considerable expense, which should
mot be borne alone BY the eandi-
dates. We therefore recommend
to the Democrats in each county to
raise by popular contribution the
amount specified by county COM
nittees as necessary to defray the
Eexpense Of the election in each
county.
Fifth In view Of the challenge
made by Senator Leroy Percy, and
accepted by ex-G Gov. James K. Var
daman. that joint debates between
them be held, and in view Of the
Judgment of this committee that it
is wise in view Of the short time
in which the campaign will be
made. that joint discussions should
take place between the candidates,
lit is therefore further resolved
that the candidates who shall have
formally entered the race are re-
Iquired to arrange suitable dates for

He had secured board here with
Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Brady, who
occupy one Of the Connolly cottages

streets, and up to the time he com-
mitted the rash act, gave no init
nation that he contemplated such
a deed.
On Sunday night he retired to
his room about 10 o'clock, and
about 10:30 muffied report was
heard, Mrs. Brady calling to James
Grafton, who also boarded with
the Brady S, to see what was the
matter. As soon as possible Mr..
Grafton, partly dressed, went into
the room occupied BY Edwards and
found him lying across the bed, !,
fully dressed. with the blood and
brains oozing from his head on
both sides, and a 80 automatic ly-
ling by his side. AS soon as possi-
BILE the alarm was given. but
nothing could be done for the
wounded man, as he was past
human aid.
A coroner's jury. was at once
gotten together, and a verdict re-
turned to the effect that Edwards
had lots his life by his own hand
the following composed the jury:
Capt. r. S. Butler, G. Z. Mobiles,
Marshall Douglass. w. +. Wood.
Bert McNair. S. Z. Whitehead and
Jos. Heuck.
Early Monday morning the Home

charge of his remains and prepared
them for burial, and they were
shipped to his home at Ponchatoula

was buried that afternoon.
