The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1904-07-20
Hon. Philip s. Pugh.

AS a candidate for Judge of the
District composed of Lafayette and
Acadia parish Mr.. Pugh comes before
the people not as a self constituted
candidate but running truly at
the solicitation of his friends. If Mr..
Pugh is not we'll known in Lafayette
parish it is made up by the esteem in
which he is held in Acadia, and if he
is fortunate enough to be nominated
at the primary to be held by the Demo-
cratic party on September 10, and the
indications r now that he will have
no opposition, the people of Lafayette
will have an opportunity of adding to
the esteem in which he is there held.
We speak in this tOne from the petit
tiOns addressed to him by the Acadia
people, copies of which we produce
! below.
AS a lawyer Mr.. Pugh has been
before the public since 1883, during
which time he has practiced law at
TerrebOnne parish and Texas and
Crowley since 1893, where he is now
associated with Hampden Story Esq.
In politics Mr.. Pugh is a staunch
Democrat and as such served Acadia
in Constitution of 1898 and the Legis-
lature from 1900 to 1904. An able
lawyer, conscientious and a hard
worker we predict that he will wear
the judicial ermine with distinction
The following petitions speak for them
selves:
