The earnest solicitation of numerous
friends, and the almost unanimity of
those who first placed me in public office

influenced me to consent to become a can

Vermilion Parish once more. In asking
your support I promise the same care and
attention to the duties of the Office as the
record of my past incumbeney shows.

BREIDENTHAL sLAPs MRS. LEASE
Says He Hopes She VIII Make Speeches fol
the Republicans.

Topeka, Kan April 24-The Kansas
City Times correspondent here sends
the following to his paper:
A story comes from Wichita that Mrs.
Mary Z. Lease is supporting L. D. Lew
cling for the Populist nomination for
governor in order to have an excuse TO
bolt the party and support the Repub-
Iican ticket. This story may Go Mrs.
Lease a great injustice, but there is no
doubt that she has a scheme on hand
and Is using the Lewelling boom to push
1t along. Mrs. Lease is a shrewd pol
!tician and therefore knows that Level
ling can not get the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. She admitted as much to the
Times correspondent the day of the
Republican convention al Wichita. She
said that Lewelling was politically dead
and expressed the opinion that Harris
would be the nominee. Her personal
choice, however, was Marsh Murdoch.
and she declared that if the Republicans
nominated him for Governor she would
make campaign for him She also
spoke kindly Of Governor Morrill, and
other prominent Republicans and said
that Judge Horton was a lovely man"
Her remarks al that time were printed
but they did not attract particular at
tention. for the ''uncrowned ouaen"
has been coqueting with the Republican
party ever since LewellinE fired her
from the presidency OF the state board
of charities.
1t is positively known that Mrs. Lease
mates Lewelling. and her friendly atti-
tude toward him now is viewed with
suspicion. When he removed her from
the board Of charities she abused him
like a pickpocket, questioning his mo-
ilves and methods and announcing that
II the PopuliSts renominated him she
would leave the state.
dwellings letter Of removal was a
bitter pln for Mrs. Lease. and. although
she refused TO swallow fl. she made
q very WY face and said a lot of things
about him which have been preserved.
Here is dwellings letter:

On June 8, 1924, a dinner was given
to George HILBERT, the chairman Of the
West India Merchants Of London, by the
members of that body, and several of the
leading ministers then serving under
Lord Liverpool, the Tory premier, were
present. In the course of the proceed
ings, says contemporary account, IAN
observation which fell from Mr.. Can
ming was that the spirit of the present
government, as that Of all governments
ought to be, was essentially conserva-
tive"
This appeared in John Bull Of June
.8, 1924 page 1888, and the apt word was
so obviously remarked that it was itali
cized. Years passed, and Canning had
died before the word is again to be met
in English politics, but ON March IA.
1920, Charles Greville noted in his dia-
~ that "Herries told Hyde Villiers that

that they never could act together. -
"The Greville Memoirs, volume /, part
1, page 1879.
The word, employed by both Canning
and Herries, was thus 'in the air" be-
fore it was given in The Quarterly, and
this accords with statement made in
the course Of correspondence on the
"Etymology Of the Word Conservative"
which appeared in The Standard at the
end Of October, 1882, wherein it was
said to have been first used in 1929,
during the closing controversies upon

An Honest Sergeant.

A military story comes from ireland.
A noncommissioned officer, entering a
barraek gate in Dublin. was mistaken
by tho fresh one" on sentry 60. who
Immediately saluted him. The noncom-
missioned officer, unaware that his colo
mel was just behind, returned the
salute, thing not permissible under
the circumstances. Arrived at his quar-
ters, he was surprised to find an order
for him to attend before the colonel.
On presenting himself he was asked
how he came to return the salute, know
ing full weM he was not entitled to it.
Not in the least embarrassed. he
promptly answered. "Sir, always re-
turn everything l am not entitled to. :"
The colonel, taken aback by his ready
wit, 1anghiagly dismissed him
