The Banner-Democrat. [volume] (Lake Providence, East Carroll Parish, La.) 1892-current, 1894-03-24

AS viii be seen by the proclamation
Of Returning officer w. E. Dunn, In
election 10 fill the vacancy in Ii,
Legislature vii. be held on fhe 16tl
Of April. The parish primaries hav'
been fixed by fhe Parish Execu,iv,
COMMITTEES for The 9th instant, mex
Tuesday.
As this viii be The last issue of ths
q Banner. Democrat before the prim
aries. We take occasion to urge upon
Ievery voter the necessity Of going q
the polls and voting. East Carroll has
a elm white vote, and If few here
aud few there remain at home
lthiaking il unnecessary to 80 to- the
polls, coinparaiivelysmall vote will
be the result, which will not show Us
up in the best light.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Beard from
the race, and the reported withdrawal
of Mr.. Davis. leaves the field to Mr..
WHY. This was the best thing the
1.-TWO first named gentlemen could have
done. as the Parish is SO overwhelm-
moly in favor of Mr.. WHY. Mr..
Beard was out on his own merits,
irrespective of party affiliations, aud
seeing that his strength was small, he
exercised good judgment in quitting
the field.
1t is fact that has gained credence
all over the parish that Mr.. Davis was
brought out and sustained by a small
party of administration men and that
his candidacy has been not so much
against Mr.. WyIy as against our Con-
gresham, G. j. Boatuer. Mr.. Wyly is
an Cutspoken Boatner man; and his
endorsement by the whole parish, with
the exception of about twenty-five or
thirty citizens, shows how strong the
strength of Mr.. Boatner is in East
Carroll.
We make these remarks irrespective
of party feeling and in doing SO, we
voice the sentiment of the masses of
the people. 1t is due to them, to the
district at large aud to our efficient
Congressman. that an unbiased men,
ton Of the situation should be made
at this time.
Let every voter, therefore, come
out and vote, if it is possible, aud
make as good showing rs we can.
Easter Sunday will be as usual
celebrated by our churches as the
Christian day: "'rhis is day the
Lord has. made, let US be glad and re-
joice therein" All have prepared
good music for Easter; the Catholic
Church especially has very fine pro-
gramme. Mrs. J.. E. Ransdell, leader
of the choir, will have fine solos aud
choruses executed on that day. Her
choir is composed of excellent mu-
sicians, in fact, The very best IN the
city; and we are glad to hear that Miss
Lucille McCulloch, who for several
months has not been able to sing aud
whose fine voice was so much missed
by her friends, win resume her place
