P. .James as a candidate to succeed himse!f as member of the Police Jury from ward 2. i\ir. James is too well known to the voters of his ward to need an introduction at our hands, but we wish to say a few words relative to his record as a mem- b&r of the police jury the past three years. "Frank" has always stood for every progressive movement that has beer, brought before the body of police members. He ha. taken a broad view on alll legis- lation and cast his vote where it would benefit the parish as well is his own ward and in the in- terest of the general develop- ment anclpro• rity of our par- ward and has always deen" re ,a y o- ing so, usually succeeded in car- ;ying any legislation that he fos- -ered. We cheerfully commend his -andidacy to the favorable con- 'ideration of the voters of the 1 econd ward. H. F. Long. 1 In the proper column of this ;sue appears the formal announ- ,ement of Mr. H. F. Long as a andidate for member of police ury from ward 6. Mr. Long is a progressive farmer of that section, and is held in high esteem by his fellow citizens. He is competent to fill the position to which he aspires and if elected, will doubtless serve his people to their satis- faction. We commend his candi- dacy co a favorable consideration of the voters of the sixth ward, Dr. S. G. Hines. In this weeks issue appear the formal announcement of Dr S. G. Hine as a candidate fo member of the police jury ti represent this, the 4th ward of Caldwell parish, subject to the action of the democratic party at the primary election to be held on January, 25, next. The office to which he aspires is one of the most important in the gift of his people. The pol- ice jury has the expenditure of many thousand dollars, besides the duty of reviewing assess- ments and passing much needed legislation, and the voters should look well to the selection of thier representative. Dr. Hines is thoroughly quali- fied to fill this responsible office, ihe his not only been a success- jful -practitioner of his chosen profeesioi; but a successful busi- u an as well fle is popular ~ng his people and has iaways -eoa for the advancement of the agricultdral, educational and nmoral development of this parish and if elected to the office of pol. ice jury. will doubtless fill it with honor to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. We cheer- fully commend his candidacy to to your favorable consideration. AN S. J. HARPER ANNOUNCES FOR THE SIATE ay SENATE noiia, To the People of the 27th Sena- -torial District: ;ditor In announcing myself as a can didate for the position o,i' State Ivance a Senator for this District for the 'choll next four years, I wish ?o .,tate S that words tail to exprc, s how rish. much lappreciate the confidence you reposed in me four ye:: S ago yween b electing me to the ver.C im- rinri portant and responsible pos1. ion metioned; and I no'':. shall iimen- uher- tion a few things I stand f, r. First. We have am•lng us a Sor large number of people kn awn as a public working class whr, in the near future will be left 1 we among us without jobs and with- ider:, out homes. They will be depen- Sen. dent upon us for homes, and for them to be usefull citizens, they those ,nust have hom,,s. but how they feel are to get them. when all the pub- gain, lie lands have been taken up al- if he ready, is the quiestion to be solv- Son ed. At present I know of no way except through the rural credit system. The rural credit system t this does not mean that the people rmal will be given or loaned money P. with which to buy merchandise, ceed but to secure homes on long term: (lice and at a low rate of ititerest, so that any energetic. economical o)w person can secure a home. need Second. I believe the school e uds, system needs to be brought more )rds under the control of the local em- boards of trustees, and consider- past able amount of,1' the red tape un- der which it is today cut out. We for need more practical business in n lent our schools. It is taking too long l the and is costing too much for a T has child to get an education. We T gis- are educating our children away ,e it from the farms, which only adds i veil more people to the roving class. in- the parish superintendent of op- public education should be elec- Fo ar- ted by the people. T' JLbelivev a minimum ca o- c ance with the greatest econo- ra .ar- my that he or she could not lay atii :os- up something with which to meet a "rainy day" or secure a his home. on- Fourth. While as your Sena- the tor I voted for every local op. tion bill that come up in the Sen ate, yet I recognize the fact that an ,in many instances local option is wt his not much better than opensa- n- looon, therefore as a protection il s to local option communities, I Th ice favor state wide probition :eith. n er by statue or an ammendment Pa: ive to our State Constitution, tl is Fifth. While in the rural dis- w tricts woman suffrage may not It fill be of so much importance, yet to Ies I believe if we had it it would be na Sthe cause of many needed re- Ise is forms being enacted into law, bua di- therefore I favor it. ket or Sixth. I believe the fee sys- b Stem should be abolished. and in- F stead, salaries :aid all public of- d ficials, so that the people could son irs know how much each official pl Ir. would get. tar] or Seventh. Our fertilizer and to feed laws are not in tihe interest of ofthe consumers, thereforeI ie favor such laws as will ausolute- y ly protect them against frauds. Id I could mention other things needful, but deem it unncessary s at this time. n Thanking you for the confi- . dence you have reposed in me as >f expressed at the polls four years s ago, and thanking you in ad- Svance for your suppoL, at the U d Democratic Primary to be held d January 25, 1916, I remain, r Your servant, SS. J. Harper. But there were false propnets also among the people, even as there shall /be falbe teachers among you. who pri-A - vily shall bring in damnable heaesies, 1 even denying the Lord that bought them and bring upon themselves- swift des- truction. --I Peter.
