PRICE 2 CENTS PER COPY
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1904-01-09
Mr.. Girards Candidacy

We present this mOring for the
consideration of the electorate of
Lafayette the name of Mr.. Crow
fGirard as State Senator from the
senatorial district comprising the
parishes of Lafayette, ST. Martin
and New Iberia. We have placed
Mr.. Girard's name upon The Ad-
vertiser's ticket, because we be-
lieve that he will represent the
district well and ably. He is a
gentleman of high character,
ability and aggressive person
atty, and we feel convinced that
he will be a man of weight and in.
fluence in the State Legislature.
And at this time, when more
than ever before, our parish
needs a strong man in the State
Senate to care for her interests,
her public schools. and the South
West Louisiana Industrial Insti-
tute. we should elect just such a
man as Mr.. Girard, who, We
know from his past record, has
both the ability and inclination to
do so. In regard to Mr.. Girard's
candidacy we should all be united
and give him the solid support of
the parish.
In this matter of representa-
ton in the State Legislature, we
should act from the standpoint of
the best interests of the parish,
and give Mr.. Girard our support
regardless of factional feeling or
personal prejudice, if there be
any.
Besides, he is one of US, he be-
longs to Lafayette parish, and
for that reason also, knowing
that he is in every way perfectly
competent to represent US, we
should, for. the honor of the
parish, give him our solid sup
port.
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1904-01-09


The question of greatest mo-
ment to the people of Lafayette
at present is undoubtedly the
school question, and in choosing
our representatives and State
senators, care should be exer-
cised to elect men thoroughly
identified with the school inter-
ests who have the ability, weight
and influence to accomplish some
thing for the schools. With this
in view The Advertiser has given
it's support to Mr.. Jno. A. Nell
benny of iberia, and the voters of
this parish will consult their own
interests and the interests of
their children by casting their
votes for him. The; district is
entitled to two senator's, and with
Grow Girard of Lafayette and
Jno. A. McIlhenny of Iberia in
the State Senate Lafayette will
be ably represented.

The Railroad Ticket "Scalper.'

The Railroad Ticket ''Scalper."
If there is any individual under the
blue canopy of heaven that should be
avoided by all honest people, that
individual is the railroad ticket
''scalper"-and he is rightly named.
for he is a scalper right, and, as a
rule, as devoid of honor and justice
a. the devil himself. OF course there
are exceptions to the rule, but As the
old lady at HOxie Junction remarked
about certain kinds of fruit, they're
