Il am not seeking the
governorship to satisfy a
personal ambition but to
serve the people who have
asked me tomake the race. =

The declarations at the Wash
ington and Melville meetings
were made after the Sunset
meeting, and after he had de-
MED to friends of saying that he
was Indifferent as to whether or
not was elected Governor, but he
he was in the race only to save the
State of Louisiana.
He just forgot, that's all; just
as he forgot the letter written to
his manager, Henry Bernstein,
asking him to solicit the vote of
the game wardens and registrars
in his race for the Supreme
Court bench.
1t is a novel way of campaign
ing, this way of forgetting. =
Especially when it comes from
a serious man" a man t h t
never JOKES"
Judge Hall says that he is that
kind of a fellow.
Maybe II Congressman PuJo
was against Judge Hall, he emight
tell something akin to the epithet
he applied to Governor Sanders.
But Judge Hall only forgets,
that's all.
Again, the serious man, if
he does not joke, is considerable
of a quibbler. He says he did
not speak at Sunset. The cor
respondent did not mean to
charge him as having spoken at
Sunset, as there was no meeting
there. Sunset is about two miles
from Grand Coteau, where the
speaking took place. There is
no telegraph Office at Grand
Coteau, therefore the message
wassfiled at Sunset, and bore the
date line of Sunset.

JUDGE HALL SPEAKS
in ST. LANDRY PARISH
Reports Of TrIumphaI Tour Much Exaggerated
by Times Democrat.
GOOD MEETINGS AT PLACES
No Audience at LsoBvlile and BOscOVlIIe..
Large Crowd at ArnaudVII!e..PuIO and
Gusydan Also Speak.

Judge Luther E. Hall and his
campaign party had a rough
week of it, and covered much
territory in the few days allotted
to them to make the itinerary.
The Tines Democrat had 9
special correspondent along with
the party.
He was from the Tines-Demo.
crat, and was ''On to his job. !"
We do not want to say that the
correspondent Of the Times.
Democrat deliberately told un-
truths in estimating the various
crowds, or in estimating the
Hall majority in st. Landry
when election rolls around.
We will be charitable, and at
tribute his estimates to his close
association with Judge Hall
Don't Remember Luther. /"
The correspondent just forgot
the size of the crowds, and looked
aWry at the trend Of sentiment
that's all.
On Monday, the 18th, the party
spoke at Bellevue to a small
crowd; at Coulee Croche, on the
same day, a fair audience greeted
them; at Grand Coteau, on the
same day, a good audience was
present. At Arnaudville, on the
same day, the party was greeted
by the largest audience of the
campaign in this parish. At
Leonville, where they were to
speak at 4 o'clock, there was no
audience to receive them, prob
ably on account of the fact
that they were two hours behind
time, owing to the automobiles
begging.
Tuesday they were to speak at
Boscoville, near Opelousas, but
no one showed up for the meet
ing. At Port Barre, on the same
day, where a barbecue was held,
they spoke to- less than a hun
dred people. At Melville they
had a very hearty reception.
The party spoke Wednesday at
Lewisburgs Lawtell, Plaisance,
Grand Prairie and Washington.
On Thursday at Whiteyille,
Barbreck Garland, Chicot and
Vile Platte.
Congressman Ransdell came
here OH Thursday. but did not
follow it. He spoke, at the court
house last night, together with
Congtessmen Pujo and Judge
Hall and Mr.. Henri L. Gueydan,
the 1atter a candidate for the
office of Lieutenant- Governor.
Congressman Pujo and Con-
gressman Ransdell accompanied
the itinerary through the parish.
The campaign through st.
Landry has been a strenuous one.

of the sugar refinery, which is to
be transferred from st. Mary
parish to the Holland Plantation,
near 0pelousas. =
Mr.. Tiernan has been here for
several days, having come to
personally supervise the erection
of the machinery for the plant,
which is coming in fast.
Fourteen carloads have already
arrived, and five more will prob
ably be here to-day. Those on
the way are loaded with the
bricks which constituted the old
sugar house.
And moreover, !" said Mr..
Tiernan, the bringing of this
factory to ST. Landry, in my
opinion, means two factories. 1t
is our intention to increase the
capacity of the present factory
shortly, and use the machinery
for another mill, to be established
in some other portion of the
parish. =
The fourteen cars arrived via
the Southern Pacific, and were

A Delightful Social

The Philathea and Barraca
classes of the Baptist Sunday
School entertained at a social at
the Baptist parsonage on Friday
evening last.
The theme "A college course
at good time college" was car
ried out with thorough success.
Neat little pennant shaped invi-
tations were sent out by the en-
tertaining classes and the good
time college" held up its name
throughout the evening.
Upon the arrival Of the guests
they were assigned to different
classes, and it was the duty of
each class in turn to entertain
the other classes. All of the
classes took off their parts admir-
ably until it came the Senior
classes turn. They tried to get
off something dignified and were
punished by being made to serve
the refresments.
It was a late hour when college
was dismissed and all present
proclaimed that they had never
before learned so much nor had
better time at such a short
session of school.

