BATTLESHIP LOUISIANA.

Newport News, Va, July 90. Pre-
partitions for the launching of the
first class battleship Louisiana, which
goes over on Aug. 27, are we'll under
way at the shipyards. The launching
ways are being laid, and arrangements
are being made to accommodate the
big crowd of spectators which it is ex-
pected will witness the event. The
ship is already practically in readiness
for the launching. She is So per cent
completed, over 6 per cent ahead of
her sister ship, the Connecticut, build
ing at the New York Navy yard.
The Ship yard has not been notified
of the selection of a sponsor for the
Louisiana but it is understood that
selection has been made and that the
young lady's name will be made pub
lie in the next few days.

ELECTION RESULTS.

Election day was very inclement,
the rain coming down in torrents at
times, which very much interfered
with the voters A good vote was
po!led Notwithstanding, and the clec-
tion passed off quietly. Iberia Parish
was carried by Foster aud Broussard
by small majorities, though the Dis
trict was carried by James Simon for
Judge by S. votes and Edwin Broussard
for District Attorney won out by 10
votes in the District, but not IN suffi-
cient numbers to obtain nomination,
consequently second primary will
be held on the 18th of August Below
we give the tabul ated result of the
election i'll this Parish.

LANDS OF LAKE TASSE.

The state land Office for the last
few days has been rushed with
inquiries relating to what is known
as the "dried up lake lands" of
Lake Tasse, or Spanish Lake, sit
uated within few miles of the
thriving little city of New Iberia
DR.. A q Emmer, of Iberia Parish,
spent several days endeavoring to
secure favorable action by the state
register upon declaration under
Act 81 of 1856 and Act 1874 of 1902.
relating TO pre- emption of public
lands in this state. He was met,
however, at the threshold by the
fact that these lands were not sur.
veyed aud not of record in the state
land office, and therefore not sub
ject to patent. He was allowed,
however, to file a declaration under
the provisions Of existing pre-emp-
ton laws In this course he has
been followed by other applicants.
Chief Clerk Bauer, of the Land
Office. in speaking of the matter
this morning said: "The unsur-
veyed land embraced within the
area of the meandered Lake Tasse
are said to be valuable agricultural
lands, and it is perfectly natural
to observe the rush that is being
made to secure possession of these
lands, by parties familiar with
their existence and value. The
trouble, however, is that the status
or rather legal classification Of
these particular lands is not known

concerned before the Office can pro-

Cnr Choice for District judge
JAMES SIMON.
Our Choice for District Attorney
EDWIN BROUSSARD.
THE NEXT PRIMARY.

Again are the voters of the Parish
| called upon to express their preference
for candidates for Judge of the 10Th
Judicial District. The primary of
the Goth of July, having failed to
nominate candidates for Judge and
District Attorney, a second and final
primary will be held Oh Thursday,
August 18th, 10 determine the matter.
This Journal, as heretofore, unquali-
fiedly supports that peerless citizen and
jurist, Hon. James Simon, of st. Mar
tin Parish, for Judge of this District.
We feel assured at this second primary
he will be winner for the reason,
that he received larger vote in the
district than any other and i'll this
contest he will poll all he did in the
first and in addition the solid Noor-
HES vote of two parishes will be
thrown to him, thus assuring his cleo
fion. We appeal to the sui iragans of
the parish to weigh we'll the merits
of the candidates and to vote as their
judgement and conscience dictates and
not AT the bidding of any political
leader of either parish, but carefully
and honestly use the great boon of
suffrage the freemans weapon, thus
assuring your individual expression
without domination from anyone. If
this is done we feel assured that at
the closing of the polls Mr. Simon
will be found to have been trium-
phantly elected to administer the laws
in the 10Th Judicial District. for the
next four years. Let none shirk their
duty, but everyone to the polls on that
day to exercise the highest right of
the American citizen, the election of
5he officers, who shall govern him.

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHIP.

