For all previous parish conventions the
parish executive committee appointed but
,ne polling place Ia each ward Tor the cleo
lion Of Delegates to the parish convention
j here are eight wards and twenty polling
places In our parish, and on account Of com
plants that the Democracy OF the parish could
not be fully represented by delegates elected
1t only one polling place In each ward, the
chairman OF our executive committee In call
ng the parish convention OF last Tuesday,
ordered, very properly, an election for dele
gates at each Of the twenty polling places In
he parish. Although due notice OF such cleo
ion waspublished In our paper for two CON
'ecutive weeks before the election, the De-
nocracy at twelve Of the twenty polling |
places failed to elect delegates, and conse-
luently were not represented In the parish |
olvention.-[CalcasieuE Echo
