Ex-Governor NEouton.

Ey-G0v. Alexander Mouton died on
his plantation, near Vernlilionville. in
Lafayette parish, Thursday night, at
the august age ef eighty two. Few.
men IN the State have filed more i'm
portant positions than Gov. Mouton.
More than half century ago, in 1927,
he was elected member of the House
of Representatives of this State, and
was frequently reelected to that body !,
and finally chosen it's Speaker, In 1887
he received still another promotion, be-
ing elected to represent the State OF
Louisiana in the United State Senate.
He proved an able and worthy repre-
sentative, at q time when the Senate
was filed with the great men of the
country. All his brother members have
long since passed away, and Gov. Mou-
ton, at the time of his death, was pro-
badly the oldest surviving United States
Senator. In 1912 Senator Mouton re-
signed his place in Congress in order to
become acandidate for Governor, to
which position he was elected in l643,
serving until 1916. For awhile Gov.
Monton retired from the political arena
TO private life; but In 1861 he came to
the front again, during that year, as
president of the Secession convention.
In all these various positions, as men,
Der OF the Legislature, Senator and Gov
ernor, MFR. Mouton proved an efficient,
capable and trustw orthy officer, and
left behind him the reputation ef being
one of the best governors the State ever
had &. Goy. Mouton was Of Acadian ORR
gin, bis father, Jean M. MOnton, emil
grating from Acadia (now Nova Scotia)
in 1853, and settling in the Attakapae
