An Analysis of Tuesdays Vote
On Parish Division.

A careful ANALYSIS Of the vote cast
on parish division last Tuesday, re
veals several interesting facts IN con-
nectiOn Herewith.
One OF the accusations frequently
made by our division friends, is, that
"diyision would carry il it were not
for the large anti.division vote OF
Lake Charles" but an examlna''o"
of the vote of last Tuesday, shows this
to be equally as false as many OF their
other claims, as exclusive of Ward D.
in which Lake Charles Is located, the
country wards gave an absolute ma
iority AGAINST DIVISION, OF
NEARLY FIFTY VOTES.
The vote in these wards was as 1ol'

That New Orleans millers and bnsI-
ness men have come to a realization
of the benefits to be derived by prop
erly advertising the rice industry
thrn1rh the channels that have been
followed by the Rice Association OF
America, and are opening up their
purses to a corresponding degree, is
evidenced by the fact that they have
increased their contributions from
S62 to $4l2 during the past week. Inc
new contributors are: s. Locke
Breaux, $50: G. E. Cormier Rice Co..,
500: Rickert's Rice Mills, $50; Dan
Talma ge's Sons Co, $50; VIM. Carrie
s. Co., $50; Woodward, Wright& Co.,
$50. New Orleans has now brought
her contributions to this worthy cause,
up to $4l2, which places her in
the Midland, Roanoke, Rayne and
IOta list, each of which places have
contributed approximately S4OO. She
will still have to 90 some, before she
gets into the class of Morse, Esther
wood and Abbeville, whose contribu-
tions reach close to the 81, ,OOJ mark
and it would seem that there is no
hope of her ever getting in the class
with Crowley, Lake Charles and Jen-
nings, whose contributions nearly
reach $1,000 each.

The greatest campaign ever held in
Calcaseu parish, not excepting the
prohibition fight of two years ago,
was brought to a close by Tuesdays
election. The ordinary features Of
the campaign, dwindled to practically
nothing under the force of parish di-
vision, which was the all-absorbing
element throughout the campaign,
While both the Divisionists and Ants
waged strenuous campaign in behalf
of their respective sides, the campaign
throughout has been marked by the
utter absence OF the animosities and
hard feelings so often engendered by
such sectional strifes. While the an
ti-diVisiunlSLS ARE of course, elated
over their success, and the division
lists are sorelV disappointed at the
failure vi II proposition that they
looked upon as being highly essential
to their more perfect development, as
well as of being of advantage to the
entire parish, we believe that with the
counting of the ballots, even the slight
traces OF discord that may have aris-
on during the campaign, between in.

entirely disappeared. With this sent

Total country districts COB 1851

Total country districts oO5 LODI
The vote of last Tuesday further
demonstrated the fact that the princi-
pal demand for parish division comes
from the would-be parish seats OF the
would-haye-been new parishes, as Jen-
nings, Oakdale and DeRidder, the
three would-be parish seats, while
polling only q per cent, or about one
fifth of the vote of the parish, contrib
50 per cent, or more than half the tot
al division vote of the entire parish
of Calcasieu.
1t further shows the fact that Jen.
nings, whose total vote is less than Is
per cent, or about one-eighth OF the
entire vote of the parish, contributed
81 per cent, or more than one-third of
the entire division vote of the parish.
It further shows that in jeff Davis
parish, the hot-bed of parish division,
the divisionists carried but THREE
out of EIGHT, or 37i per cent OF the
voting precincts, one of these casting
but fourteen votes.
A further analysis of the vote cast,
shows that of the total of thirty-nine
voting precincts of the parish, the di-
visionists carried but NINE, or ap-
proximately ONE FOURTH. Also,
that of the twenty-four voting pre-
cincts of the proposed new parishes,
they carried but EIGHT, or but one
third the precincts of the wouldbe
new parishes.
Now Gentlemen, of Jennings, you
have made your fight; you have pre-
sented your case to the highest trib-
unal, of this, or any other land, the
free and untrammeled vote of a free
and enlightened people, and you have
been overwhelmingly defeated. The
will of the people should prevail YOU
asserted on the platform aud through
the press that your cause, which had
been on the docket for the past ten
years, was now to be decided RIGHT;
to be decided by the voice Of the peo.
pie. You expressed the hope that
each side would abide by the result of
the peoples vote. DID YOU MEAN
TT? We believe you did. as we be.
lieve you to be honest, although de-
luded, men. Lake Charles did not
beat you. On the contrary, the peo.
pie of the country districts demon
strated to you by a vote of TWO to
ONE that they did not want your
brand of diyision.l
The election is over, the verdict has
been rendered, now we appeal to you
as men and brothers to join hands
with the good men and true, of Calca,
sieu parish, in helping to make effect
i've the lofty ideals for the social,
moral, political and industrial uplift
OF the parish, which you so eloquently
presented to the people during the
past campaign.

There Is one direct result coming
from the unsatisfactory ending OF the
American league batting pursuit this
year--the time has come when the
league MUST employ travelling scorers
II the dignity OF the organisation ID 10
be upheld.
Two years ago the matter was dis
cussed 10 some length. e. 8. Barnard,
vice president OF the American league,
was strong advocate OF employing
men TO travel as umpires do and keep
the league records. He voiced his
sentiments at the annual meeting and
nothing came of II. the magnates work
ing on the old thread-bar principe
F-"we've done II this way for years,
why changer" That, by the way, 70 the
logical answer for any innovation sug
gested In connection with the nationai
pastime. =.
Il would take $4,000 per annum to
hire official scorers That would mean
an adaed expense OF $3.50 per ciup
per season, which as baseball finances
20. Is a mighty small sum In view Oh
the ends TO be accomplished.
There Is no use disputing the fac'
that baseball property hinges upon I'M
plicit confidence on the part OF the
people who pay their money at the
game. The race for batting supremacy
| this season has done whole lot more
than $4,000 damage in the way OF
official scoring alone.
