Boards and Commissions. "The departments, boards, commissions and other agencies of the state should be so organized and administered as to render the best possible service to the public from whom taxes are collected. If general public criticism Is well founded, present methods of using some state agencies is destroying their efficiency for the sole purpose of serving expediency. "When elected governor, I propose to render Impossible any political use of the highway commission and the conservation commission or any other like body. Agriculture.

"Louisiana is essentially an agricultural state and her prosperity is in large measure dependent upon the welfare of her agriculturists. The farmer does not ask special privileges, but he Is entitled to, and should have, all proper and helpful co-operation and assistance that the state can give toward placing him upon an equal footing with industry. We give as one reason for highway construction, Improvement of inland waterways, and the encouragement of railway transportation, the desire to assist the farmer in getting his products to market as cheaply as possible. I believe we should go further and place at his disposal facilities that will aid him In marketing the products of our state In the centers to which they must be shipped. "Louisiana Is an ideal location for a large dairy Industry, and with Intelligent direction and encouragement, we would become one of the leading dairying states.

This would greatly Increase the money return of our farmers and Mid in promoting general prosperity. "Agriculture Is a basic lnduitry and in tne main, the Durnoses I have home market, will be a most Important step in upbuilding the material Interests of our state. Tells of Roads. "I favor continuing federal end state aid to complete our system of public highways, connecting the outlying rural sections of the state with the main arteries of the system. Highways properly constructed and maintained, constitute an Investment on the part of the public.

The convenience and economic value of such highways constitute the return on this Investment. "In connection with the general policy of highway construction and the completion of the federal aid system, my position Is that the lateral roads connecting the outlying rural district with the main system should be completed first. The main lines with which they connect, leading, for instance, Into the cities, towns and market centers, should be shortened, widened where neoessary, and hard surfaced. This complete system will serve the conveniences of both the country and the cities. Free Bridges.

"I favor and will encourage the building of toll-free bridges In the state as public necessity may require, as rapidly as may be consistent and compatible with the development of the general highway system. Institutional Homes. "It Is my purpose, as far as the finances of the state will permit, to provide for the proper care and training of the blind, delinquent, deaf and dumb, and to amply support eleemosynary and charitable institutions. We should be generous In caring for our people whose unfortunate condition make them proper subjects for care and training by the state. Conservation.

"It Is proper and necessary that the natural resources of our state be conserved through reasonable regulation of their use. They should be an asset to the people of the state and bring returns to the public. The state tgency engaged In regulatory work should be sufficient to perform Its duties, but not used to build a political machine. "The gas resources of our state can be made a domestic convenience and an industrial asset to our people. The use of this resource in the production of carbon black will be gradually eliminated, because the use of natural gas for other purposes Is becoming more profitable.

In the meantime strict regulations should be enforced. Industry. "We have In Louisiana untouched resources and almost limitless possibilities for Industrial expansion.

Wilson Is the only one of the three candidates, who possesses unml tak-ebly all three v.f the qualifications that I have named. While I may not be In line with all of the thought of the state upon this subject, yet In my judgment the state of Louisiana has the right to have a governor at the head of her affairs who Is sincere In his integrity, who is able In the discharge of his duty, and who Is absolutely sober In his private life. I believe this is not an unreasonable requirement for one who seeks the chief magestracy of the state of Louisiana. Opnoses I'selrss Jobs. "Judge Wilson Is not responsible lor the highway commission and the manner in which it has conducted Its affairs, nor is he responsible for the conservation commission or the manner in which it has conducted its affairs; perhaps not as much as Mr.

Long or myself, who have been here all the time. If there be useless Jobs end positions that may be abolished, they are not Mr. Wilson's creation. He has promised you in his platform that he will cause a commission to be appointed consisting of experts in order to make a survey of the machinery of the state generally, and If there be useless jobs or useless boards they will be either abolished or curtailed so that they will be In keeping with the strictest economy ind efficiency. Let us correct the wrong wherever It exists without destroying a whole system which seems to be necessary In the proper administration of governmental functions In those particular departments.
