2,OOO. 900 WOMEN'S VOTES FOR SALE?

1t is the theory OF the bosses OF the National Woman's party that
they have the votes OF 100000 women to sell to the highest bidder, says
the New York World.
1t is the theory OF Mr. Hughes that he has bought these votes for
himself by endorsing a suffrage amendment to- the Constitution OF the
United States.
In other words, Mr.. Hughes proposes that i'll order to get these votes
the Constitution OF the United States shall be put on the auchon block
and that the legislatures OF states that represent a minority Of the pop
ulaton shall regulate the suffrage in the domestic affairs OF states that
represent a majority OF the population.
We shall not discuss the political morality OF that transaction at
this time. 1t seems to differ in no way from the method by which poIti-
cal bosses secure the vice vote in certain cities and by which a Iiannaized
traffic in government
If 100000 women voters can be delivered by their petticoat bosses
through such d corrupt bargain, these women ar not fit to vote and
ought to be DISTINGUISHED. The morality Of American politics is low
enough without having it further debauched by the sale OF a sx Ell nasse

WHY LABOR is M

The discovery by Mr.. Hughes at Detroit that the American working
man is a human being would be moret thrilling if the Democratic Sixty
third congress had seen and proclaimed the fact, with President Will
sons approval, the 18th OF October, 1914.
In the Clayton amendment OF the AntiTrust1aw, which became ct
fcetfve III that date, it is written that the labor OF a human being is not a
commodity or an article of commerce. This enactmentw a made nec-
eSary by a decision Oft the supreme court OF the United States, OF which
Mr.. Hughes was a member for six years. The law has been truly called
"Labors Bill Of Rights"
When that great measure was pending, the party which Mr.. Hughes
represents did 10 Int the main feel about 1t as he does Nv. Most Of its
representatives in congress denounced the Democrats ad President Will
son TO "surrendermg' to dennagogucs. On the passage Oft the bill in
the senate only sever Republicans Il of a menbersh il OF forty-fve and
in the house only fortyonc Republicans III Of a membership OF 127
voted with the Democrats
a politician, gave lev law to every lawyer and reversed the practices Of
the highest courts. 1t may seem a little bold for the candidate of a re
dictionary party almost two year alter the fact to admit cOndescending1y
that labor is human, but Mr. Hughes has law to back him up, and the
Democrats, led by Woodrow Wilson, wrote the law.

"A CYCLONE" SAYS HELM

Representative Tom Helm, the eloquent congressman from Ala
labama, was in New York last week comforting with the Democratic
campaign managers.
They speak OF it as a DRIFT to Wilson," said Nj. Hefin. III I am
able to judge correctly, it isn't a DRIFT. Its a cyclone.
"Presdent Wilson VIII poll the solid Democratic vote and will re-
ceve the support Of more than hall of the Progressves, and he is going
to have the support Of thousands OF progressive thinking and forward
looking Republicans
president Wilson deserves to be reelected o. the record OF his ad-
minHtration. Constructive legislation, peace and prosperity enjoyed I'm

1t is a noteworthy fact that o all the wOmens names mentioned a

ticularly large delegations. St. James

ton. West Baton Rouge and st.

progressive young founder and man
ager of the famous Mccall Blue Rib
bon Live Stock Farm in this parish,
who is noted for his winning ways
as breeder of thoroughbred Duroc-

we have received the following COM
munication:
Donaldsonville. La, Oct 2s, 1916.
Jasmin Tobias, Esquire, President Vieilant
Hose Go. No. 8, Donaldsonvile, La.
Dear Slr:--Your letter of October %, ad-
dressed to Honorable Mayor Lemann and
the commission council, read at post
poned regular meeting of the council held
Wednesday. October Is. I was directed by
the honorable commissioners to state to you
and the members of your esteemed company
that as the purchase of the auto fire truck
now owned by you was sanctioned and en-
dorsed by the city with &he distinct under
standing at the time that the city would be
renewed OF expenses heretofore incurred for
morse iced and attendant the city cannot
make the appropriation sought. To grant this
appropriation would be in the nature of es-
tabhshing a quasi-paid fire department, and
OF further giving to your good company un-
far advantages over other companies COM
prislng the fire department of our city, and
the city commissioners cannot see their way
clear, or the wisdom, of doing so at this
time. Very respectfully,
A. J. MELANCON,
Clerk of the Council.
1t will be seen that our request has
been denied by our most worthy COM
mission council, much to the regret
of our self-sacrifcing organization.
Were we in position to meet this
small expense, we would gladly pro-
vide the amount we are asking from
the city to protect city property. We
wish the public to know that we hold
ourselves blameless if fire alarm is
turned in at midnight and we fail to
respond, due to the fact that we are
without the services of trained man,
such deficiency being directly attri-
butable to our city administration.
Citizens and property owners of |
Donaldsonville, it is your duty to de-
mand this needed assistance toward
the protection of your homes and
property.
Furthermore, we wish to state that |
If the fire department were paid what
is justly due it by the city, from the
fund appropriated as shown in the Of
fetal budget published each year, it !
would not be necessary for us to APP
peal for the trivial amount which the
commission council has seen fit not to
give. Respectfully,
