The Primary Law.

It il. now generally admitted
that, the Primary Election law noE
in force 10 this State will have to
pe repealed or amended. The facts
are, as demonstrated by experience,
that il le too expensive and too
unsatisfactory in every respect.

not that the expenses of all prl-
mary elections should be paid out
Of the public funds. The election
expenses of Ibis (De soto) parish
have been greater within the past
three months than has the entire

seem rather common.
Now if you knew of a store
where you could make Your

pOrtunity. We have acted as

the suit is finished, ana You try
il on, if you, or We, can detect
anything wrong about the suit
