NOT MUCH SHOW
For the Plain, Ordinary Mule i,
New Orleans, the Automo=
bile Owns the Earth

| They have an amusing way of
doing things in New Orleans. A
few days ago a delivery wagon
whose motor was a plain, ordi-
nary mule, was standing in front
of down town store, the driver
occupying the seat, but not ag-
gressively doing any particular
thing. Along came an automo-
bile. which screeched just as it
came within view Of the plain or
binary mule. This was startling
and made him rear up to get a
better line on the obstreDerous
affair. When he saw it bearing
down on him, putting and blowing
worse thana strenuous candidate,
it was too much for even the
nerves or courage Of a plain. or
binary mule, and he incontinently
fed, fled for his salvation. And
the driver, now awake to some
thing doing, tried persuasion and
tugging: but the mule was deaf
to argument or reason-he con-
tinued to put the landscape be-
tween himself and the noisy,
threatening behemoth. One Of
the city's finest boldly entered
the breach. braved the terror
stricken mule and calmed his
perturbed and agitated spirit,
then to relieve the strain upon
his own feelings, he hauled the
driver before Recorder Marmon-
get, who fined him for reckless
driving. Evidently the Crescent
City has developed such a bump
Of progressiveness that the mule
is a back number and his owner
a moss back. Only automobiles
have the right of way and such
antedated encumbrances as a
mule must get off the earth when
an automobile parades.

The Board Of Directors of the
Bank of Lafayette held meeting
Wednesday and elected Mr.. c..
O. Mouton, of the firm Of Mout ton
Bros, president to succeed Mr..
Grow Girard: who, because of
his other business affairs, found
it impossible to devote the neces-
sary time to his duties as presi-
dent, a position he has held
since the organiza ton Of the
bank. Under his manag ement
the bankhas prospered and grown
until at this meeting Of the Board
it became necessary to increase
the capital stock from $25OOO. to
$4,000. The bank has now
reached the point where it de-
mands the exclusive attention of
the president. and this Mr..
Girard felt he could not give,
therefore he resigned. His sue
cessor, Mr.. Mouton is a prom
inent and successful business
man, and under his management
a continued increase in the busi-
ness of the bank may beexpected.

JASTRETSK! RALLY.
Gen. Jastremski, Judge Biackman
and Senator Jonas Address the
Meeting.
All the Speakers Emphasize That
Principles, Not Ten, Are the IS
sues Before the Public,

sues Before the Public,
About four hundred people,
the most of them from the va
rious wards of the parish, at
tended the Jastremski rally Sat
urday The crowd seemed to be
fully in sympathy with the utter
ances Of the different speakers
as was testified by freque ap-
plause. The candidates devel-
oped nothing new in their
speeches as they were practically
the same they have been making
in various parts of the State.
During the meeting the Sontag
Military Band discoursed sweet
music.
About 11o'clock the Jastremski
Club of Carencro. about thirty
strong, and the local camp of Con
federate veterans formed in line
and headed by the Sontag Band
marched to the Cottage Hotel
and escorted Gen. Jastremski to
the courthouse.
On assembling there, it was
suggested that the room was not
large enough to accommodate all
present and an adjournment was
taken to the green in front of the
courthouse, the speakers occu-
pying the porch. DR.. FL. Mayer
called the meeting to order and
proposed Mr.. Gustave Judice as
chairman of the meeting He
was elected, with Prof. r. c..
Greig and DR.. J. 2. Francez as
secretaries. All the signers of
the call for the meeting were
made vice-presidents.
DR.. Mayer in a brief address
explained his position on State
issues and spoke of the life, char
acter and services Of Gen. Jas
tremski, paying him a high
tribute. He then introduced
Judge Blackman in a few appro-
pirate words, who made an elo-
quent and forcible address.
Judge Blackman began by ex-
planning that he was taking an ac-
tive interest in the State cam
paign, because he was interested
as citizen, and because every
thing he had received, came from
the masses and not the bosses.
He had nothing to gain except
what every citizen would gain,
and that was freedom. This was
a fight against the bosses, and
factional politics should be laid
aside. Principles should be voted
for without reference to local is
sues. The Republicans had put
the enormous power of appoint
ment into the hands of the COVER
nor and the system had been re-
tanned by the Democrats. This
had built up the machine, "
which is now trying to perpetuate
itself. He had approved of the
conditions as long as they we're
necessary; but now the occasion
no longer existed, and he was
against it. The principles Of de-
mocracy we're involved in the
present campaign, the right of
the people to elect and control
their officers. Gen. Jastremski
represented the people in this
fight and therefore he was sup
porting him. This was one of the
most remarkable fights in his
tory; for without a leader and
without money, the people have
taken up the banner and are TAX

stating that he was willing to let
the people elect their immigra
ton commissioner and registrar
of the land office: but was dis
trustful of their ability to elect all
their officers. He represented
Blanchard as the candidate of the
bosses aud the candidate Of the
"machine," who stood for the
practice Of choosing the go,>rnor
in the ST. Charles hotel by rarty
bosses, who gave their support
for what there WAS in it. He said
that he was making the fight for
Jastremski for the sake OF the
children, the young men w had
no chance for aspiration except
they bend the knee to the bosses.
At the close of Judge Tlack-
mans speech, DR.. Mayer elo-
quently introduced Gen. JAS
tremski, who spoke in French.
In the afternoon the General
made second address in En-
glish. He said in part, that in
the morning he had spoken in
French and now was speaking in
English, and he thought owing to
the fact that Louisiana had been
settled by different nationalities,
it was well for the governor of the
State to be able to converse with
the citizens of the State in their
own tongue. Blanchard had been
claiming superiority in various
things, but in this he was sure he
had the advantage. He also spoke
of his connection with the agri-
cultural department, emphasiz-
ing the need Of a governors
knowledge of the chief industry
of a people. Here again Blan-
chard could show no superior ity.
He also urged his experience as a
private secretary to the governor
in which he learned the affairs of
State. His military record fitted
him also for the Office, as the
governor is commander in chief
of the militia. Blanchard claimed
everything, but these he could
not claim. Nor could he justly
claim to be the original primary
man. In May he had called upon
Blanchard and other candidates
to unite with him in request to
the State Central Committee to
submit their candidates. to pri-
mary. Blanchard looked upon
him as presumptive, evaded the
issue. and tried to keep things
quiet, so that the program de-
cided upon three years ago could
be carried out, by calling a con-
vention, and at meeting at the
st. Charles nominate Blanchard.
He had spoiled the plan, and it
was due to his persistence that
the primary was ordered and the
people restored to power Blan-
chard was called the ''logical'
candidate, which he presumed
meant the bosses candidate,
whose election meant the perpe-
tuation of the machine. Blan-
chard had charged him with be-
ing a beneficiary of the appointive
system. He couldn't be a bene-
ficiary of any other system. as it
was the only one we had; but he
had never been charged with.
