With your permi:ssioni, I would like to say that I have Gi no criticism to make co'icening C11 most of it for a great deal of tile "2--1 platform is a code of principles that most democrats stand for. .R But I do want to call attention to 3.: what seems to a great many ,s th an inconsistent 1)osition for Mr. fie Branch to take. His second C. plank is a declaration aainst thec( fee system by which an otfficer may reward his friends or pun- St ish his encemies. At theI time he ti stands on this plank he also, sits O as chairman of the Democ'ratic hl Executive Committee of this I(1 parish as will be noticed from R proceedings of tl.e committee in same paper, and as suchl lie has selectel in tih past, and will select iii he future the retumling br Sofficers for the P'rim|i ies. 'Tlllree tifteen electio:: p rcincts in the Parish and fifteen return ing officers to be named for the January Priarmy. Each return ini otticer will receive at least of ICC. $10. Is not the urinciple the it sglsa me? Will lie Iot be able to "reward his friends" even while hlie is running for otticeh? I'ur thermure in the eveni, of a con he test over the primary, even if M1r. Branch did not sit as a he jude of his ovwn interest he would be called on to select lhis ' own prOxy.IXt I want to ask Mr. Branch if hle a blic does not thi.nk that his position is is inconsistent and unfair upon fits this matter. h dy On;e thing I want to mention, that is I am in thorough accord not with tIlie pirohibition plank of the ace platform. I havebeen advocat hating and living by that principle ' in fo(r many.v years. I not only de es clare fori it, but live prohibition ch ind if elected I will not only tr suplp)rt prohibition measuresl the but will continue to live it. [Fromi ext ine to time between this and ' the the date of the prima'y I pro s- pose to mrn:et the people of the rch. Parish as occasion may arise and a t discuss the public questions ies- which if elected I may be called leg- upon o consider, and I may and agaill tale advantage of the o) o rotunity to express my opinion on the vital issues of the hour, y through your columns.