''BUCK" LEWIS MEETS
DEATH BY DROWNING
Prominent Citizen Of Franklin, and Son Of
Judge E. T. Lewis.
A COMPANION ALSO DROWNED
Body Inferred In Protestant Cemetery In
OpeIOusas Wednesday Evening. WAS Out
on Pleasure Trip.

DR.. Edward L. Lewis, better
known in Opelousas, his birth
place, as Buck" Lewis, met
death by drowning on his way tc
Cote Blanche, on last Tuesday
evening. One of his companions
on the fatal trip, Mr.. w. G.
Davis, also met death in the
same manner.
According to the version of the
sad affair, brought to Opelousas
by Mr.. w. D. Lewis, a first
cousin of the unfortunate DIR.
Lewis, the party were in a gaso-
line launch, going, as said be-
fore, for an outing at Cote
Blanche near Franklin. While
crossing an arm of Mud Lake,
DR.. Lewis accidently fell over
board, but being a good swim
mer, he swan to shallow water.
Just at this time the motor on
the launch got out of order, and
two of DR.. Lewis companions,
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Hugh P.
Frere, lowered the yawl and
started out for DR.. Lewis. In
some manner Mr.. Davis fell over
board from the yawl, and Mr..
Frere was desperately trying to
save him when DR.. Lewis at
tempted to swim back to the
channel and give aid in the work
of rescue. The effort was too
much, and he sank in fifty feet
of water. In the meantime his
friend Davis had gone to his
watery grave. Mr.. Frere barely
saved himself.
The body of Mr.. Davis was re-
covered at noon the same day,
and that Of DR.. Lewis at4o'clock
in the afternoon.
Judge Lewis, his father, and
Mr.. w. D. Lewis, his cousin, left
for Franklin soon as the news
reached here, and accompanied
the body to Opelousas. There
were several friends from Frank
lin, where DR.. Lewis has resided
for the past several years, with
the corpse. The interment was
held in the Protestant cemetery,
upon the arrival Of the 2::30 train
Wednesday, and the funeral was
followed by a large number of
and relatives.
DR.. Lewis was popular in his
native place, Opelousas, and his
family is one of the most promi-
nent in the parish.
His untimely and tragic death
,ast a gloom over the entire
community; and his grey-haired
father, who was bereft of his
only son, has the heartfelt sym
oathy Of all.

Tbe Grand Coteau Speech.

Although corroborated by him
self by his utterances in other
places, that Judge Hall did make
the statement that he was not
ambitious to be Governor, there
are many citizens Of Sunset and
Grand Coteau, and other parties
who We're present, who will at
test to the fact that Judge Hall
did say so, and is now denying
something that he did say, just
as he denied having written the
Bernstein letter, until the letter,
in his own handwriting, was pro-
duced and printed in fac-simile.
Judge Hall is a good man-his
memory is not good, that's all.

Judge Hall was seen at
the Lacombe Hotel this
morning and was shown a
copy of the editorial in the
Daily States commenting on
the telegram from the Plea
yune correspondent at Sum
set. The Judge did not
care to notice it at all, for
he said the statement itself,
stamped it as an attempt to
place words in his mouth
that he never uttered. He
said I did not speak at Sun
set at all, nor did / in any
. of my talks make any state
ment that could be twisted
into such a meaning, and I
am surprised that a public
journal, supposed to be a
a reputable newspaper,
should publish such a state
ment which on the face Of
it is untrue. It shows an
evident attempt of that
papers correspondent at
that place to place words
in my mouth that | did not
say.

To those citizens of the State
who have not farniliarized them
selves with the wonderful growth

Normal School Prosperous.
The doors of the Louis ana
State Normal School were thrown
open for the session 1911-19l2 on
morning, September
18th. Considerable interest has
been taken all over Louisiana IN
this opening of the fall term,
due particularly to the dark fore
bodings De a few ranters aborlt
the future Of the Normal School.
It will, therefore, be sorry news
to some people to learn that the
enrolment at the first day this
term is larger than 1t was Oh
The corresponding day last year
or any other previous year. The
number of Normal students ma
sricai lated up to 5 b. mi. on Sep
Bember 18th, the opening day,
was GIG. The enrolment ii the
model school,, only about half
complete, was at the time about
200. Students are coming in
daily, and the authorities expect
the attendance this term to
reach well above $50. Some
interest has been provoked by
sangn!ne forecasts and indefinite
reports of an attendance of 700
Students in other institutions,
out disappointment has been felt
hat the actual attendance was
lot given.
