Foot Loose" and ''Hand Free. T"

DR.. E. j. Hummer, of New Or
leans, lately made a trip through
north Louisiana and on his return
sent out a report that there is a
tremendous sentiment for John
M. Parker" among the people;
that the only expression in favor
of Col. Stubs is made by Office
holders, and that 1.-The labor ele-
ment is practically all for Park
err" This absurd and untrutn-
full statement is taken up by the
Parker papers and trumpeted
over the State as a morsel of
comfort to their discouraged
forces.
The doctor, then goes further
referring to Mr.. Parker as above
reproach in every respect" a
business man and an agricultural
list he says: I'm addition is the
very potent fact that Mr.. Park
err owes allegiance to no individ-
ual or system, and being foot
loose and hand free can better
serve the people"
This last statement contains
the very gist of why all loyal
Democrats should repudiate Mr..
Parker as their standard bearer
in the present campaign for gov-
ernor. He owes allegiance to no
party, and for that reason the
Democrats should refuse to fol-
low his leadership. just as they
would not follow Theodore Roose-
welt.
Mr.. Roosevelt was a man of
integrity and above reproach. ,"
and so are thousands of other
men, but that is not the only
qualification for a Democratic
leader. He must be loyal to the
tenets and fundamental princi-
