charge of robbery in the first degree for
having held up and robbed Louis Levin at
the point of a revolver March 10 last, was
given sentence of five years at hard labor
in Saltwater yesterday. The court made it
very short, stating that the crime was
vicious one, but in view of the fact that he
had been frank in telling just how the crime
was done and not excusing himself, he would

the course Of his remarks, Senator Proctor
said: 1.-THE influence OF Presidential cleo
ton upon the business interests OF the coun-
try was not contemplated by the trainers OF
the Constitution. They thought OF the Ex-
ecutive and his election only in relation to
the government they we're forming They
COuU6mplaCeu tu6 Executive rs n IaCUOr In
that government. They did not consider
the effect upon the governed OF the process
Of electng him. To-day, in manner I'M
foreseen by them, the Presidential elections
raise the utmost havoc with all business in
terests. The unrest and lack OF confidence
In business circles truthfully reflect the I'M
certainty of the result Of each election.
Furthermore, the time taken up by a cam
paign and the expense incident thereto are
matters of no small moment aside from the
disastrous effects upon business interests. I
realize that campaign funds are enveloped
in haze Of obscurity, and that in speaking
OF them am treading upon delicate ground;
but 1t is safe TO say that the expense OF
campaign has increased many fold in the
last twenty years. Grants first campaign
fund Is said to have been $50, 900. but now
it would require more figures to express the
amount devoted to campaign purposes"

mont and others. the bill was killed by
vote of 1853 to 102.
