HALL MEETING ON WEDNES-
DAY NEXT

Large bills are posted announc-
ing a mass meeting in this City
next Wednesday evening at 1870
o 'clock at the Opera House in the
interest of the candidacy OF Hon.
Luther E. Hall, candidate for
Governor. Among the speakers
announced to address the audi
ence also will be congressman
Broussard and Pujo, opponents OF
Governor Sanders and Henri L..
Gueydan. a candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor against Tom
Barrett and J. NJ. Wimberly OF
North Louisiana. The meeting
promises to be a big success with
Hon. R. F. Broussard as the draw
ing card for the candidates. 1t IS
a pity that the Opera House has
not sufficient capacity to accom-
modate those who will desire seats
on that occasion, as was the case
at the Aswell OutpOuring when II
became known that Mr.. BrOussard
would be present. On the same
dav at Loreauville the speakers
will hold meeting at LOreau-
vile when Hon. John M. Parker,
the slate maker and big boss Will
address his friends in that section
of the Parish on the issues OF the
day. The next night big rally
will also be held at Jeanerette in
the interest of Mr.. Hall.

TROLLEY FORFEIT DE-
POSTED.

On Wednesday evening Mayor
Power received a wire from Mr..
F.. w. Crosby of the Southwestern
Traction Company, domiciled at
New Orleans to call the City
Council together on Thursday
evening to receive the deposit of
100000 according to the stipu-
lations to insure the completion
Of the trolley line from this City
to Jeanerette. The meeting was
held with a full membership pres
ent and Messrs. Cammack &
Broussard and R. E. Milling of
Franklin presented a certificate
from the New Iberia National
Bank showing that the deposit
had been made to comply with all
of the requirements of the Coun-
ell for the franchise to use the
streets Of the City for the opera
ton Of their road.
Thus. after all the prospects are
very bright for the beginning and
completion Of the much talked of
Trolley connecting the two towns
and incidentally covering the en-
tire Southwest Louisiana with a
net work Of roads touching every
point where sufficients induce
ments are given. Mr.. Crosby,
the President has been diligently
at work on this mammoth prop
osition for some two years and
while several impediments has
been put in his way seems to
have overcome most of the diff
culties and it now looks like the
Trolley is an assured fact.

CATCHING AT sTRAWs.

The opposition for anything
better to urge against the election
of Mr.. Michel are now working
themselves into frenzy because
while occupying the Office of Sec
rotary Of State he purchased
some public lands from the State.
In our opinion this Is whiting
down THE opposition to a pin
point and we believe that the
mass Of the voters will look at
it in this way. We believe in an
honorable, clean life and we be-
lieve that candidate for the ex-
allied office Of Governor should be
free from any taints. In our
opinion Mr.. Michel comes up to
that standard. We have not ac-
cepted him as a saint because
these are not found in private or
public life. We have measured
him from his long service, and it
is strange that his political ene-
mics are so late in finding out
these things against him.
What has Mr.. Michel done |!
Boiled down to a finish he has
simply invested his money in
the purchase or entry Of public
lands which the State was offer
ing to her people at given price.
Anybody could do the same
thing. Louisiana had something
to sell and it offered to sell it.
Hundreds Of her citizens, includ-
ing Mr.. Michel, took advantage
of the plain proposition and
bought. The transactions were
not hidden. They, and many
others since, had the sanction of
law. Titles were made to Mr..
Michel and thousands of other
buyers by the proper officers,
and they would never have con-
scented to hand over papers faint
ed In the least.
In truth and In fairness we
are going too far in our objec-
tons against the men who offer
for office. There is
such Q thing as carping foolish
ness and we have too much of it
In our political campaigns. We
must not permit prejudice to
blind our Judgment It is wrong;
It is not honorable; it is un-Amer.
lean. Mr.. Michel is a clean man
and the buying of State lands
will not soil his reputation. If
he is to be defeated let it be done
in = more honorable way

MIR. MICHEL'S LAKE PUR.
CHASE.

There is something extremely
funny in the story told by the
States that among the land pur-
chases made Of the public lands Of
Louisiana by Mr.. Michel was a
navigable lake of about 10O
square miles of area. It h almost
a repetition of the experience of
the hungry man at the restaurant
who ordered boiled eggs, but got
a chicken. feathers and all in
each. To get chickens at the price
Of eggs might be bargain. but
to buy land and get hundred
square miles of navigable lake
looks like a losing game. But it
was the state that put up the job.
1t is impossible to blame Michel
for that.-Picyune.
