SANDERS SURE TO- WIN

DEELECTION of Gov ]. Y Sanders isceItaln NOT only
N his friends and supporters concede that ne WIN p
elected bv an immense majority but those opposing MN
and they are few-admit that his opponent Ihdue q
serious mistake in coming out against SO strong man a.
this time. con
~ whose LOYALTY and patriotism toward the admlnlstra-
on has heen so manifesty displayed should nave Deeh
put to the trouble of campaign Wnlle not LOT once
questioning the loyalty of Representative AsWel aIo
Wilson Dupre ct al we dare say that the work Oh Coh-
Oressan Sanders during his term in congress VIII com
pare favorably with the accomplishments OF hese ge
men WHY then should congressman Deen Iofceo 70
enter campaign at all! surrey, ne slo t Tho
compmented by opposition at all just the same as Tue
unopposed representatives of other Louisiana dslcS
There is a strong belief among great many that
few Chronic ckers could not stand tne lued u 1dl
ers returning to Washington without the knowledge that
he had to put up hard fight to retain hlsseat thes
opinions are correct those responsible for sucn cono
ton are not as patriotic as they might be-
All this hub-bub about Sanders IS going TO DE snow
ed ndern and that he is political trckster smacks OF
envousness and gives fellow bad case OF collc DOUBT
less it emanates from some unsuccessful candidate, or
some discounted fellow who in the halcyon days OF Gov
ernor Sanders held soft berth under his appointment
It can hardly be disputed that the opposition to him In
Tangpahoa parish is confined to that element VINO were
fed right out of his hand When unable now 10 ease up
against the pie counter and lift another choice cut OF pie
they are asking for his retirement. Smiling the hand
that fed them and lifted than from an obscure position
into the reserved arena of political preference
ChivalrOus! Yes, chivalrOus!!
If we are not iserably mistaken this scattering OPP
position will utterly fail in their undertaking. Undoubt
edly they will have to uncover much faster material than
is now evident against the old Warhorse of Louisiana
politics
Would his retirement be justifiable?
Congressman Sanders has made the district repre-
sentative to be proud Of The indicator is not alone in
this assumption Twohirds of the papers in the district
and many outside of the srct-declare that he IS one
of the ablest sent from this State In many years lie
has stood close the President since entering Congress
He has advocated every measure in support of war poll
ces He has safeguarded the interests of his constituency
Then why consider trading him for an inexperienced
man?
The sixth district would be taking hazardous
chance to even consider such proposition.
Had Sanders played the role of Vardaman, then his
retirement would have been in order But he has not diff
fered with the administration single war issue and
therefore his reelection is due him by the voters of the
sixth district His defeat would mean, in sense, that the
people do not appreciate his stand in the present crisis
There's hardly any need to discuss further the mani
fold why Congressman Sanders should be sent
back to Washington They are SO palpaply plain that
six-year-old boy can see.-Hammond indicator
