they are brought face to fa:e E]
with the b4re facts they be
fin to realize that some slight
expense is necessarily incur- i
red when candidates for state R<
offices are chosen by a general in

show that the question of ia
cost is receiving considerable ty
Si
atteutiou: S
"And so ii haslbeen figured of
out that the primary is to cost tl
a iirtune and the prorata e
share of each candidate is to
be so much that it will proba
bi debar some of them.
If the committee had been
a primary committee instead t
of a conventioin committee as t
has been charged this would a
probably have been different.
it looks like an attempt to a
kill the primary itovement. b
The main item of expense is L
to be the pay of the commis- t
stoners and clerks of election.
This ought to be lopped off. t
t There are certainly enough t
t Democrats in Louisiana with t
the interest of their party
and welfare of their State and r
good government sufficiently
at heart to hold this election r
, *ifhout x t and we have no
x doubt that the different can
e didates will not appeal to t
" their friends in vain. About t
the only cost of the election
outside of what each candi- I
date may feel justified in in
curring should be that of the
e election tickets, tally sheets
x and necessary stationery, and
this should not exceed $500
per candidate. There are
sufilcleut ballot boxes already
in every parish in the State
and where booths for the pre
paration of ballots are not
it now provided the people will,
it we feel sure, willingly have
. them erected. The time for
"putting up" is short but the
h conimittee'should revise and
d reduce this expense account.
n It is altogether too high. If

t. nullify the act by making the
primary a vehicle for pluto
crats only. Give the people a
%t- chance to hold it without
,s- money for their manhood's
se sake. They haven't yet been
Sasked."-Monroe News.
1e The cost of the primary
could be largely reduced by
es securing the appointment of
er commissioners who would
be give their services gratis to
n. the pauty. If commissioners
Le- and clerks of election are to
ot r&-.eive $3 per diem for their
services that will involve an
expense of $12 at each pre
i-cinct or about $12,000 for the
si entire State. To divide this
e. sum between~ tw41vy canau
ididates will make the expenses
$1,000 for each, to begin with,

