(The Iberville Sentinel.)
In the approaching campaign |
there will be lots of candidates for
the people to choose between, good
bad and Indifferent. Hence. it Is
advisable for every man who de-
sires to exercise the great right to
vote properly, not to listen to the
siren songs of professional Office
seekers, who have held Office for
the better portion of their lives
aud desire to hold them until they
die aud then transmit their title to
father, son or brother. In other
words, to make it's family heritage,
as was done in the Sixth Congress
sional district with the Robertson
family.
The day for this sort of thing
has passed and gone forever, and
those who have held office for a
| generation or more, in various Sec
tions of this State, had just as we'll
make arrangements for retirement
to the shades of innocuous desue-
tude. The people have determin-
ed upon a clean sweep and 1t is
going to be made, Notwithstanding
some of the old barnacles, who
have duped and deceived, lied to
and misled the people so long a

the people, two years in advance

There was no chance for oratorical

the election of Speaker Jennings, who
was nominated in caucus, with all the
other officers and attaches, Chairman
Kellum proceeded with the election in
the simplest manner, calling for nomi-

name of Mr.. Jennings before the
house. A committee of two composed
of Representatives Matthews and W.
A. MacWilliams escorted the speak

by Mr.. MacWilliams with the express
sion of the hope and belief that the
officer would preside ably and i'm
partially Mr.. Jennings assumed the
gavel, saying in a brief address to the
house that he was grateful for the
honor and it was his highest aim to
preside with fairness to all. At 1928
a committee from the senate reported
that body as organized AMI ready for
business. The organization of the
house was completed shortly there
after.
President Cone was nominated by
Senator Williams, of the Twenty first

sentatfves:
Il transmitted to the sixty-first con-
gress on January IS last the text of
the reciprocity trade agreement which
had been negotiated under my direc-
ton by the secretary of state with the
representatives Of the Dominion Of
Canada
This agreement was the consum-
nation OF earnest efforts, extending
over q period OF nearly a year, on the
part OF both governments to effect n
trade arrangement which, supplement
ing as It did the amicable settlement
of various questions of DIPLOMATS
and political character that had been
reached, would mutually promote COM
merce and would strengthen the
friendly relations now existing.
THE agreement IN its intent and in
its terms was purely economic and
purely commercial. While the general
subject was under discussion by the
commissions / felt assured that the
sentiment of, the people of the United
States was such that they would well
come a measure which would result in
the increase of trade in both sides Of
the boundary line, would open up the
reserve productive resources of Canada
to the,great mass of our consumers of
advantageous conditions and at the
same time offer broader outlet for
the excess products of our farms and
many of our industries.
"Details regarding a negotiation of
this kind necessarily could not be
made public while the conferences
were pending. When, however, the

much valuable information on the
subject of saving and cultivating the
hair.
If the present-day men and wo-

1t is Just as easy to have robust
and beautiful hair as to have thin,
scraggy hair or no hair at ALL If the
scalp is kept clean and free from dan

was located where the San Carlos now

There was a thick red sediment in

doctor gave her did not seem to help
her and she was finally persuaded to

of the expenses of the government
which makes the procurement and en-
joyment of the same possible. The
main objection that have seen urged
against the passage of such amend
ment is that. the federal government
will be in position to enforce a tax
upon the incomes derived from state,
county and municipal bonds, thus inn
pairing the credit of the states, coun-
ties and municipalities. In the event
of the adoption of such a constitu-
tional amendment, it is necessary to
state that no law providing for a tax
upon incomes could be passed without
gresmen. All of the senators and con-
gressmen. All of the senators and con-
gressmen are residents Of a state;
they are all residents of a county, and
practically all of them are residents
of a municipality. An Objectionable
tax could not be imposed without the
same affecting every member of the
federal senate and the federal house
of representative. Self representation is
the first law of nature. These gentle
men will undoubtedly conserve the in
terests of their states, their counties
and their municipalities.
