oncei upon q time Caught the

little vote-has this to say about
the nomination OF Senator Foster
The Democratic Convention of
the 10th Senatorial District, met
at Lake Charles, last Thursday,
Senator Murphy J. Foster, of St.
Mary, was named for reelection.
His selection was made by accla.
nation. It is certainly Good
News to every voter in St. Mary,
and it is safe to say that he will
receive the largest vote ofany can
didate whoever solicited the suf.
frages Of the people Of this parish.
Senator Foster has already served
one term in the State Senate, and
his record therein is unimpeacha-
bic and almost brilliant. Senator
Foster is beloved by all the peo-
pie Of st. Mary, regardless Of po-
litical proclivities, and they will
rally to his support with a fervor
they could not feel for no other
man for the same position. We
congratulate Senator Foster, and
predict for him, to all intents and
purposes, the unanimous vote Of,
St. Mary.
