DAYS ago. During the entlre Session,
! the louisiana lottery has had
4 well-organizcd and wel-paid lobby, head
ed and directed by several prominent law

get "A denomination through the lnstfumeh-
! tality Of the anti-MahOneiles. Ontil the fe.
! turns of the last state election were receive"
Bowden stood well in Mahonc's cstimation.
! When the returns showed that bOMdeh
district had fallen far short OF kepu'-
hcan estimates, and had Unexpectedly con-
! tributed To the enormous majority against
! the Boss. MahOne grew indignant. IN lne
presence of "A dozen witnesses hepetnlantiy
reminded Bowden Of the pledges ne hau
made and virtually charged hlm win e'the,
| treachery or neglect. Alter haNlhS sSvIsu
Bowden rOundy Mahone admOnlshed MN
that he had better look out fer his own scalp,
adding that if the Republicans were no
| STRONGER than the state election Indicated,
Ro,vden would not yet back Ia Congress.
That was construed as an implied threat,
and il called BOwden considerably.
Possibly 10y way of retaliation, boNuen
became a prominent champion oi h'ns7t"n,
and this further irrtated Malone, who very
omphatically notified the member from the
Norfolk district that if he adhered To Lang.
sion ne must look out for his own politicai
future. BOwGen is now working the anti
Malone forces and depending upon them.
