LAST WORD TO VOTERS.

Next Tuesday takes place
the Democratic primary to
select candidates for the va
rious offices. This election is
general all over the State.
In the Parish of st. Mary
we are to vote for a candidate
for District Judge, and a can.
didate for District Attorney.
There are no more import
ant officials in a District than
the Judge and a candidate
for District Attorney, for
upon them largely devolve the
peace and tranquility Of the
community. It is for this
very reason that the BANNER
wishes to call the attention
of. the voters to the impro-
priety of essaying a change
in the main functionary,

ministration of the affairs of
the Office have been eminent.
ly successful and fair towards
all litigants and in conso-
nance with the best rules in
law and justice.
In Judge A. G. Allen the
people OF st. Mary have had
a highly competent and
trustworthy official, and the
voters should show their APP
probation of this fact by
giving him a highly deserved
endorsement by casting their
votes for him.
His reelection or selection
AS the party's candidate
carries with it the absolute
conviction that in his hands
the judicial affairs Of our
district will be safely en-
trusted. He has always
made a good official, free
from bias, and conscientious
in the discharge of his du-
ties, and we feel confident
that he will be the over.

voters of the District. The
BANNER sOlicits and will ap-
preciate the assistance of
every voter in his behalf. i

TO THE PUBLIC.

FRANKLIN. La, Aug. %, 1908.
In view of the fact that it had
been freely circulated Throughout
this Parish that a large majority
of the St. Mary Bar is opposed to
the nomination and reelection OF
Judge Allen as his own success
sor, we, the undersigned mem
bers of said bar, in order to cor
rect said report. and without in
any manner seeking to dictate to
the voters their choice, hereby
state that, in the approaching
election, judy Allen is our choice
for nominatioi. and reelection.
We feel that we can commend
him as an honest and upright
citizen and an able and incor-
ruptible jurist, who has performed
we'll and faithfully the delicate
and responsible duties which have
devolved upon hin, as Judge of
this Court for many years.
We believe that ne has sought
to administer the laws justly and
impartially, and to mete out even
handed justice to all classes of
litigants appearing before the
Court.
AS he has proven to be an up
right Judge and an incorruptible
public servant, who has devoted
the best years of his life to public
interest, We see no reason why he
should not again be honored by
the people Of his nn'ivo parish.
