The charge made against 1ns that s7as
aboua to manipulate the convention in my
own interest is untrue. And again, that
ton and proceeded to another portion of
the building, and was nominated Sos the
Senate, is equally untrue.
The facts of the case are these
The senatorial convention was regularly
called and temporary organization effected.
When this was done committee on Gre
dentials was appointed, consisting of one
member from each parish composing the
twelfth senatorial district. After lapse of
time the committee made report, which
was unanimously adopted. Messrs. &air,
voting therefor. Apermanent organization
was then effected, wheno on motion of R. f..
Ray, Of Ease Feliciana, nominations for
Senator were declared in order. Mr.. Ray
nominated Hon. John Gair, l nominated
John E. Breaux. Speeches were made, first
by myself and afterward by MSe Ray,
each in favor of our candidate.
Then followed Mr.. Gair iH q speech an
hour long, when to shut off debate, he
moved that the roll be called. When Che
roll was called the delegates from West
Feliciana and Point Coupee voted solidly
for John E. Breaux, and when East Fel;,
ciana was called Mr.. Gair invited his two
delegates to follow him outside Of the court
house, which they did.
Mr.. Breaux received the regular and legal
nomination as shown by the proceedings of
