Where 1t Shows In Summer.

Snow. it appears, only falls in the
antarctic in summer and on those rare
occasions at other seasons when the
wind blows almost due south, and,
strange to say. these south winds are
warm winds. raising the temperature
TO 80 or 60 degrees F. They seem akin
to the snow melting Foehn winds of

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
The Candidates and Their Alignment
Jastremski Ready for the Fray
Tulane May Be an Issue.

The Picayunes correspondent at Bat
on Rouge says: The general opinion at
the capital is that the campaign is now
only waiting for the candidates for
Governor to make the formal announce
ment Of their candidacy. and then the
race for the different State offices will
be started The candidates for Gov
|ernor, with the exception of General
Leon JastremSki. show no inclination to
make announcements in regard to their
intentions, but are rather disposed to
carry on a gumshoe campaign through
bout the State General Jastremski has
come forward with the announcement of
his candidacy, and the platform upon
which he will make the race, and it is
anticipated that the other candidates
will not be long now in coming forward
with their announcements. The candi-
datrs for Lieutenant Governor are all
out, and are simply awaiting the an
nolnccmcnt of the different candidat :
for Governor before starting their &C
tive campaign. Two OF the candidates
for Lieutenant Governor, Messrs. J. J..
Bailey Of Opelousas. Representative
from St Landry parish, and J. Sheldon
Ioomcr. representing Calcasieu parish
in the House. are both making active
campaigns, but very quiet ones, for the
Lieutenant Governorship. They do not
expect to begin their active campaigns
until after the candidates for Governor
are announced. The different candidates
for the State Offices are also expected to
come ont with their announcements at
an early date, and while the race fo
Governor will greatly ovcrshadow the
race for the State Offices, interest is be
ing manifested now in the different en-
tries for the State Offices The subject
of the issue i'll the campaign is also com
ing III for some consideration and gossip
in political circles Will the issue be
tween the Louisiana State University
and Tulane University. and the efforts
of Tulane to secure recognition as
State institution, become State issue
in the campaign i'll the election of rep
reSentatveS to the General Assembly?
There is belief that it will, and the
present indications would point to this
conclusion President Craighead of Tu-
lane has i'll number of speeches of late
states that Tulane was i'll the fight for
State recognition and State support to
win; that the fight had only really be
gun, and that it would be carried before
The neNt Legislature The friends of the
Louisiana State University are likely to
take up this challenge, and on behalf of
the University try to see to it that those
who go to the Legislature are friendly
to her interests. and are not willing to
take step which they tinl would do
great injury to the University. The fight
last year before the General Assembly
between the two institutions was per-
haps the bitterest that was waged during
the entire session, and the announce
ment of the Tulane authorities that they
will carry the fight to the next LegiSla-
lure will likely cause the friends Of the
Louisiana State university to become
active.
