WILSON WANTS DETAILS
ABOUT PEACE TERMS

with the German proposals was CIV
en- today when il was said that de-
spite the early unfavOrable effect
which the note was expected TO have
in the allied countries through that
fact II was decided to risk it in view
OF the greater interests involved. II
is expected it may be some time be-
fore the American viewpoint will be
accepted abroad, but il is felt that
in the end it certainly will prevail
II is also stated most emphatically
that the note was not rushed off on
Monday in order TO get TO Premier
Lloyd George before he had irrevo-
cably committed the allies against
peace in his speech to parliament
Tuesday. That assumption was
foreseen but officials expect IL TO lose
weight and Importance, as the first
impressions wear off.
The early resentment in London
and Paris on the assumption that
the presidents note declared both
belligerents were fighting FOR the
same object is regarded as unwar-
ranted at the state department,
where today it was said great pains
had been taken to avoid that very
inference.
Not Wilson's Conviction.
Stress was laid on the presidents
words 20 show that he had not ex-
pressed any conviction that both
sets Of belligerents were fighting for
the same objects. On the other
hand. the language of the note. il
was pointed out, specifically said the
statesr"n of both groups Of bellig-
erents lad so stated their objects in
general terms to the people Of their
own countries Officials were graft
fed 10 see this view being pointed
out in some Of the later foreign COM
ment received today.
The phrase was written, II was
said, after study of the more recent
statements OF the belligerents rather
than the statements of the time they
entered the war Then the avowed
objects OF all the nations were more
specific. Italy for instance, coming
into the war with an official an
nouncement of what she felt neces-
sary for her future. Since then, how
ever. on all sides IT is felt a con-
stantly increasing vagueness has
been growing up which now is ex-
panding into the most nebulous
terms.
Hostility a Hopeful Sign.
General hostility to the note. both
in allied and Teutonic countries as
conveyed in news dispatches, was
regarded by officials as one OF the
most hopeful signs as II indicated
tfat the note was neutral Especial
" was the hostility in some OF the
German papers pleasing. so IL was
thought that when the allies real
lied that the plan was rot so well
come TO their enemies they would
give 10 IL more earnest and more i'm
partial consideration.

large that if none of those who vot-
ed in the primary should vote for
him, his defeat was certain, 90 he
changed his tune. and is now trying

Mr.. VOTER, BEWARE!

We wonder how many Of the vot-
ers of the State know that if they.
participated in the Democratic pri-
mary election on January 25th that
they are ineligible to hold any APP
pointive office under any other party
bat the Democratic party for four
years from the date Of the primary
election. Yet such is the law. Sec
ton ID of Act No. 1873 OF the Acts
of 1900, reads as follows:
SECTION Is. Be it further enact
ed, etc.. That no one who par
ticipates in the primary cleo
ton of any political party shall
have the right to participate
in any primary election of any
other political party with view
of nominating opposing candi-
dates; nor shall he be permitted
to sign any nomination papers
for any opposing candidate or
candidates; nor shall he be per-
mitted to be himself candi-
date in opposition to any one
nominated at or through pri-
mary election in which he took
part, nor aoithim four gears there
after shall he be capable of hold
ing an nppontive office as the
appointee of any officer not be-
longing to the political party an
chose primary election he first
took part.
This law, in the event that the
people Of Louisiana become political
apostates, and elect Mr.. Parker as
Governor, would mean that in many
of the parishes Of the State the Gov
ernor would he limited in making
his appointments to those who were
i'll or away from home on the last
primary and therefore did not vote.
A condition practically chaotic would
exist in all of the parishes of the
State where the voters are all DEM
ocrats and participated in the DEM
ocratic primary.
This, of course would be serious
condition which would confront us,
but more serious still would be the
possible effect the election of Mr..
Parker might have on the reelection
of President Wilson. The eyes OF
the Democracy OF the Nation are
upon us, and look to every Louis
lana Democrat tn do his duty.

jN0. n. PARKER WITHOUT PARTY
PRINCIPLES.

If Mr.. John M. Parker, the Pro-
gressive candidate for Governor OF
Louisiana, had any party principles,
he might appeal to the people OF
Louisiana with better grace. but he
has none. If Mr.. Parker had found,
after mature study and deliberation,
that the principles for which the
National Democratic party stands
are all wrong, and that the party
whose principles are right is the
Progressive party. then Of course Mr..
Parker would have had perfect right
to change his party utilization and
stump the State for the principles
of his adopted party, bu: this is not
the case Mr.. Parker did not leave
THE Democratic party on principle,
he did not join the Progressive or
Bull Moose party on principle.
81 gaze my aoord to Theodore
Roosevelt that If he erer called 1
,could follow. He has called. 1 am
responding. / must go. 1t aco,tld be
detrimental to your organization to
stay"
This was in statement made by
John M. Parker to the Good Gov
eminent League when he left the
League and the Democratic party
in 1912.
1t was the call of Roosevelt that
carried him into the Progressive
party and not the party and its
principles. When Roosevelt goes
hack into the Republican party, as
he surely will, Mr.. Parker will he a
Republican, because he must follow
where Roosevelt leads.
Why did Roosevelt call John M
Parker? Why was Roosevelt SO anx-
ious for John NJ. Parker, who lives
in a State overwhelmingly Demo.
cratic, to join his Progressive party?
Because he knew that John NJ. Park.
er had organized and lead the Good
Government League fight in 1912,
and won, and he was foolish enough
to believe that Parker was strong
enough and big enough to lead the
people Of Louisiana into the Pro-
gressive camp, break the Solid South,
defeat the reelection of President
Wilson, and re-elect Roosevelt to
that high Office. But the bunco
game will not work, the people Of
Louisiana will stand true to Democ-
racy. 49,
