It is a source OF satisfaction that
Glynn Of ST. Tammany showed under
Dubroea OF West Baton Rouge for
member Of the state board Of equaliza-
ton from this district. One is a good
representative of intelligent, independ-
ent and high-minded citizenship; the
other has long been identified with the
species OF bossism and ring politics
that has grown I'D be unpopular, even
in ring-ruled Louisiana. The sixth
district Republicans did not care to
make q nomination for this place be-
cause they anticipated the success OF
Mr.. Glynn in the Democratic primary
and were willing to intrust their inter-
ests as property holders and tax pay
ers in his hands.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.
John Deb1ieux of Iberville Chosen as
Candidate for Congress from
the sixth District.

S$~A-~AASe~SSS
the Sixth District.
The sixth district Republican con-
gressional executive committee met at
Baton Rouge on Monday last, the 3rd
instant, pursuant to adjournment, for
the purpose Of taking such action as
might be found necessary for conduct
ing the primary election or otherwise
nominating congressional candidate
in accordance with the resolutions
adopted by the committee at its last
preceding session, August 20, 1916.
In the absence of the president and
vice president of the committee, J. z.
Dunlap OF Iberville, holding the
proxy of S. o. Leblanc, was selected
as chairman pro tenn, and Secretary
E. j. Barrow called the roll, with the
result that fourteen members were
recorded present in person and by
proxy.
The secretary reported that John
Debliepx of lberville parish was the
only candidate who had complied with
the law on the subject and with the
resolution of the committee requiring
notice of intention to be fled with the
secretary on or before Sept. at noon.
Mr.. Deblieux was therefore unani-
mously declared the nominee Of the
Republican party for member of the
sixtieth congress from the sixth con-
gressional district OF Louisiana, and
it was resolved that notification
committee, consisting of w. j. Behan,
ex-offlcio chairman, Henry Mccall
and e. W. Robinson be constituted
to convey to the candidate formal
notice Of his nomin alton.
An address to the people of the
sixth district, setting forth the issues
of the campaign and the merits of the
Republican candidate, was prepared
and adopted. The address is printed
elsewhere in this paper and will be
found worthy of perusal by all who
desire to be informed of the respective
claims Of the opposing political
parties to popular confidence and
support.
The chairman and secretary of the
district committee were authorized to
draw up process verbal of the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Deblieux as acandidate
for congress and file the document
with the secretary of state.
On motion, duly seconded. it was
resolved that, inasmuch as the pri-
mary election law places the authority
TO direct the selection Of a new COM
mittee for the district in the hands of
the state central committee, the pres
ent district committee shall hold over
until the Republican state committee
takes action. The committee then
adjourned, subject to call.

Weather and Crop Notes.

The subioined paragraphs, quoted
from this weeks Ascension letter to
the Louisiana Planter, present fair
summary Of the local situation as to
| weather and crop conditions:
'tHeavy showers fell at intervals
Sunday and Monday afternoons, but
| with these exceptions the weather OF
the past week has been dry and de-
eidedly warm. The coolish spell men
toned in this CORES ondence last
week was Of brief duration and not
sufficiently loW-down in temper ature
| to exercise any appreciable influence
IN retarding the growth Of the cane
crop, which is making fairly satisfae-
tory progress except in localities that
have been sighted by the recent rains.
&c. A. Kellar, a well-knoWn sixth
ward planter, reports that caterpillars
are ravaging his cotton, and that in
the territory extending from the lower
line of Bowden plantation to the vii
lage of DarroW-in which there are
appro1im atelys 1900 acres of cotton
the insects have appeared and are
causing much damage. Reports from
other sections of the parish are to the
effect that not a caterpillar is in sight,
SO the locality just mentioned seems
to be the only one infested by the pest.
MIR. Kellar predicts that the yield OF
cotton will be seventy-fve per cent
larger than that obtained last year,
despite the caterpillars. This would
indicate that the crop is SO far ad-
| vanced towards maturity that the raw
ages of the worms will be much less
harmful than would have been the
case had their baneful work been COM
menced earlier ia the season.
sit will be recalled that in the AS
cension letter printed in The Planter
of July q B. ]. Bingay, a prominent
planter and merchant residing in the
sixth ward, was quoted as reporting the
appearance in his neighborhood of q
number of small white butterflies, SIM
liar to the species which are the pro-
genitors and forerunners of the de-
structiVe cotton caterpillar. Mr.. Bin
gay said that the early advent Of the
worm was TO be apprehended, and the
result has vindicated the accuracy of
his observation and judgment.
aAdvices from the New River region
Of the parish indicate that the cotton
crop has made no material advance
since early in July, but there has been
no change OF conditions that would
warrant any withdrawal of the predic-
tion that the present crop will be a
record breaker for Ascension.
"Rice-cutting is the order OF the day
on the plantations devoted to the pro-
duction OF that cereal, with a general
complaint of short labor supply. Bar
ring bad weather and other misfor-
tunes Of which rice-raisers are too
often the luckless heirs. the pending
harvest will be one of the most prolific
and profitable that has ever rewarded
the labors OF the rice producers of the
Mississippi and Lafourche valleys. !"

Apropos of our guess that Sam
Robertson would be re-nomin ated, the
opening of the guessing school which
we had contemplated establishing will
be indefinitely postponed. This will
no doubt De disappointment to the
Ascension enthusiasts who predicted
that this parish would give big ma
jority TO Favrot.
Sam Robertson has done nothing to
speak OF In congress for the past
twenty years, according to Judge
Favrot's friends. The judge will do
very much less, according to Sam
Robertson's friends. The only solu.
tion OF the difficulty, therefore, is to
elect John Deblieux, who can and will
do more for the district in two years
than an Democratic member OF the
