THEY THINK WELL OF
BAILEY in ACADIA
PARISH.
st. Landrian's NamestIs a
Household Word There,
Says the Crowley Signal.
st. Landry and Acadia have always

a~
stood together when one Of their sons
was a candidate for Office.
In fact these two parishes have
always voted as one, there seeming to
Be only an imaginary line separating
them.
1t looks like theres will be j repeti-
ton Of their past pleasant relations
at the approaching election.
Listen to the Signal:
j. ]. Bailey, who has entered the
race for congress to try conclusions
with the member who has represented
the district since it was first organ
lied in 1902, is not an unknown
quantity in this section. Ii fact, the
name Of Jim Bailey is about as fa-
miliar to the people Of southwest
Louisiana as that Of any public man
in the state, and there are few Of
the states public men who are more
popular.
Jim Bailey is distinctly q south
Louisiana product, for he was born
ii old st. Landry when Acadia was q
part Of that parish, and he made his
debut as a law practitioner here il
Acadia. Although d young man, few
in the stats have had a wider range
Of experience than he. He is one Of
the leading lawyers Of the State and
is q practitioner at the bar Of ST.
Landry where there are none but
first class lawyers; be served four
years in the legislature and was
recognized as the ablest debater in
the house; he ran for lieutenant gov
ernor two years ago.
Mr.. Bailey is a brilliant orator, a
deep thinker, a mar Of well balanced
mind and has the ability and natural
attributes that 60 to make up 2 good
legislator. He is a splendid cam
paigner and will give a good account
Of himself before the primaries roll
around.
Mr.. Bailey has a host of friends
in this parish who have supported
him in previous campaigns and are
ready and anxious to rally TO his sup
port again. That he will polls heavy
vote in Acadia goes without say
ing and his friends are confidently
predicting that he will carry the par
ish By a large majority. He has a
faculty Of arousing great enthusiasm
among his followers, as was shown in
the last state campaign when be ran
for ~linYfouant govnrnoy
Mr.. Bailey will speak in Crowley
sometime during the campaign and
will be given . rousing reception
here. His admirers in Crowley are
numerous and he is assured Of a
strong support here. Mr.. Bailey is
receiving much encouragement all
over the district and firmly believes
that he will be elected. There are
others who concur in the opinion"

In the meantime the Emergency hos.

The resolution directing an investi-

reports in newspapers of the police
methods employed in the Sayler MUIR

was not one with which the federal

painters craftsmanship that it stands out from
the other portraits, not all of which meritori
likenesses or as evidences of genius in the
artist.
In the presidents new Office room in the White
House, one that is included in the new part of the
Office building, there are today two pictures only,
one of them that of his father and the other that
of Theodore Roosevelt. One is at the left and the
other at the right, and they both overlook the
scene of the presidents official activities. Some
people have said that there are strained relations
between President Taft and former President
Roosevelt. There are those who believe that proof
of this will come only when the portrait of Mr.
Tafts predecessor is superseded by the portrait of
some other man.
In the building which houses the state. war and
navy departments is housed the general staff OF
the army, of which Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood Is
the chief. The country has perhaps only vague
idea of the duties which the officials Of the gen.
eral staff perform. When the Spanish American
began it was found that the United States
because of the long period OF peace and because
of the belief that war unlikely, was in state
badly prepared to enter conflict. The army was
fairly well equipped but the National Guard regi-
ments were in bad state of preparation.
When the war was over immediate steps were
taken to prevent any like condition of affairs in
the future and under the inspiration of the then
secretary of war, Elihu Root and Of Colonel Will
lam H. Carter, now brfgadier general and assist
ant chief of staff the formation of body of Of
ficers whose duty it was to be to make in time
of peace preparation for war, begun. The
general staff of the United States army the
result and today it is most efficient body. If
war were to be declared tomorrow against any
nation of the earth, it would be- found that the
United States as far as limitations of its armed
forces would permit, would be ready to make the
most of what it has in the way of arms and
men.
OF the secrets which are held in the state, war
and navy building the most important those
which have to do with preparations for possible
conflict with every nation on earth These