Ex-Lieut-Gov. Robt. H. Sny- it,
Tli. Sentinel takes pleasure th
in reproducing from the Baton
Rouge Advocate the follow
iug just tribute to a worthy at
ml
man:
If there is a man in Louis
iana that the democratic par- cc
ty owes anything to, itis Bob di
Snyder, of Tensas. He is one
of the manliest men in Lou
isiana, today. He is as genu
tle as a woman, as kind, sweet al
tempered. learned, experieno- in
ed, fearless and true as men bI
grow to be in this boasted o'
land of chivalry. Never a 0!
word has been said in deroga- hi
tion of him, even when the I'
ferce searchlight of political tx
controversy and contention
fell upon him. He is the idol
of the people who know him fr
bapt. He was tendered the
Lieutenant-Governorship or s
the Attorney Generalship, in in
the convention that nominat- co
ed Governor Heard, but like o
the loyal friend and true mani
that lie is, he said: "No, I
ran for the governorship and
lost. Others of my friends P
ran for other positions on the s
L) ticket, positions as honorable a
and as earnestly sought by
them as was the first place toy
me. They were loyal and !
R true. If our people are to be
recognized, it belo rigs to those
as loyal, as taithful and as
' deserving as I, who sought s
e the other positions on the
ticket." He is a fine lawyer, Q
da brainy, well read man, a
*e scholar and a gentleman. i
He has long experience in a
y the House of Representatives, 1
e and as presiding officer of the
Senate his equipment as a
parliamentarian was perfect
1' ed. As a presiding officer of t
ea deliberative body he is with- t
r out a peer in Louisiana. He
will represent Tensas in the
d next House and the Advocate I
places his name at its mast- j
11 head as Speaker of the House
of Representatives.
re Extra Session of Congress.
i- -
n On last Tuesday week the
Prterdent of thekTS~h I tt
re called congress to meet in
o- extra session beginning on
a November 9th.
The following is the pro
a clamation:
By tle President of the
United States of America; A
ry Proclamation-Whereas, it is
y required by the resolution of
Id the Senate of March 19, 1903,
to that the approval by Con
gress of the reciprocal corn
rsmercial convention between
irthe United States and the
in Republic of Cuba, signed at
LaHavana, on Dec. 11, 1902, is
Lenecessary before the said con
vention shall take effect, and,
~-~Whereas7 it is important to
- the public interests or the
es United States that the said
convention shall become
Soperative as early as may be :
Now, therefore. I, Theodore
seRoosevelt, President of the
atUnited States of America, by
viteof the power vested in
me by the Constitution, do
hereby proclaim and declare
that an extraordinary occa
te sion~ requires the convening
e: of both houses of the Con
giess of the United States, at
a their respective chambers in
ly Washington, on the 9th day
Sof November, at 12 o'clock
R n~oou, to the end that they
m- may consider and detehnin~e
rid whether the approval of the
m- Congress shall be given to
- the said convention.
? All persons entitled to act
is as members of the F'ifty
VOeighth Congress are request
rn- ed to, take notice of this pro
in- Given under my hand and
Iy the seal of the United States,
" at Washinigton, the twentieth
" day of October, in the year of
di our Lord one thousand, nine
r-hundred and three, and of
ilf, the independence of the Unit*
urt ed States one hundred, aind
of twenty eight. R(sW LT
of Byl the President.
toj Joax HAY, Secy. of State.
Is It thus appears that the
or~ President is determined to
om move heaven and earth to
ife force his Cuban reciprgoity
:h treaty through congress. I-ie
ath is. a-s stubborn as he can b.c
his on thiis subject, and cart's
ur-; little what effect thue treats
ries hds iip"Im tlht swmar andIl to
bacco interests. He wants
reciprocity with Cuba at any U
costs, and if be does not get
it, it will !ot be his fault.
Press eqpatches from
Washington announce that
there is smal likelihood of
the measure being passed at
the extra session. The tariff
and the isthmian canal will
most likely be the .two ques
tions which will take up and
consume the time of c0-tigress
during the extra session.
The Loilsiana delegation
will no doubt stand pat
against the treaty, as it did
in the past. The treaty will
be of no adxantage to us, but,
o} the contrary, a positive
harm to the sugar industry.
Let no stone he left untur led
%o defeat it,
The estion of how the
farmers he western states
stand si tares a*d *Mte.
1issues bas been strongly ipdi
cated through the enterprise
of the "Farm and Home",
published in Chicago. That
i newspaper sent out 50,000
R postal cards reqiesting an
I swers to seven questions,
amongst which was: "Should
' tariff be revised?" The vote
on that proposition was yes,
e 27,198, no, 10,738.
e When it is considered that
s the majority in most of the r
states from which this vote'
e was gathered is largely re-I
a publican, it marks the revolt
in the ranks of that party
n against excessive protection.
" But another vote was taken
e on a kindred subject that
t. shows how the extortions of
.f the trust4 are regarded by t
1- the farm*r. The question, V
e asked wars "Should trusts be
e regulated or suppressed ?"
t. The answer was: Regulated, b
0 $$,854; ppressed 14,449.
This strat vote shows the
drift for aff reform and L
B- regulation f the trusts. The
stand. have a job in
1e front pi them next year.
n Mr. Charles A. Edwards
n writing from Washington, D.
C., says: "

In this age it requires no argument to convince thinking peop.e that Elec
tricitv is the greatest curative agent khown to science.
The most learned physicHns of Europe and America concede this, and
there is to-day, not a hospital in the world. or a great physician in active
practice. who does not daily use it with most wonderful effects in all chronic
diseases.
Our batteries are operated by powerful Dry Cells of the very best quality. ]
The coils in our machines a:.d all mechanical parts of our Batteries are made
by skilled mechanics and Do bt owr we our or otlusR.
The Dry Cells with which our machines are fitted will last from three
months to a tear. according to the use the Battery receives. All the Batteries
are so constructed that the Dry Cells can be removed by any person when ex
bausted and new Cells put in their place in a very few seconds.
Diseases in which a speedy Cure can be Effected
by the use of the Faradic Currents of Electricity
generated by our Batteries:
Paralysls, Epilepsy, Lecemoter Ataxia Rheumatism Muscular Rheumatism,
