HITTER'S PLATFORM.

TO the Democratic voters of the
First Ward of st. Martin. | here
by announce myself az a candidate
for member of the Board of School
Directors at the Democratic Pri.
mary to be held on the LIST of Sept.
1908, and submit the following
platform for your consideration ::
Inasmucb as the people of the
Parish are already burdened with
taxation if elected member of
the School Board | shall exercise
the utmost vigilance in order that
unnecessary expenditures and ex-
travagance might be eliminated, 1
am particularly opposed to paying
the expenses of any person whom
soever seeking employment in the
Parish.
As regards the Superintendent
l shall urge upon the School board
the necessity of reducing the sala-
ry now paid as it is we'll known
that competent men can be secur-
ed in this or neighboring parishes
at lower salary. ! shall also use
my influence to secure as princi-
pals such men as are competent
aud worthy of the positions, in
preference to strangers.
As the education of our children
lie the most important duty to be
performed by citizen as 4 means
of raising the standard of citizen
ship and in order that our children
be schooled and disciplined, and
be free to aspire to lofty achieve
ments and able to cope with the
difficulties of life, l shsll use my
influence to the end that the gra-
duates of our high schools be ri.
ven the preference as assistant
teachers whenever they prove CON-
petent to hold the positions. That
would be an incentive for our boys
and girls to educate themselves.
l believe, as do many of the pa.
irons of the school, that the boys
and girls should be separated when
not under the direct supervision of
the teachers. and for that purps 9
l shall urge the building of yards,
one for the boys and one for the
girls. j. ALFRED HITTER.

MARCHING ONWARD

PITTSBURG, Nov 8.-The Ameri-
can Nut & Bolt Fastener Company, a
Pittsburg concern, making apparatus
used by railroads, has announced that
as a result of the election the wages Of
all workmen will today be raised 20
per cent, and that there would be as
much extra time as the, workmen
cared to make. President Milton Bart
ley said:
For some time Presidents Of differ
emit railroads have been assured of the
election Of Taft, and have placed or
ders with us to be hurried through as
soon as the election should be safely
over. We are now starting on this
work, and find 1t necessary to call
back all the old men we had working
before and at the same time offer to
them the wages which we paid them
in times gone by"

BALTIMORE, Nd. Nov. 6.-The
official returns from two OF the miss

noon, and the count was completed in
all but FIVE wards in Baltimore city.
The result, however is still in doubt
From the latest figures it seems GER
tain that Bryan will have six electors
and maybe seven, Taft is sure Of one.
The latter's plurality in the city. so
far as the highest elector is con-
cerned, has been swelled BY gains
over the unofficial count until it is
now certain to reach about 2.4Oo. His
plurality in the State will be about
$40.

MISSOURI.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. 6.-Supple-
mentary returns early failed to dis
turb materially Taft's lead of 1926 in
Missouri The Legislature seems
fixed at Democratic majority of six
on joint ballot, although this is sub
ject to change. What doubts now
exist relate mostly to the minor State
offices and the Constitutional amend
ments which were proposed for adop-
ton. Definite figures are lacking on
these matters, however, and it is i'm
possible to predict the results. Swan
ger (Repuhlican) for Secretary of
State, seems to have comfortable
lead for the place although his cleo
ton is not assured. Returns thus far
indicate an average Republican lead
of 1000 for the minor places. though

CHICAGO Nov 6.-The election Of

other term as Governor Of Illinois
will BE- contested by his defeated Dem
ocratic rival according to a signed
statement issued tonight by Charles
Boeschenstein. Chairman OF the Demo
cratic State Central Committee. The

Il am convinced that with a cor
rect count and an honest canvass,
Adlai E. Stevenson has a plurality OF
the vote cast in the election last Tues
day for Governor Of Illinois. We will
demand that the ballots be recounted.
The demand for recount Will be
made upon the Legislature as pro
vided for in the statutes"
Gov. Deneen's plurality is estimated
at from $4,000 TO 26,000. Ben P. At
well, Secretary to Chairman Boeschen-
stein, explained that errors in the
count had already been discovered in
several precincts, and it was calcula-
ted that If only three ballots in each /
of the 1910 voting precincts in Hi
nois were taken from Deneen and
given on recount to Stevenson the
latter would be found to have won the
election.
Returns from all the counties In the
State, official and unofficial, received
by GOV. Deneen, indicate a plurality
of 24,OOO for him.

of the outlook for marketing the pres

The National election is past, and
millions of dollars or orders for man.

feel the impetus given to other lines
of industry. While the reports indi-
cate larger amount of cotton ginned

in the history of the census bureau,
the ginning for November and the
succeeding month of the year will in
dictate heavy and continual falling

FINANCIER MORSE
GOES TO PRISON
SENTENCED TO FEDERAL PENI-
TERTIARY FOR FIFTEEN YEARS
FOR BANK FRAUDS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-From a eel
in the Tombs prison Charles w. Morse
now directs the efforts of his counsel
to secure his freedom, he having to-
day been sentenced to serve fifteen
years in the Federal prison at Allan.
ia, Ca, for misapplication of the funds
OF the Bank of North America and
making false entries in the books of
the bank.
Alfred H. Curtis, former president
of the defunct bank, who was jointly
tried and convicted with Morse, was
given his liberty today on a suspend
ed sentence.
While Morse's lawyers immediate
ly applied and secured stay of exc
cution for ten days after sentence had
been imposed, still it is probable that
Morse will remain prisoner in the
tombs until Monday, as Judge Hough
has refused to admit the financier to
bail. The Morse lawyers, late today.
applied to the United Circuit Court of
Appeals for a writ to show cause why
their client should not be admitted to
bail, and the writ was granted, but
L is not returnable until Monday;
hence It appears that Morse must re-
main a prisoner until the question of
bail is settled on that day.
