Sanders, soon to New Orleans, March 10. The big retire. Like other factions or par question in Louisiana is wnetner tne "black and tan" republicans will cap ture the state delegation for Taft, or whether the "lily whites" will land It for Roosevelt. The latter have the best chance, on paper. As In most other states, a majority of the common folks In democratic ranks are for Woodrow Wilson.

The good government league hopes to blacken the other eye at the forthcoming municipal election In New Orleans It Is of Interest to know that the leader of the good government or ganization, John M. Parker, was one of Colonel Roosevelt's rough riders John T. Michel was the candidate or tne oia organization lor governor. LutLer E. Hall licked him to a fraz zle. To console Michel, Governor Sanders appointed him to a minor as sessorshlp a few days afterward, to the great glee of the victors Governor Sanders himself ran for the United States senate, but was beaten by Congressman Robert Broussard, In everything but name, Louisiana raises sugar and cotton end wants a tariff wall. The democratic national commit toe man for Louisiana is Robert Ewlng, publisher of the New Orleans Daily States, and he is for Wilson for president. The state organiza tion will likely be for Wilson also. There is a little sentiment for Har Jion. Underwood and Clark, but it is not very pronounced.

The "lily white" branch was form ed In protest against some of the un pleasant political methods employed in making use of the black brothers. jTbe present leaders are Pearl Wight, national committeeman of the state central committee. Wight for Home time has acted as a broker in dispensing federal pat ronage among the faithful, but when the Hooeve".t-Taft issue was joined, WUbt notified the president that he jdid not w'sh to represent the admin istration longer. Williams is a wealthy lumberman, aristocratic and chilly. Wight is a warm Roosevelt advocate: Willlamc will be for Roosevelt, too, but not in any hot-blooded fashion. Williams swears that he will never sit in a delegation to & national con vention, or act as state chairman, if negroes are to be sent to Chicago. As a result of this sentiment, an ef fort was rpoently made to organize a delegation exclusively among the "lily whites." The wall sent up by the "black and tans," who are strong 'n number, was heard In Washing ton, and an arbitration committee of three from the national committee was sent to Louisiana to straighten out the tangle. "Thou shalt not depre the color ed brother of his rights to sit at the table," declared the arbitrators.

McCan Davis is the only republican whose nomina tion for Governor Is at all probable who can be elected this year." "J. McCan Davis, because of his freedom from the . factional fights of the past dozen years, would be sup ported by the entire Republican party of Illinois in No vember." ' . "J. McCan Davis is the logical country candidate for Governor the one man who can concentrate the down state vote on himself in this primary contest. He has tried this thing before (in 1908) and succeded." "We do not want a Chicago man for governor this year. Give us a man from the country a man who knows the needs of the state at large a man who, like J. McCan Davis, is in touch with the country people." Such are the expressions that are coming from all over the State regarding J. McCan Davis, since he became a candidate for Governor the middle of February. Since that time Mr. Davis has talked to hundreds of thousand of voters not in person, of course, but through the newspapers of this State. Public sentiment has respond ed readily, as it becomes evident that he is the available candidate the man who can be elected. ' - "Mr. Davis is the cleanest republican that has yet an nounced himself," says The Weldon Eecord, "and there is not a doubt that he will receive the support from this section in preference to the two 'leading' men now in the race Governor Deneen and John E. Wayman, both of Chicago." The Jacksonville Courier (Dem.) pronoun ces him a "clean, clear-cut fellow, absolutely above sus picion of craftiness or crookedness of any sort, which makes him all the more dangerous in the view of the other aspirants," and predicts that "he may tear great rents in some political machines that are now re- garded as impregnable stranger things have hap pened." The Lee Standard calls Mr. Davis "the second Abraham Lincoln," and declares that his announcement, "coming as it did at the eleventh hour, has caused some consternation among politicians." "The debut of a clean candidate," says The Standard, "will afford the public great relief, as the mudslinging tactics indulged in by the present candidates are most disgusting. A good, clean man is bound to win, as the people are tired of our present methods. J. McCan Davis is widely known throughout the country as an author, close student of public affairs, and a square-toed man." " ' These sentiments reflect the sentiment that is growing with great rapidity throughout the state. Abraham Lincoln was nominated for President in 1860 solely because he was the mcst available man. ' Of all the candidates of all the dozen or more who had been mentioned as Presidential possibilities he was the least talked about in the nation at large up to the convening of the convention. At that time other men were far bet ter known and most of them were supposed to be big ger men. Bt Lincoln had laid the foundation for hit success and when it became evident that Seward, of Cameron, or Wade, or any one of several others, could not be elected if nominated, the convention turned to Lincoln as the one man who could be elected. That is how it came to pass that Abraham Lincoln was nominated for President in 1860. The convention was right Lincoln was elected and he proved to be by far the greatest man of his time.
