WHY PARKER SHOULD BE
ELECTED GOVERNOR.
By Frank E. Powell, Representa-.
tive in the House from Beau
regard Parish.

John M. Parker should be cleo.
ted Governor, in order to save the
Democratic party in Louisiana.
In spite of Mr.. Parker's having
recently been a Progressive, that
statement contains nothing of
paradox. Indeed. those who seek
the substance and ignore the sha-
, dow, who adhere to enduring
principles as reject mere names,
who worship truth and kneel not
to symbols, will find it wholly
worthy of acceptance.
In these enlightened days, no
impure thin, can long endure, no
matter what it calls itself: and.

What is Democrat? Is he one

that men should be oppressed
