ed the degree of ID. ID. from Nashota.

tor bishop of the diocese of Quincy
Aug. 6, 1901, and in the October fol-

Board from the Second District
appears in this issue Of the Clarion.
Mr.. Guilbeau has been valued
member of that body for the past
fourteen years, and Superintendent
of Public Schools for this parish
for two terms. The fiourishing
condition of the schools in the par
ish speaks well for his management
of the system, and will no doubt
go far towards securing for him
the suffrage of his constituents.
And then he has been especially
jealous in behalf of his district,
and by his careful and judicions
management that district today Is
in financial condition that would

Dear air: Having announced my
candidacy for the tffien OF Repre-
sentative from this Parish in the
State Legislature, desire CO make
known to the people, through your
valuable Journal, my position aud
views regarding questions of pub
lie interest, Ia which, as l~xisla-
tor In the event Of my election, I
might have TO deal and which /
set forth briefly as follows:
First and foremost, believe In
the advancement of public eduea-
tion in this State, and shall favor
and support any measure tending
toward the betterment of our pub
lie school system.
believe In the pensionIng and
support by the State of aged and
infirm Confederate Veterans, and
shall heartily support any measure
which will more literally and
adequately provide for the comfort
and care of the old soldiers.
believe in an economic ad-
minlstration of the States affairs,
and for that reason / shall favor
the abolition of sinecures, or un-
necessary offices, SO many of which
to-day exist in every branch OF our
State government.
I regard the vast appointive
power OF the Governor As opposed
To Democratic doctrine, Ia direct
contravention of its principles and
traditions, and destructive of the
sovereignty OF individual citizen
ship. / shall, therefore, favor any
MEASURE providing sor the cnrtail-
mentsof the appointiye power Of
the Governor, and the enactment
of q rigid primary election law.
Asking that you give the above
