The election of a Senator will again be
used to consume the time and attention
OF the law makers.

The call for the special session
OF the General Assem- bly, of the
State OF Louisiana was issued by
the Governor last week, as anti.
cipated, and as mentioned in this
paper last week. The pur poses are
given in six different paragraphs,
butresOlveS itself tuc0rrecting er
rors made by those who sought
legislation forthe City of New Or
leans for the purpose Of hoating
the swereage bonds on which
Behrman and l. D. Moore made
such a fizzle.
The most important matter
however will be the election BY
the Legislature for the second
time of successor to the late
Senator McEuery; the first cleo
tion occurring within ten days
after his death, at which time
Governor Sanders at his own su-
licitation was elected, accepted,
and afterwards realizing that
the Lieutenant Governor was
not safe individ ual to whom be
could trust his (Sanders) politi-
cal future, he reconSidered and
declined the honor aud appointed
Judge Thornton. When it was
learned that the appointment
was illegal a pretext was found
for calling the General Assembly
in special session at a heavy ex-
pense to the state to correct the
blunder and save Governor San

as the Governor has given the or
being completely under ms DID,
mination will do his bidding. Il
it does not, he will accept the Of
fee himself rather than allow an
opponent who will not resign
before 1915 to go in. Judge
Thornton supposedly goes in m.
til 1915, but the general belief is
that he will resign in timef for the
next election. There is also
mention of Congressman Pujo
aspiring to the vacancy. He
would make good. If the Cover

since last July-.but he failed.
The legality OF the special session
is being questioned by able lawyers
throughout the state, due to the
fact that thirty days notice should
be given for the enactment Of any
special or local legislation. There
are however dissenting opinions on
the matter.
The senatorial question. from re-
ports, may produce a deadlock in
order to force Governor Sanders to
accede to the election Of another
senator or accept the trust himself.
The purpose OF the insurgents. and

Mayer Behrman denounced and repudia-

meeting of Mothers Clubs in
conjunction with the people of
the city and although advertised
but twenty four hoursprevious to
its being held was largely atten-

Mayor Behrman together with
some one hundred and fifty city
employees had the nerve and au-
dacity to attend the meeting
with the avowed purpose of tur-
ming it into a ratification of their
actions, but for once they reck.
oned without their hosts, as the
meeting carried out the purpose
for which it was held and denoun
ced in the most scathing and
denunciatory terms the med
ding of the Mayor and his poll
tical lieutenants. and deservedly
rendered unto them what was
their just deserts.
The Mayor was allowed to ex-
plain his position, which evident
~ failed to have any effect and

garded. The meeting was all
one sided and hopelessly against
the high handed methods en-
ployed by the arrogant aud swell
headed $4,000 Mayor OF New
Orleans. If ever hs WAS admin

rishes and only saved by the vote In
New Orleans; il country hed voto9

Exposition amendments defeated In hfteen
parishes, and carried by only TWO ma
jority In Calcasicu.

The Constitutional Amend
ments were not all easy sailing
| in the country, according to off
cial returns. Had the country
voted as strong as it had in past
elections a few OF the amend
ments would have been showed
under. La fifteen parishes the
two exposition amendments were
defeated, while in the parish oi
Calcasieu they only carried by a
slight margin of two votes. In
the country parishes seven OF
the amendments were absolutely
defeated and had it not been for
New Orleans heavy vote OF
live and dead regulars they
would have met natural deaths.
The amendments that did not
appeal to the country parishes
were the following: The amend
ment relating to warehouses IN
New Orleans. No. 4 on the ticket;
No. z, creating assistant attorney

people wanted the numerous
