Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Little by little the political at
mospherr is surely cleaning up.
Lately. we were informed that our
distinguished young Lawyer and
friend Ernest Delahoussaye was a
candidate for the State Senate.
We understand, that he has so ar.
ranged his batteries, that made
his nomination clincher. His
| friends of the Parishes of Iberia
and Lafayette are numerous and
promise him clear majority.
Useless for us to speak OF the Pa
IRISH of St. Martin, as with his pc
litical backing here, he certainly
can carry it. We are also advls
ed that Hon. A. A. Morrow, viii
be a candidate for the Office Of
Clerk OF Court. de Is very wei
and favorably known, not only il
this Parish, but through love-
Louisiana, as progressive anG
intelligent farmer. He is the
President of the St. Martin Pa
IRISH Fair Association. He hal
devoted much of his time and mo.
ney to raise the standard agricul
ture. He will be strongly sup
ported by the farmers. He is
good, clean, honest and up rigb
citizen and gentleman.

pupil. this securing his. or her, rapid ad-
vancement. This is very important
point that should be considered by
young men and women in selecting a
school.
Prof. Walden claims that he can and
does save to the pupil from $50 to 800,
on complete course. That his students
are thoroughly trained and are meeting
with success in securing and holding
positions. is evidenced by the splendid
endorsements from students, bankers,
congressman and leading business men,
from Lake Charles, Louisiana and other
Southern States.
With such we'll equipped business
