THE FLIP-FLoPPERS

Sberard Brisbane, manager OF the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES campaign
Saturday evening, issued the follow
ing statement:
"Another week has passed ana MI
Broussard has failed to answer Gov
ernor Sanders question, propounueI
more than a month ago, and severai
times since, whether he (Mr Brous-
sard) supported the Democratic nom
inee. Woodrow Wilson, in the presi-
dental campaign of 1916. Any man
oeu;r;ng to the United States Senate
Of the hands of Democratic voters
certainly should be willing to state
whether he upheld the cause OF Dem
ocracy in that memorable campaign
hid Mr.. Broussard raise his voice IN
behalf of the party whose favor ne
now so earnestly seeks? Answer MI
Rroussard, or by your silence confess
that you know your reply Will 1ur-
thor weaken your now Democratic
candidacy"
And at Lake Charles, last Satur-
dav Edwin, The Wet, thus sings at
Jared. The Dry, who suddenly be-
came dry after the whole nation went
dry:
"Did you not, Mr.. Sanders, in 1914
Voluntarily offer to support Mr.. H.
A Pharr as a candidate for Congress
from the third congressional district,
if Mr.. Guydan should be the Demo
cratic nominee for said office!
"Did you not deny this subsequent
Nv so emphatically as to force Mr..
Pharr to prove it?
"Did you not, in room 1173 of the
st. Charles Hotel, in June, 1914,
offer Governor Parker, in the pres
ence of Col. W. H. Price and DIR.
Thomas Stack, to join the Progress
sive party and accept the nomination
for Congress from the third district
on that ticket on condition that ne
persuade Mr.. Peterman, Mr.. Liable.
Judge Martin and me to withdraw
from the contest?
"Did not Governor Parker turn
YOUR offer down, and did you not
later deny the whole transaction SO
emphatically as to require Governor
Parker to prove the facts?
"And after you had been turned
down by Mr.. Pharr, and by. Mr.. Par
Iker, did you not in 1916, raise the
NEGRO issue against the nominees OF
the Progressive party for governor
and lieutenant governor John NJ.
Parker and myself?
"PIease answer all these questions
before you raise your usual boast OF
democratic regularity. You, Mr.
Sanders, fought for Mr.. Guydan and
the Democratic party because the
Progressive party would not have
Iyou. After you were refused entry
Into the Progressive party you left
the third congressional district anc
, located at Bogalusa."
II From what each says Of the otheI
what right has either of these men tt
enter Democratic primary for ths
|, highest Office within the gift of Lou
, lisiana Democrats? From what they
say each is a democrat because {
! United States Senatorship is in sight
| For the same reason is not one wet
: because he hopes to catch the votes
of the thirsty, and the other sudden
' Ily dry, because the nation has gone
I dry? And for the same reason have
not these two stalwart January 1925
; Anti Ringsters, become as dumb a
5 oysters, in August 1920, because tn
New Orleans ring is supposed to hav'
I 10000 or $4,000 votes that it vii
/ tkrow to the candidate for the Uni
a ted States Senate who can Smile a
$ it most lovingly and goo goo eye i
at the present time. o Consistency
/ Thy name is neither Edwin nor Jar
r ed. The people of Louisiana vii
r hardly put in the United States Sen
, ate such weaklings-such flip-flop
pers, as Jared or Edwin.
Respectfully,
