IT. The renort that we are p candidate

O. The report that we are e candidate
for. the office Of Sheriff of this parish. is in
correct and without foundation. In fact, we
had determined upon running for the Office:
but after carefully calculating or chances,
to the conclusion that two votes would
be the sum total Of our .upport-oor jonr's
vote and our own. Therefore for the sake Of
peace and harmony in onr party we with
draw, and make this announcement in order
TO define our position. we expect an I'M
mense amount Of praise for our magnanimity.
