A Question for the Press

At the next session of the General
Assembly an "Act" should he passed
compelling candidates running for Of
fees to resign any public office they
may hold as soon as they have an-
nounced themselves as candidates, ex-
cept IN the case when a candidate is
to succeed himself. If such al act
would be passed by the Legislature,
those who are holding offices would
not be so willing and ever ready. to
enter the race ;for election to offices
which are more remunerative than the
one they are fortunate to hold, rs they
would fear meeting with defeat and
thereby tossing their job, but as It is
now al Office holder can run for any
Office and though he IS defeated still
holds on to his old job. Not only is
this aa. injustice but on account OF
that many q good man has not be-
come a.candidate.
For instance, il we take the con-
Test now on in the Parish of ST.. Ber-
nard for sheriff, both OF the candidates
arc holding fine positi ns, one is q
=Judgesof the Court OF Appeals while
the other is 3 District Attorney, and
it matters notwhoiis defeated stih he
will hold ON to his old position, but
If there would, be-. a law compelling
candidates to resig4 he Offices they
hold before they become candidates
Offices, no doub, they would
not be so willing and ready u make
the race and depriving other good
men froL becoming candidates.
THIS is question which should b.
taken up by The Press with the view
Of having the Legislature to pass a"
act relative to this matter al the next
session. Plaqnemines Protector.
