, and
ffrmness, he is par excellence, a business man.
Then. / say, let us entrust our destinies to
him, and | am sure we will not be disappointed.
But our opponents are prone TO sepeak Of
moral obligations. They only know of one NOR
al obligation and that is to vote the Pink Ticket.
Their school of Ethics teaches none other.
Now. my friends, is cur obligation to party

Of the worst kind, though, | suppose, tho

One cannot forget the brave stand the old
Editor took from 1900-1902 on the Sale
Question. At that time he was the most
abused man in the tow because he stuck
to his guns, although he we'll knew that the
cause he fuyonred was unpopular nmong
many III this Island. Never has Mr.. Gum
held his pence when he considered it Y5ght
to speuk-the erpediency of bis doing so
never once entering INTO his calculation
With reference to the Herald's wruthfuf

the contempt it deserves, as | shall ALWAYS

attacks which may appear in the future.
