If Murphy Foster is elected gov
ernor of Louisiana and the revenue
amendment is carried at the same
time. by what magic does he expect
to change the result? It is a palpable
fraud to say that the lottery ques.

governor. 1t has passed beyond con.
troll of the politicians and is now on
final appeal to the highest tribunal

"a friend of mine was approached
recently by a Foster leader and
asked if he would accept the posi-
ton Of assessor and registrar of the
votes for our parish. He replied
that he would. lie was then INFORM
ed that there were some conditions
attached. Inquiring what they
were, he was given to understand
that faction work was expected in
making the election returns. He
replied that he was an anti but not
a thief, and the matter ended"
The above is a fair sample Of the
yarns the talented liars now in the
service of the lottery a spin. 1t
never struck this imbecile however
that his tale falls to the ground from
the simple reason that in the coun.

election returns than the man in the

turning officer. Try it again.

Handsomely acknowledged. Address

officials set to work and they found
that it emanated indirectly from the
widow of a baronet. who is in posi-
3ti0n to offer the social advantages
which the advertisement implies, but
she finds herself in very straitened
financial condition; hence the advertise
ment. While the officials refuse to give
the name of this latter-day "Patriciap"
