THE FOUR OBJECTIONS TO Mr..
PARKER.

There are four great and dis
tinctive objections urged by the sup
porters Of the Pleasant ticket against
the election Of John M. Parker as
governor of Louisiana, and these OBJ
jections are so well stated and SO
well answered by a contributor to
the New Orleans Times-Picayune's
Letters to the Editor" column sign
ing himself "P," that we reproduce
the contribution in full:
"After reading the speeches Of the
ring orators, stating their objections
to Mr.. Parker's candidacy, it would
appear that they lay the greatest
stress on the following points:
First: The fear Of the negro's
return to politics. Mr.. Parker is
southern-born, the son of White
Lacquer and Confederate veteran; yet
the regular party have for years
past included among it's leaders a
man northern-born who in the dark
days affiliated with the negro Re-
publican party; bat we have never
heard them, during his forty years of
office holding, express the fear that
his presence might endanger white
supremacy.
COLLECTION two Is that he can ae-
complish no reforms with a hostile
legislature, thus intimating that the
legislature they elect viii sacrifice
the states interest rather than see
Mr.. Parker's administration accom-
plish any good, just as they sacrificed
the peoples interest to embarrass the
Hall administration. Is it not well,
then, to have an unp1edged governor
to curb such pot-house politicians?
objection three: Mr.. Parker has
changed his political faith. It is
said that fools and chronic Office
holders never change their opinions.
Mr.. Parker changes his political
opinions when it is to the interest
of his state so to do, just as the late
Senator McEnery voted with the Re-
putting his states interest
before party fealty.
Objection four: Mr.. Parker is
too intimate with Mr.. Roosevelt, the
president above all presidents who
has shown himself the friend of Lou
Isiana. He did not have to be coerced
BY any Weighty national committee
man to grant our representatives a
interview. Have the
voters forgotten that day when Pres
dent Roosevelt came to see us In
our trouble, and how they were so
grateful, and eager to hear him, that
hey pressed forward endangering the
women and children, until warned by
he president to desist?"

ANCIENT HISTORY.

The Napoleonville Pioneer recent
" remarked that the prohibition IS
sue, which figured SO prominently IN
the primary campaign, had fallen
completely out of sight, and that 1T
would be for the good Of this state II
it were never made an issue. The
Chief reproduced the expression OF
sentiment and added that 1T would
be better thing il gag could be put
on the officeseekers and spellbinders
who persist in ringing the changes on
the dead and decomposed darkey DOM
nation damphoolishness. Passing
over the Pleasant Pioneers piquant
prohibition prattie, the st. Francis
Vile True Democrat takes occasion
to manifest its disapproval OF our
subsidiary comment in the following
paragraph:
ssThe Donaldsonville Chief, disre-
garding its own ancient history, refers
to the negro domination damphool-
ishness.' The use Of salliteration's
artful aid has betrayed The Chief
into inaccuracy as well as insincerity.
No one has ever claimed that there is
any danger-noW or ever-of negro
domination in Louisiana. That has
gone like the horrors OF civil war,
never to return while white men ex-
list here. But the negro in politics is
quite different thing, and would be
the natural consequence OF two strong
white parties. The negro would be
pawn used by both parties TO their
corruption and his undoing., He
would be persuaded or coerced, as oc-
casion demanded. This does not mean
domination, nor is it damphoolish-
ness.
Of course The Chief has disregard
ed its own and everybody else's an
cient history in the treatment of the
modern questions and present-day
conditions applicable to the Louisiana
campaign, because there is no tangl-
bic connection between these things;
and as to the comparative merit or
demerit Of our ALTERATION and the
True Democrats hair-splitting dis
tinction between darkey domination
and negro balance Of power, we are
content TO leave the arbitranent OF
the momentous matter to intelligent
public opinion. To the same tribunal
we submit the proposition as to
whether, in the light of what has
taken place and what now obtains in
other states, there is either sincerity
or accuracy in the True Democrats
ominous portrayal of 1.-THE natural
consequence Of two strong white
parties in this state.
It is the deep-seated conviction Of
many Of her best citizens that nothing
better could happen to Louisiana than
to have her white people divide in
political sentiment and utilization, and
to relegate the present system of one
party dictation and domination to the
scrap-heap Of ancient history

New Orleans Cor Parker, Or.

A well-known citizen of New Or
leans remarked in conversation with
friend last week, II have heard ex-
pressions from men Of all classes, in
the clubs, the street cars, the restau-
rants, the markets, on the levee, in
the workshops and almost everywhere
else, and T cannot avoid the conclu-
sion either that this town is going to
give Parker majority for governor,
or it is full Of liars" Well, we shall
see what we shall see.

1t should be said in justice to Col.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a tribe less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is waste of costly materials worth
more than a whole can of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food and its use therefore, results IN
an actual saving.

Brothers Of the Louisiana elector-
ate, the ballot box will be open to
you Tuesday. Approach it under
the sign OF pro bono publico and vote
according to the dictates Of your
conscience, remembering that the
proof of good citizenship is to sup
port the candidates best qualified to
give the state an honest, economical,
business-like administration Of its
government. The citizen who COM
soientiously performs this duty need
have no care as to what opinion Of
his action is held by political parti-
sans or anybody else.
