mothers, wives, sisters and sweet
hearts are relegated one degree lower
than negro roustabouts.
Nor was this accident. It was in
tent. It was the deliberate deed of
ONE MAN. Many amendments were
before the voters in this same cleo
ton on November 5, 1913.
The highest vote cast for any
amendment was 1875; the lowest
cast for any amendment was 14,125;
the vote AGAINST the suffrage
amendment was 14,552. Despotism
spoke, and its voice flung Louisiana
back half century. For the will of
ONE MAN had been substituted for
the thought, the judgment, the free
intelligence of all the people. Cal
igula nor Louis XIV ever welded
such arbitrary, absolute, autOcratic
power, nor yielded it so meanly.
If this intention of democracy" is
not sufficient, let me point to the re-
cent occurrence of this ONE NAN
sending HIS personal representative
to Monroe to deliver to HIS chosen
candidate for gubernatorial honors
the electorate of New Orleans!
What hope have you, or has any
other man, in such state of things?
Is there room for any independence
of thought or freedom of action?
Could you aspire to be constable or
to catch the city's dogs without this
ONE MANS stamp of approval? Is
this democracy? Is New Orleans part
of a republic? Have we so far lost
the landmarks of Adams, Hamilton,
Jay, Marshall and Jefferson, that we
believe that this is government by the
people? Are you willing that it shall
continue?
The fundamental and essential diff
ference between a republic and an
autocracy is precisely that between
government as it exists in New Or
leans today and government by the
people themselves. This possible dis
tinction, however, remains-one
might consent to live, nay, one might
pursue and obtain happiness, under
the benevolent despotism of Ma
poleon; but under the rule of petty
ignorance and opera bouffe misman-
agement with which we are cursed

Hospital condition" while locked up

are stifled at the outset by seeing
servility and acquiescence take the
place of work and intelligence.
1t was possible for the consulate

duces ratcatchers and an otherwise
colossal variegated and animated pay
roland nothing else.
The candidate of our unbenevolent
despot may be all that his friends
claim of him, but it is not, to my
mind, a question of his candidacy at
ALT is larger, broader, more vital
matter; one that affects your hearts,
your conscience and your lives-it is
this:
CAN CIVIL LIBERTY SURVIVE
AT THE SIDE OF IGNORANT DES-
POTISM?
Can it be, after five years Of strug-
gle, against junker ambitions and au-
tocratic aims, that part of the world
known as Louisiana is to pass under
the yoke of a despotism just as real?
l can not believe it. 1t is incon-
ceivable; it is unthinable, that the
AMERICANISM in the YOUNG
MEN OF LOUISIANA will permit
them to forget sacred traditions of
freedom
Civil liberty viii not die, nor will
