HON. LEON JASTREMSKI.
HIS ANNOUNCEMENT AS A CAN
DIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
He Favors Nominations by Primary
Elections-Appea:s to His Fellow
Democrats for Support.

D special 60 the Times-Denocrat
uated Baton .Rauge, La. May 80, says:
In announcing has candidacy for the
democratic nomination for governor
last week, Gen. Leon Jastremski stated
that he would, in few days, briefly
outline his position upon certain ques-
tons entering into the approaching
canvass. Accordingly. he expressed
himself today as follows:
I'VE can looks nowhere else than to-
ward the democratic party for the DOW
er to resist and eventually overthrow
the republican party, which is the party
OF centralization and unrelenting sec
ttonalisn. Every man who believes
in the form of free government created
by the founders of the American re-
public must, perforce, align himself
with the democratic party. But, to
draw to its ranks the men who are
animated by this conviction the demo-
cratic party should be governed by
rules and usages in thorough accord
with the fundamental doctrine of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
ence to this doctrine, the stronger shall
it grow in favor and power among the
masses. Hence, it should be the first
euty of every democrat who holds the
triumph of his party and it's principles
above personal advantage to lend his
influence toward the observance of this
doctrine.
The constitution of 1898 requires all
educational or property qualification
and the annual payment of a poll tax
to exercise the right Of suffrage. To
give to those duly qualified voters the
rnquestionable right to express their
preferences in the selection of the cam
didates for whom they are required to
vote when they have participated in the
primary, law governing primary cleo
tions, which guarantees entire fair
ness, Is upon our statute books. With
these safeguards in view, the democrat
ic party should afford to its supporters
all the rights of the American citizen.
That is to say, to voice their prefer
ences in the nominations of candidates,
and to elect all public officials whom
it is practicable for the people to elect.
10 ha
the retention Of methods of nominal
ton that have been repudiated in a
ma jority of the Southern states.
"Consequestly, I favor the adoption
by the Democratic State Central COM
mittee of the primary election system
for the nomination of all the candi-
dates of the democratic party.
"I have entered the canvass freely
and untramme1ed, with good will for
all and malice toward none If elected,
I pledge myself to a faithful observance
of the preceding declarations. l shall
support with the best of my energies
and abilities every practical measure or
calculated to promote the
agricultural. Industrial.
and other interests of the
state. I shall carry out the laws and
deal fairly and justly with everybody,
and with every interest in the state.
Upon these enunciations of my
views and pledges, 1 most respectfully
solicit the votes and support OF all my
fellow democrats"

Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old
feel young, and cures their ills. 1t has added
years of health and enjoyment to many life.
Use this great medicine regularly, and its invig-
Grating powers will fill your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George T. Morse, 81 years old, wrtes:-
WELLS & RICHARDSON Co.,
Gentlemen Just a word in favor of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago l had a combination of
malaria chills and fever, and grip, which con-
tinued for a year more; meantime lost in
weight about 90 pounds, trying different medi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Palne's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using little I began to improve,
gaining about a pound a week. In year
had regained 50 pounds of the lost weight and
good health, and have been we'll man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE f. MORSE.

Town and Country.

The distinction between town ara
country, between natural and artificial
life, is OF course, as we all know,
very arbitrary one. The highly compll-
Gated and seemingly artificial life
which we now lead is an absolutely
natural condition of existence, as natu-
raj as the life of Il colony of beavers III
one of their dams on Canadian river
or of IL nation of ants at work in the
garden. Evolution directs the forces
of nature in the building OF the b"aN-
crs' houses, in the construction or
birds nests and i'm the building OF the
kings palaces. There is no natural
difference between n leaf carried by
murmuring stream over transparent
depths full Of sunshine, under dark
tunnels of ovcrhanging foliage. and a
human waif whirling in human
stream over muddy pavcments. AS
lie great ocean itself is but single
drop in the immensely of creation, so
London, ovcrgrown as it is. is but an
ants nest In the surrounding country.

in truth these evil birds Of prey are

hypocrisy we undermined the body OF

deceived men OF this generation would
not be placing i'll lawyers hands every
day their most momentous interests

of their advice. Suppose we do have
our little professional attitudes and

Testing the Lunrs

Draw In as much breath as YOU con-
Vchiently can, then count as long as
possible in slow and audible voice
without drawing in more breath. The
number OF seconds must be carefully
noted. In consumptive the time does
not exceed ten and is frequently
less than six seconds; in pleurisy md
pneumonia 1t ranges from nine to four
seconds. When the lungs are sound
the time will range as high as from
twenty, to thirty-five seconds. To ex.
pand the lungs go into the air. stand
erect, throw back the head and shoul-
ders and draw in the air through the
nostrils as much as possible.
: After, having then filed the lungs
raise your arms, still extended, and
suck In the air. When you have thus
forced the arms backward, with the
chest open, change the process by
which you draw in your breath, till
the lungs are empticd Go through the
process several times day, and it will
enlarge the chest, give the lungs bet
ter play and serve very much to ward
