LUZENBERG IU IHE VOTERS
An Outline of His Past and Some Edi
torial Comment of the Daily Press.
New Orleans, August, 1912. otI
To the Democratic Voters of the City li'
and Parish of Orleans: in
I am a candidate for the important tic
office of District Attorney and solicit in
your suffrange.
I was born in New Orleans and have cad
spent my life here except for the few ed
years spent in college. I began the be
practice of my profession in 1890 and Pu
my practice has been confined to the we
criminal branch of the law.
I was appointed to the office of Die ea
trict Attorney of this Parish June 27,
1903, to succeed the lamented J. Ward pr
Gurley, and I gave the result of years ob
of experience to make my administra- us
tion a success, and it was a success.
Permit me to say that no man can hope, p
no matter how great his ability, without
experience, to properly conduct that
omce. You must know the people of ci
this great cosmopolitan city to properly
select Jurors, and whilh the law is a
science, the conduct of a criminal case ca
is an art and it takes years of exper
ience to master that art.
During my administration of that of- h
flee, many important cases were tried nE
successfully, and a congested docket
practically cleared, and full credit was le
given me by the people of this city and a
by the press, especially by The Times
Democrat and the Picayune.
I am proud of my administration, not
only because the guilty were punished,
but because even my enemies admit that
I played the game fair. No advantage d
was ever taken of any man and the
rights guaranted to the accused by the
Constitution and Laws of this State le
were always fully observed. oi
All citizens having business in the di
Criminal Courts will bear me out when P
I say that I and my assistants were at
all times courteous to all, and that we
knew no distinction when it come to
our official duties between friend or
foe, between the rich and powerful or 1
the poor and unfortunate.
I look upon a District Attorney as
something more than a hired prosecu
tor. He is a Judicial officer. He is not a
only to punish the guilty, but above all
he is to protect the innocent. And that
plan I followed, and will follow if you a
elect me your District Attorney.
My term of office expires on Decem- C
ber 5th, 1904. I had been In oace a
little over sixteen months, and I have
the satisfaction of knowing that I did g
my duty well. Eight years have passed d
and during those eight years I have o
Igained an experience, and I ask you to
let me have the honor of agin being y
I your District Attorney. a
The office is now on a fee basis. I
have for years openly stated that I was o
opposed to that system. I believe in y
salaries for the District Attorney and
for his assistants.
I believe in the principles of the a
Democratic Party and have always vot
ed the straight National and State Dem
ocratic ticket, but no man can truthful
ly say that I have in no instance
allowed party loyalty to influence my
official acts in the slightest degree. If
elected I will be the District Attorney
of all the people and not of a party or
faction.
Before my defeat, through the inter
- vention of Governor Blanchard, for re
nomination in the Democratic conven
r tion in September, 1904, malicious and
r untrue charges had been published'
against me in the Daily Item, then un
I der a different management. In this
connection I quote from the case of
Sllsenberg verss O'Mally, 116 Laouisla
- na Reports, page 707. In giving me
J- Judgment for $5,000, the Supreme Court
Ssaid:
"0he Court regrets to have to say,
Sthat the reading of the record foroes
the conclusion that defendants were
actuated by enmity. This personal
animolty breathes in the publiea
tions, especially in that of September
20th. The election was then over,
and for continuing the attack upon
pladntiff, they could remain no rem
sons except thew were private. lAgain,
it not from personal spite and hatred,
why should the defeodants have made
this violent assult upon pinntif?
Wuas he not a yonag Ima in the ful
lest oesslesso of his mentadl and
physical faclties, who, a this Court
itself can bear witnaes, has made u
able District Attorney, and alast
whose lntegrity deiadats have been
• nabl, to show anthing"

