SO of the Acts of the General AS
sembly for the year 1908, or from
holding said election as directed BY
said act, and as ordered by the Cover
nor of this State, in his proclamation
ordering said election, on the ground
that said act is unconstitutional, null
and void; that upon exparte order,
without notice to any Of the parties
in interest they obtained from Hon.
Yves Andrepont, Clerk of Court, a
preliminary order Of injunction, in
hibiting the holding of said election,
and this Notwithstanding the fact,
that it was well known to the said
Yves Andrepont, Clerk, that the Hon
orable William P. Edwards, acting
Judge for the parish Of st. Landry,
would be in the town of Opeiousas on
The day following that on which said
order for injunction was presented.
sYour petitioners aver that the
Board Of Supervisors of Election of
the parish Of st. Landry, composed Of
Henry Lastrapes, Jr., Registrar Of
voters, Edward Loeb and j. j. Stage;
charged by law with the duty Of TAX
ing such steps as are necessary to
hold said election, refuse to take any
steps to dissolve said injunction in
time for the holding of same and as
your petitioners believe, and 50 be-
lieving aver, have conspired with said
plaintiffs in said injunction proceed
ings to permit the day fixed by law
for the holding Of the said election
to pass by and in this manner to de,
feat the Legislative will.
E.That said Yves Andrepont, Clerk,
when he granted the preliminary
order of injunction on exparte show
ing, and said III. L. Swords, Sheriff,
when he filed his appearance in said
cause, well knew that the issues there
in involved, could not be finally de.
cided by the Court of last resort until
after the date Of the said election.
That Notwithstanding their legal
right so to do neither the members
of the said Board Of Supervisors OF
Election, nor said NJ. E. Swords.
Sheriff, nor Raymond Breaux, Pub.
Usher, will make application to this
Court to dissolve said injunction on
bond, though repeatedly requested SC
to do BIZ your petitioners, who have
rendered them bond il any amount
they may desire, to protect them il
the premises.
Petitioners aver that they have
interviewed in said injunction pro,
ceedings to resist the plaintiffs ii
their demands and have a right Il
dissolve said injunction on bond and
that the exercise Of said right is made
apparent by the evident understand,
ing between the plaintiffs and de-
PENDANTS to do nothing in said cause
until after the day fixed for said cleo
ton.
That unless said injunction il dis
solved on bond before the 18th day
of April, your petitioners will suffer
irreparabIe injury. Wherefore prem
ises considered, petitioners pray that
