General Jastremski's record is
clean; and not once has he ever
been called upon by the people he
served TO explain any of bis acts.
Vote against Blanchard:
'(I) Because when he represen-
ted you 10 the U. S. Senate. he
deserted you in the hour of peril,
and caused panic and ruinatiou in
the sugar and rice interests of
Louisiana. Cane sold for one dol
lar and q half or was left in the
field.
You have punished another ex-
u. S. Senator for failing to pro-
tect sugar; will you now reward
Mr.. Blanchard for doing the same
thing?
az Because he opposed the
erection of the High School in his
own town of Shreveport
81 Because he is an sristocrat;
man who dislikes the mass of
the people, but who loves the
bosses. Blanchard is for Blan-
chsrd. and not for the people. On
the other hand, General Jastrem-
ski is friend Of education and of
the people.
| az Because Blanchard il not
sincere. Blanchard was opposed
to conventions. because he said he
was opposed to the election Of
State officers by means of combin-
atoms. He has violated bis own
convictions and conscience in or

the newspaper business in the Of
fee of the Meridionsl of Abbeville.
His success in this walk OF life
was recognized by the newspaper
men of Louisiana: and later, for
ten years, he was President of the
Louisiana Press Association.
At the age of II he joined the
Confederate Army, and fought %
bravely in all bloody battles Of
Virginia and Pennsylvania, that
entering the service as q boy-pri.
vate, he came home a Captain. Al
the battle of Malvern Hill, where
IS per cent. of his comrades were
left on the field, he was wounded
in the throat.
General Jastremski. for the pro
minent part taken by him in re-
deeming the State from her enc
mics in the reconstruction period
was elected by the Democrats q
Mayor of Baton Rouge in 1876
He was the first Democrat in thii

vii War. During the administra
ton of Governors Wilt aud Nc
Emery, he was Vice President Q
the Louisiana State Universit
: and Agricultural and Mechanics
College; and Governor Wilt ale
, made him Brigadier General q

In boxing never have the muscles

muscles Of the arms and hody and
legs loose and ready Tor action. Hold
your hands open. Never close your

plain. holding your iist closed strains

up q certain part of your strength un-

you should never use any physical
force until the moment arrives when
you need IL. do not have your mus

the best exhibition always comes from

the thumb. Always keep the thumb
up. and when you land a punch have
the impact and your opponents head
in such relation that your hand will
not be injured, that Is, use the first
two knuckles of the hand.
In hitting a blow never close the
hand until the bow Is landed. Tn,
reason tor this is that It strains ths
muscles of the forearm and tires tn,
boxer needlessly. Holding the hands
open not only relieves the muscles
from any unnecessary strain. bu
keeps q wider space of glove always
