Little Interest Shown in Congressional

The Democratic primary election
held Tuesday was the occasion or III
tie or no excitement and not much IN
terest. It seemed to be a foregOne
conclusion that Mr.. Puio would carry
the precinct by a large majority, ana
there was but little feeling of opposl-
ton against him. Owing also to the
fact that a number of threshing ma
chimes we're busy in the vicinity, the
country vote was very small. The TO-
tai vote cast was only l0l as against
236 vote cast two years ago. Tuesday
vote was divided among the contend
inc candidates as follows; Pujo it,
Bailey 10, Reid 8. This as against a
vote two years ago of Pujo s. and
Polk, Isl. Little interest in the cam
paicn has been felt here from the be-
ginning, only one rally, that being
for Puio, having been held. Neither
Mr.. Bailey nor any of his friends ap
nealed to Welsh voters for their SUP
mort, and by his untimely remarks
regarding Parish division, Mr. BAL
ley alienated many of the friends tina
he did have here.
