POLITICAL GOSSIP.
"luiOcralie AsHaIP' Being Mentioned ior me
0fiea Of Governor Of Loulslana.

AsWell. the Autocrat, is being
urged for the race for Governor Of
Louisiana.
Aswell has neither the personality
nor ability to be Governor Of Louis
lana.
His rule as Superintendent Of
Public Education was deapotic and
wrecking.
However, the following political
dope" from the Baton Rouge cor
respondence Of the PicaYune viii
prove Of some interest:
State political gossip has been en-
liyened during the past week By the
nensi0n o. hon. u b AsweII, former
State superintendent Of education,
and nov president Of the State Norma
School, . . probable candidate fo
governor Of Louisiana. Several of
the country papers have mentioned
his name.
Mr. AsWelFs friends think that be
would make a formidable candidate
for the position. His work as State
superintendent. and even his recent
work as president Of the State Nor
nal School, has gained for him almost
a nationwide name as an educator.
He is friendly with the present adj
miniGtration and resigned the Office Of
State superintendent of education to
accept the head Of the State Normal
at Natchitoches from Governor San
ders, after the governor had forced
the resignation Of President Caldwell.
No intimation had come from Mr. As
well as to whether be would be a can
didate or not.
There are several other names be-
ing mentioned along with Mr.. As
wells as il the list Of probables.
Speaker Garland Dupre is considered
in a receptive mood. Jim Bailey is
not saying anything, but bis friends
are urging the honor for him. The
name Of Judge Charles ". Porter, of
Natchitoches, comes mp every time q
prohibition campaign is mentioned,
and it is considered practically GER
tain that he will be a candidate if the
prohibition sentiment is widespread.
Governor Sanders is always figured
by the politically wise as a candidate
himself, if the constitutional amend
ment which at present prevents him
from succeeding himself can be re-
moved. The governor has ambitions
to 60 to the United States Senate.
Whether be win run for the Senate
during the next campaign or the cam
paign four years hence depends
largely upon events as they shape
themselves during the next two years.
The governor says that right nov he
is not running for the United States
Senate Of any other Office, but is
building good roads.