other public official for the protection of.
life and property in the city by bring
ing all offenders before the bar of jus-.
tice and prosecuting them with zeal and
intelligence.
"An inexperienced, and not specially
capable, but honest and well-intention-I
ed person in that Important office will'
be able to accomplish but little for the
public good, because his movements
would be handicapped or even complete
ly stopped by difficulties that would be
easily surmounted by a truly able man.
"The office in the hands of an un
principled man might easily operate to
obstruct the course of justice, or be
used to secure personal or private ends.
"It is easy, then, to see how all im
portant it is that this office, which has
been proved to be the sword and bul
wark of justice in several of the great
cities of the country, should be occupied
by one of the ablest and honest crimi
nal lawyers that the bar of New Orleans
can produce.
"Such an one is the present incum
bent. It has been long since the city
had an abler man In the place, and it
never had one more devoted to the
work before him. This man is Chand
ler C. Luzenberg. He is one of the re
cognized leaders of the criminal bar,
Having enjoyed a large special practice,
extending through a number of years,
and when he took the office to succeed
his lamented predecessor, who had been
stricken down by the hand of a mur
derer, he found justice so prostrated by
the audacity and success of the blow
that he was confronted with a hercu
lean task of re-establishing the reign t4
of law and assuring protection and or- w
der for the city and its people. The tb
people not only owe to him some re- it
cognition of his distinguished services, >
but they owe it to their own safety. '
'That his management of the ofce 0
has been entirely unselfish and solely t4
in the interest of the community is r
shown by the fact that immediately on I
taking charge of the office Mr. Lusen- b
berg at once employed an extra assist
t ant, paying him out of his own pocket. a
This gave him an assistant in each of t
the four courts-two paid by the 8tate I
and two paid by him-and permitted a
him to devote his time to important t
cases. Furthermore, he has not heal
tated, whenever it was necessary for
the successful management of cases, to.
go to personal expense. Finding the n
dock ts congested when he took charge e
of the office, some of the prisoners hay- t
p ing been in jail awaiting trial over a
year, he has cleared the docket so that It
now any prisoner can be tried inside of I
I sixty days, thus doing more work in G
one year than was done in the three
years preceding.
d "For the ifrst time in years he has C
gly n us a District Attorney who does
e not hesitate to go himself at once to'
the scene of the crime (and this is per- f
haps the real secret of the conviction s
in the Aspara case) and under his man
agement almost every important case
tried has resulted in a conviction. I
While the work done has been brilliant
in its success, the management of the I
r odie has been conservative and not sen
sational, and solely in the interest of
r the community.
"The idea that such an office in this
emergency may be made the subject of I
, a -political deal should not be counte- .
mi anced for a moment, but should be re
Ssented by the people whose public safe
s ty is at stake."

torney, as we have taken the occasion
wenever it was offered to call attention
to his good work and to heartily praise
it. Called to office when the murder of
fits predecessor, the lamented Gurley;
showed the necessity of a firm and rig
orous hand in the ofce of District At
torney to suppress the violence and dis
regard for life that had been shown
here on so many occasions, Mr. Lusen
berg threw himself earnestly into the
work. A number of murder cases had
accumulated awaiting trial. All the
technicalities of the law would, it was
knows, be used to save the criminals;
and an unfortunate sentimentaflsm on
the part of Jurors too often let the muar
derers escape, or hesitated to exact the
extreme penalty of the law. In seuh
lng five convictions, and capital punish
ment for five brutal murders, Mr. Las
enberg has not only vindicated 'the law,
but has struct a blow at murder, the
1 good ffects of which we already we in
the decline of that and other crimes of
violence. We have mentioned this case
1only as a sample. The entire advalns

been satisfactory, efficient, prompt end

where there is a large dangerous ole

1around all, we need in the omeo at
District Attorney a man of the emergy.
courage and legal knowledge of Mr.
Luzenberg to assure protection agalnst
crime. A District Attorney such as be
has proved himself to be supplies much
that we lack in the way of police.
'"The unanimous support given him
by the press of New Orleans, whleh sel
dom agrees on any question of this
kind, is the highest tribute that eaold
be paid our District Attorney. His re
tentlon in this position would not mly

would have a distinctly good deet ia
every branch of the service, convine
