dent and Wade Martin for Congress.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) RENE II. HIMEL.
Franklin, La, Oct. "a, 1916.
Progressive Headquarters, Thibo-
daux, La:
Gentlemen-1 wrote you some time
ago that l would support and vote for
Judge w. p. Martin for Congress. |
feel compelled to withdraw that decla-
ration, and to notify you that shall
vote for Woodrow Wilson for Presi-
dent and Wade Martin for Congress.
l joined the Progressive Party few
years ago in good faith, believing
that the Progressive Party had come
to stay and believing, also, that the
Democratic Party. after the inaugu-
ration of Woodrow Wilson, had
abandoned its life long principle of a
tariff for revenue, as embodied in the
party declarations and platforms,
and had embarked upon the ruinous
course of free trade.
I've all know that the Progressive
Party is politically dead, and we have
the spectacle of its nominee for Vice
President advocating the election of
Woodrow Wilson for President. We
also know that the Democratic Party
has abandoned its free trade tend
encies.
Even though l realized some time
since that the Progressive Party was
no longer an issue in American poll
tics, | decided to remain affiliated
with it, because l felt that in common
justice, Judge Martin should be re-
turned to Congress.
Il must say that | believe that it is
impossible to build up Republican
Party in the State of Louisiana at this
time; and that, even if it could be
done, | could not join the Republican
Party even though believed in pro-
lection. because | do not believe in
the high protection theories of the Re-
publican Party. which permit few to
enrich themselves at the expense Of
the many.
1--WE always cortended in this Dis
trict that we were not Republicans,
and were not affiliated with the Re-
publican Party.
1.-The illegal and unwarranted &C
ton of the Congressional Committee
Vi tIlc L MY SOuSlcSSAOudl AASN NV VI
the Progressive Party of yesterday,
in adopting resolutions endorsing the
candidacy of Judge Charles +. Hughes
for President compels me to sever my
connection completely and absolutely
with what remains of the Progressive
Party in the State of Louisiana l
say that the action of the Committee
was illegal and unwarranted, because
it took snap judgment on the Progress
sives of the Third District, who, be-
lieve, are opposed to the endorsement
of the candidacy of Judge Hughes;
and the Progressive convention, which
was lately held in New Orleans with
ME ardent concurrence OF every dele
ste from the Third District, positive
" refused to endorse the candidacy
of Judge Hughes.
Il cannot understand what prompt
ed the adoption of the resolution by
the Congressional Committee, unless
it WAS done in an effort to induce the
Repr5l, Can nominee to withdraw, and
to give Nome practical politicians in
the Third District a chance to get
federal office in the event that Judge
Hughes is elected: but | for one can
not ratify the action of the Committee,
and must refuse to abide thereby.
Yours very truly,
fSicne,N RENE II. HIMEL."

Advice of Senators Desired.

Senator Walsh of Montana and pos
sibly other senators are expected to be
selected by Mr.. Mccormick as members
of the campaign committee, so that it
will have their advice particularly re-
earding the senatorial fight
The plans being perfected by demo-
cratic leaders are largely without prec-
edent. because this will be the first
presidential campaign in which one
third of the membership of the Senate
is UP for election. In other presiden-
tial years when senators were elected
by state legislatures. senatorial cam
paigns have been left TO the congress
EIOnal committee, always dominated by
the House, but containing on its mem
bership list a few senators. Democratic
senators believe the congressional COM
nlittee now should be left free to de-
vote all its energies 10 the election of
members Of the House.
