Our usually well-informed contem-
porary the Picayune is altogether in
error in the assertion that Hon. E. T.
Lewis was defeated by his vote on the
Morrison bill. His defeat was in no
sense a vote of censure upon his
course upon that measure or any other.
No further proof of this is needed than
that Mr.. ,Parlange, an avowed protec-
ZIONIST, never got as high vote as Mr..
Lewis, and was dropped out Of the con
test, while Judge Irion'a views must
be presumed to accord exactly with Mr..
Lewis, as the Avoyelles convention
that sent him as delegate to Baton
Rouge, uneduivocally endorsed Mr..
Lewis vote on the Morrison bill. Since
we are on this subject, it is as we'll to
say to the Pic and all other protection
lists, that the large majority OF the Dem
0cRats in this district, are consumers,
not manufacturers, and are by no
means as sOlicitous about the protect
ed industries" as they are.

last Saturday after long and painful
illness, aged 90 years. His death was a
peculiarly sad one, for he leaves wife

He was esteemed in the community as
