HALLS PROGRESS.

Without the blaring of trumpets,
il may be said that Judge l.. II.
Halls progress throughout the state
Is very satisfactory TO himself and
his friends. Unlike Michel ana AS
well. he Is not claiming the earth
and the fuIlness thereof. Hall and
his friends are fully appreciatiye Of
The fact that. Michel has friends by
The thousand all over the state and
40 has Aswell.
Unlike Aswell, Judge Hall would
not say that he could find no Aswell
men In New Orleans. AT least Prof.
Aswell is credited and published IN
newspapers as having said that he
had canvessed New Orleans and had
not met Hall man. Possibly this
is figure Of speech, uttered for eff
feet, but as fact New Orleans is
filled with Hall men, and from the
present perspective Hall will de-
monstrate his strength at the Janu-
airy primary.
To use street phrase, this
"whooping up Of Aswell is intended
10 create the impression thai Aswell
has great strength in New Orleans,
whereas. as a fact. he is the minor
ity candidate and can not reason
ably expect TO be in The second pri-
mary.
This is not intended as reflection
of discredil nor to distress the
friends Of Aswcll but the situation
Is plain and we'll understood by men
who are familiar with politics.
II appears from publications that
some OF the friends of Aswell are
striving TO create the impression
that the exposures of Miehel's land
grabs will force him to retire. and
that the canvass will be between
Aswell md Hail. but this seems
ridiculous, and IL is. Michel will
not withdraw. He will remain in
the race to the end but
n Michel were TO withdraw. on
whom would the bosses align2 Hall2
No. Why? Because he is the can
didate Of the Democratic Good Gov
erslment League and stands for
practical reforms.
If straws political indicate the di-
rection Of the wind, Aswell, al least
some of his friends in New Orleans
wofld leave. by inferenc on The ra-
tional mind the impression that the
bosses would line up for Aswell.
This surmise is justified by AS
wells speeches and his canvass Of
the wards Ia New Orleans. but Mi
ehel will not Withdraw nor is II his
intention to Withdraw. Why should
he? Therefore, the speculative and
the irridescent anticipation of Prof.
Aswell will eventually collapse. II
is inevitable.
The situation IS clear: The con-
test Is between Michel and Hall.

Washington. Feb. li.-Senator Nc
Cumber today introduced a joint res

The investigation Of these companies

The point of this Investigation is to

panies or corporations in endeavorins
TO gain subscribers to their bonds
through advertisements sent through

At present. IL is the belief OF the
