In the Next Primary.

Editor CoURIER:-On the eve
of the primary which is to deter
mine who are to be candidates of
the Democratic party for the of
fees Of Clerk of Court, Coroner,
and two Representatives in the
General Assembly, permit me to
offer few brief suggestions rel
alive thereto. If the vote cast
for Gen. Jastremski at the recent
primary may be accepted as an
endorsement of the platform up
oa which that peerless Democrat
made his campaign. then the vo-
ters of st. Landry are oyerwhelm-
ingly in favor of the abolition of
unnecessary offices, the curtail-
ment of excessive fees, and the
destruction Of the appointive sys-
tenn. Two of the candidates for
the Legislature who uneqniyocal-
-ly declared themselves in favor
of these reforms were triumph
antly nominated in the first pri-
mary, and two others who firmly
stand upon the same platform
will be candidates at the second
primary These are Messrs. Pey-
ton Sandoz and A. Il. Mouton.
The first is young lawyer Of fine
ability and irreproachable charac-
ter, who. by his correct deport-
ment, earnestness. talents and
legal training would reflect credit
upon his constituency, and doubt
less prove a useful member of the
law-lnaking body. His fitness for
the position was recognized at the
| outset Of the campaign by lead
| ling supporters Of both Gen. JAS
tremski and Judge Blanchard.
who rendered him their support,
but it was not until the lists were
about to be closed that he was
finally prevailed upon to make
the race, and then only after he
had received assurances that such
support would come to him rs t.
make his success easy. This,
then, is one Of the few cases
where the Office sought the man.
| / believe that if the people give
him the Office they will Be. bene'
fited in far greater degree thar
1 he will be. The other candidate
lwho stands squarely on Gen jas
tremski's platform, and who, llks

porter of his, is that Whole-soulec
and generous scion Of noble
race, genial Major Mouton

FOR PRE- sHDENT.

We would sooner do battle for the peoples
rights than be President, although mono of our
much abused but exalted position.
On second thought since none of the leading
Democratic aspirants seem to "care" for the
office. we are willing to sacrifice ourselves on
the altar of patriotism just for the fun there il
in it. Yours for the Presidency,

P.S.-As we are doomed to obscurity, we
take time by the forelock to inform O much
abused public that campaign contributions will
be received through the Opeousas tLa.) post

We desire to call the attention
of the voters to the fact that all
must register in order to vote at
the town and State elections in
April and the general elections n
November. No past registrations
will suffice, but an entirely new
one is required. We therefore
urge upon all the performance
of this most important duty, and
not next week or month, but do
It now.

ress and advancement. For the
rest, the honored name he bears
one illustrious in the annals of
Louisiana-is in itself an assur-
ance that the people of St. Lam
day possess in him an agent and
representative whom they can inn
plicitly trust.
For Clerk, Mr.. Andrepont is a
candidate against the present in
cumbent, Mr.. Estorge. He is a
lifelong Democrat and has al
ways stood for good and econom-
ical government and the rule Of
the white man. He is just clos
ling a term in the Legislature,
where he made an excellent rec
ord as faithful guardian Of the
interests Of the people. As clerk
he will conduct the Office quite as
efficiently as it has ever been in
the past, and with an ever-pres-
ent consciousness that he is a SER
want of the people. Underline
gallant leadership Of Swords, Du-
buisson and Dossmann, the friends
of Mr.. Lafeur are rallying to the
support of Mr. Andrepont, and bis
success seems assured. 1t the
political and official records of
| the two candidates are closely
scanned and compared, if the
memory of the people is not ex-
ceedingly short, Mr.. Andrepont' 5
majority ought to be oyerwhelm

STARCH FACTORY
 IS NOW ON FIRE
HUGE PLANT IN FLAMES AND BE YoND coNTRoL-oNE FIREMAN HAS BEEN FATALLY INJURED BY FALLING.


 Oswego. N. Y.,- February 10.-The huge starch factory of the Corn Products com pany, consisting of three great buildings forming the largest establishment of the kind in the world, is threatened with=total destruction by a fire which started this evening in the chemical room.
 One of the buildings has been destroyed and late tonight the second building was ablaze, and the fire entirely beyond con trol. It is feared that the flames will spread to the Columbia flour mills and Kingsford office and malt house.
 After the city fire department and volunteer department of Kingsford's Mills had tried in vain to cope with the flames, Mayor Mansfield telegraphed for aid to Fulton and Syracuse. From the latter city three engines and twenty-five men were dispatched and joined their efforts to those of the local department
 Bremen Dougherty and Evans have been injured, the former fatally by fall ing from the roof Twenty-Five men who were at work in the buildings where the fire started barely escaped. The burning buildings contain many hundred of thous- ands of bushels of starch and corn. 1t is believed that the loss will reach mill lion dollars. Six hundred employees are thrown out of work.