The phenomenal run made by our
popular District Attorney to succeed
himself at the primary of the Goth
July, in which he carried both par
ishes, gives great strength to the be-
lief that he will have walk over in
the second primary on the 18th of
August. Mr. Edwin Broussard pos
sesses all the attributes for an efficient
AMI Iesoarceful officer Our voters will
do themselves honor, by casting their
votes for this peerless yonng officer, in
such numbers as to assure his election.
Alr. Broassard the present ncum-
bent will succeed himself as District
Attorney for the 18th judicial Dis.

MAYORS STRINGENT ORDERS

The following clipping from tn
New Orleans Picayune was handed IL
by Rev. a. w Turner, with reuues
that il be reproduced in our paper:
Memphis, Tenn, July 20. Club
women are in fiutter over the actor
of Mayor Williams in extending tn,
crusade against gambling to their do
mains. Responding to the demands
of the Committee of Public Safety.
the Mayor to-day gave peremptory
orders to the police that all gambling
houses should be kept closed and that
saloons should cease from troubling
from midnight to a. m., and also to
strictly observe the Sunday law.
But the Mayor went further, say
ing:
81 particularly appeal to the social
clubs and the ladies of the city to give
me their aid in this work. 1t has
been the experience and the observa-
ton of the Police Department that
most of the big defalcations that come
to its knowledge are not the result of
gambling in regular gaming places,
but are due to the gentlemen's games.
The gambler often says to the police
that it is hollow mockery to arrest
him for risking nickel while society
is permitted to play for cut glass aud
other articles worth many dollars. y
Many of the club-women were not
prepared to believe that Mayor Will
liam's appeal was intended as threat.
Mrs. r. J. Latham, Regent of Her
mitage Chapter, d. A. r., voiced
their sentiments by declaring that
she could not credit the intimatiun
that the Mayor would resent the de-
mands for closing the low dives by
going to absurd extremes.
The Tennessee Club, Chickasaw
Club, Elks' Club, the Memphis Club
aud the Knights of Columbus Club see
nothing in the Mayors attitude to
that the bylaws of the organization
prohibit gambling.
JuTy-getting in the case of George
Hanna, one of the alleged murderers
Of the deputies, will be difficult
matter. Eighty venirmen were ex-
amined today, and not juror secured
Most of the men had expressed an
opinion.
As result of the Mayors request
Tor their CO operation in suppressing
gambling, formal announcement has
been made by the Philadonia Club,
he Wednesday Casino Club and the
Distaff Club that their
ard functions announced for the en-
Iuing week have been indefinitely,

l. ABBE-vOORHIlsS FACTION.

At recent conference of the Voor.
hies-Labbe faction in st. Martinsville
held after primary election, MIR. Liable
was appointed committee of one to
wait on Mr.. James Simon and offer
him their support in the coming prim-
airy. We give publicity to this for
the reason that some Of Mr. Simon s
opponents are trying to create the i'm
preston that this strong element is
opposing the election of Mr.. Simon.
The above conclusively disposes of
any attempt to use such a rumor or
attempt to use faction for their own
interests that has already expressed
its preference for James Simon. All
OF which will be noted by the intelli-
gent voter and whose Judgment will
not in the least be affected thereby.

DARKNESS OVER THE CITY

For long time our streets have
been in Egyptian darkness, SO long in
fact, that the pat lent tax payer is be
ginning to kick, Lights in our prin-
cipal thorOughfares are prime neces-
sity for those who are compelled to go
about and as matter of protection.
Darkness is the tavorite condition for
the robbers and thieves and other bad
characters who shun the light Just
why our city should thus be left with
out this protection we are at loss to
know. If funds are insufficient to
carry on this work, let some other
public interest suffer rather than this,
cut out, lop off some expense not so
urgent and apply to the object of fur
nishing lights to the people. 1t is
disgraceful commentary on the man
agement, that with plant costing
such an immense amount of money
that not single street in the town is
lighted aud pedestrians must grope
and stagger, their way in darkness
1t this is municipal ownership,
away with it aud turn the plant over
to some enterprising energetic, re-
business man who can put
the plant to the use, for which it was
intended, that of giving light and
comfort and protection to the people.
The public are entitled to an explana-
ton on this dark subject and they de-
