Mr.. Lefebvre is native of Louisiana,
born in Iberville Parish, from where
he moved in his early manhood to his
present home of West Baton Rouge
and where he has continuously lived
and followed the occupation of a
farmer.
Although he is not like all other con-
gressmen and congressional aspirants,
an tAttorney at Law" yet he has
proved his ability to serve his parish
and State in public position with due
credit to himself and his constituents
III various capacities.
In 1899 he was called upon by a
unanimous vote to serve his district in
the State Senate where he early
gained influence and prominence.
He served his parish in the constitu-
tional convention of 1898, and no man
labored more earnestly than he to Sc
cure to the white people of the State
the absolute right of State, parish and
ward government.
In 1896 he was nominated and elect
ed to the position of sheriff Of his
parish which position he filed to the
entire satisfaction of hig constituents
unit 1899 Whan he was prevailed upon
to accept the position of member of
the Board of Commissioners of the
Atchafalaya Basin Levee District
where he has continuously served since
and Of which Board he has been the
honored president for the past five
years.
Mr.. Lefebvre is an ardent advocate
of the improvement, by the National
Government, Of inland waterways of
the State and district, that navfgable
streams may be offered IS a check
and barrier to exoFbitant railroad
rates and corporation. In fact the
ambition of his life seems to be de-
voted to the fostering and advance
ment of the States best interest and
especially to her agricultural and
manufacturing industries, and should
he be selected to serve his district in
the national congress there is 40 doubt
of his ability and untiring energy in
any and all questions pertaining to the
interest of his native State as well as
his unceasing watehfulness and seru-
| tiny of any bills that might be detri-
mental to OF Of doubtful interest to
| her welfare.
