enough TO have 10 wait at exposed points for
cars, which were not running very regularly,
found IL well nigh impossible TO get warm.
The telephone and street car service also
suffered from the cold.
Some Of the cars were warm, but in the

downtown wires, which had contracted
from the cold. broke and played havoc for
a while with the time schedule. Cars con-

THE POLITICAL STATUS.

issnr Of June llth, relative to the

| Congressman Broussard, Will

prominent men are a "little coterie

Before Newt" goes on talking
that way about men in public life
in Louisiana he should crafty n
rather universal popular curiosity
by stipnlating in what respect
he is not about the smallest
eXcrescence Of fungous growth that
has been produced by our political
machinery in its very calculated
to bring out small and manageable
men.
1t might be well for "Newt" to
point with pride to one single big act
he "done" in twenty years that
characterizes him as a big man or
politician.
Is it his REFUSAL to pay the
school tax for tho first fine public

Louisiana!
Which one Of these notable per-
formauces gives him the right to
characterize genuine Bob Broussard,
Will Foster and j. M. Foster, a |
"small corterie of politicians ~
And that, because, forsooth, they |
are exercising the democratic, the
citizens right of becoming active
in behalf Of a man they desire to
