New Orleans, La, Oct. 4, 1919.
Gov. R. G. Pleasant, Baton Rouge, La
Dear Sir: You removal the Dock
Board, of which l was president. on
September 22nd Although through
out your administration you and
had been on the most friendly terms,
and although you had never given me
the slightest intimation that you were
dissatisfied with my management, YOU
abruptly expelled me and my col. |
leagues.
At the time Of your said action and
for a short while prior thereto, you
had been engaged in frantic cam
paign for the advancement of the DO
litical fortunes of your candidate. It
was currently reported that you had
asserted that you would use all the
power of the state administration to
elect your said candidate. When you
summarily removed the Dock Board
all the papers, including those friend
ly to you and your candidate assumed
and SO stated, that your action was in
pursuance of your declared purpose
Of using the political axe on all of
your appointees who refused to rec,
Dgnize your political dictatorship.
Your said action raised storm of
condemnation throughout the city and
state. Following this ontburst, you
shided protestants and then stated for j
he first time that there were other I
'easons for dismissing the board. AT. ,
er week Of, cognitation and confer 8
'nce, you discovered what you state 4
ire the real reasons for your action. I
from your communication addressed /
o me on the Both ult. / gather that i
hese alleged reasons are in brief. il
I. That the Dock Board had.
under my administration become
"Behrnanized," and
z. That had made gross mig
takes In the cost estimates Of the
Navigation Canal; that had 2
made bad financial deal In the z
sale of the last ss,ooo,00 bond

Thompson Answers
Peasants CHARGES

In a stinging letter, given to Il
press Saturday evening, w.
Thompson, former president of tt
Dock Board, replied to Gov. Plea
ants belated explanation of his r
cent removal of the board, an al
which created a statewide sensatio
and brought universal condemnatio
of the governor
| In closing the review of his stew
ardship and showing that all tn
| charges of the governors letter ar
without foundation, thus provini
that his only motive was to serv
the cause of the opponent of Col
Stubbs in the gubernatorial race, MI
Thompson said to the governor:
know little or nothing of pol
itics.
But it Is my humble judgment
that no bird who fouls his own
nest and no governor who pro-
1ibits public service except by
officeholders Of his own political
faction, and no man who strikes
a friend In the back will 90 very
far or stay there very long.
These points are made by Mr..
in his answer to the pov.
ernor:
II the Dock Board was Behrmanized
the governor did it, since he (Mr.
Thompson) did not become member
until January 1917, many months af-
ter the board was organized and the
employees named.
No Politics on Canal
Politics cut no figure in the en-
oloyment of workers on the industrial
sanal, the principal directors of which
we're brought here by G. W. Goethals
g Co. There has been often a short
Ige Of labor and the, directors were
Had to get any kind of workers they
.ouId.
The opinion of the best authorities
n the country is that the industrial
anal will do more for the future de-
elopment of New Orleans than any
hing yet attempted. The idea being
big one, the governor cannot see it. |
The canal proposition was launched
y the important commercial ex-
hanges, the newspapers and the bust !!
ess interests while he (Mr. Thomp-
on) was i'll. He, therefore, did not in
late it.
He is not an engineer and made
OF single estimate Of the cost of T

The war enormously increased the

Awakening of People

To my mind, as richest asset of
our triumph in the recent great world
war has been the awakening of our
people to the possibilities for the COM
mon good of united effort and cordial
cooperation in the broader relation
And even above that and better than
all else, the sense of personal obliga-
ton and solcitude for our neighbor's
welfare and the duty we owe to our
nation, to our own beloved Louisiana
and her people and institutions.
Will you pardon the personal aIlu-
sion when / say to you that it was on
the basis suggested by the words just
spoken that have submitted my can
didacy to the people of Louisiana, and
that in doing so / am prompted only
by the impulse to render useful service
to my state and her people. Early in
the campaign, in fact, in my first pub
lie address at Jeanerette on July 13
last, / said that the next administra-
tion in Louisiana should hive q period
Of rest and freedom from political and
factional strife. There should be no
experiments in legislation and no ex-
plotting of personal ambton in po-
litical way at the expense of the more
serious and pressing business ahead of
US. This is not the time for fierce
political contest. Problems demanding
the best of Louisiana's heart, thought
and unselfish effort must be solved
Justly, sanely and with Jealous re-
gard for the rights of the individual.
If there ever was period in the his
.ory of our state and nation when the
people needed to be spared the burden
