TIE CAMPAIGN

The campaign moves merrlly along
with every candidate getting the
best of it and constantly annexlng
votes according to his own and MS
friends ayerments. There Is no EVIL
dence of great changes from any
one faction or candidate to another
having taken place, but it cannot be
gainsaid that Mr.. Michel has Deen
damaged to q considerable extent by
the exposure OF his land specula-
tons. and that the trend OF popu
lar sentiment is from Michel and
Aswel to Hall. rather than In the
other direction. DR.. AsWeA "oulo
probably have much more support
than is now behind him but for the
general conviction that his candidacy
is hopeless, for only the most enthu-
siastic of his friends believe that ne
will poll larger vote than either OF
his two competitors.
The cause OF the Democratic GOOD
Government League has received
decided boost this week from the
great reception given Judge Hall and

at the New Orleans Atheneum last
Tuesday night. The meetings held on

enthusiastic popular demonstration
ever made in that city. Certainly
there has been nothing to excel Al
since the famous anti-lottery cam

to have walk-over in New Orleans
but to express confidence that witt

the office of police juror OF the
fourth ward, subject to the action
OF the Democratic primary. Mr.. Ian
