Morehouse Clarion.
We received q call from Hon. j.
E. Ransdelt, of East Carroll, a can
didate for Congress, last Wednesday.
Mr.. Ransdell was here in the inter-
est of his candacy, he having been
recently endorsed by his parish for
the position. We found Mr.. Rams
dell an excellent gentleman and one
we'll fitted for the position to which
he aspires. He was District Attor-
ney for number of years of his ju-
dicial district, which position he
filled with credit and distinguished
ability. Mr.. Ransdell is compar-
atively young man, in the full
prime and vigor Of young manhood.
Madison journal.
The candidacy Of Hon. Jos. E.
Ransdell for Congress, has been
most favorably received in the allu-
vial parishes Of the district. The
editor of the Journal has talked to
quite number of people in regard
to Mr.. Ransdel's candidacy, and, SO
far, has found all factions here unan-
imous in supporting Mr.. Ransdell.
Mr.. Ransdell is well known here,
and his ability is fully recognized.
He is regarded as q hard worker and
the voters of Madison seem conf
dent that his election would place in
Congress a man whose energy and
ability would soon place him in the
front ranks of useful congressman.
Another thing that will make Mr..
Ransdell most formidable candi
date is his well known interest in
levee matters. He has made an in
valuable man on our levee board,
and it seems to be the desire of the
voters in Madison to enlarge his
sphere of usefulness by honoring
him with the position now vacant in
this district.
1t seems that Tensas and Concor-
dia think well Of his candidacy, as
evidenced by the utterances of the
press of these parishes. With the
alluvial parishes unanimous in his
support aud pulling together, it
looks very much like Mr.. Ransdell
will be our next congressman.
