REASONS FOR CHANGE OF PO-
LITICAL ALIGNMENT.

Under the interrogatlve title, why
Are We Progressives? the Lafourche
Comet meets with practical and eff
Elective logic the reported efEefts Of
Democratic politicians in that parish
and district to discredit the Progress
i've movement and it's leaders, to de-
ceive voters into the belief that some
disgrace attaches to a change of their
political affiliation, and to propagate
the manifestly false impression "that
the Democratic party stands for
needed protection for our industries
and should therefore be upheld and
continued in power"
The Comet cogently suggests that
intelligent voters calmly consider
these claims in the light of the his
tory of the past three years. Let
them first ask, ''Why are there any
sProgressives' in this district? Why
are we not all Democrats, just as we
were four years ago? Why did we
forsake the Democratic party after
having worked SO hard in 1912 to
elect Woodrow Wilson to the presi-
dency? Did we forsake the party just
for novelty, or for spite, for gain, or
for what we conceived to be the best
interest of ourselves, friends and fell
low citiZens?'
Palpable answers to these timely
and practical questions are thus fur
nished by our able and luminous con-
temporary, the Comet:
'The desertion from the Demo-
cratic party was prompted solely by
the reason that far-seeing Democrats
realized that they were being led on
by false economists and theorists to
certain financial ruin and final repu-
diation by an outraged populace.
They realized that if halt in the
policy Of Democratic free trade were
not called the time would come
when our industries would be too far
paralized to permit of redemption and
our labor would be so far cast down
and impoverished as to be on a level
with the pauper labor of foreign
countries.
ITO stop the downward and de-
structive trend, thinking men-men
who could have easily remained as
leaders, in the Democratic ranks-re-
solved to forsake Democracy and
champion the principles of a partys
that stands for protection-pr protec-
ton such as the revered McEnery
stood for; protection such as the
lamented Gay and Price (good DEM
ocrats) fought for; protection such
as Senator Foster voted for; protec-
ton such as Bob Broussard cham
pioned, although he was repeatedly
elected as a stalWart Democrat.
why not be honest and admit that
cannot successfully COM
pete with the imports Of foreign
countries unless we have protection,
and IL we need protection SO urgent
" as to have caused all of our Demo-
cratic senators and congressman for
years to be Democrats at home and
when vote on the tariff
came up, why should we not come out
openly and honestly, as the Progress
ives are now doing. and advocate and
vote for men who favor protection
through principle?'
