Large Audience Greets Gubernatorial
Candidate at Local Courthouse
Tuesday Night-Aswell Club
Formed With Upwards OF 100
Members.

Members.
A large and representative au-
dience assembled at the courthouse.
last Tuesday night to listen to an
address by Hon. ]. B. Aswell Of Nat
chitoches in the interest of his can
didacy for governor. The meeting was
called to order shortly after 8
o'clock p. M by Sabin Dalferes, who
in a few well-chosen words stated
the object of the gathering and SAID
he wanted to call the attention OF
the young men of Ascension to the
golden opportunity they have to vote
for an independent candidate,
young man of the people, independent,
unfettered and Embossed.
Mr.. Dalferes introduced A. j. Sch
roeder as the chairman of the meet
ing, and Mr. Schroeder, upon assum-
ing the chair, made a brief but eff
fective talk, referring to DR.. Aswell
as the only candidate in the race wb
represents sincere effort at reform.
DR.. Aswell was given an ovation
when he was introduced by Mr.. Sch
roeder, the applause and cheers last
ing several minutes. The noted ed
ucator delivered one of his character
istically able and eloquent addresses,
dealing in vigorous language with the
reformation Of our system of taxation,
the abolition of the game warden sys-
tenn and it's expensive adjuncts, the
curtailment of the governors ap-
pointive power, the construction of
good roads, the development and inn
provement of the school system and
| the alienation of the levee tax by
| seeking government control of the
levees. Dr. Aswell gave more atten-
ton to the question of taxation than
he has given that subject in any of
his previous addresses, and stated that
| if there existed no other reason for
calling constitutional convention
the pressing necessity of reforming
our antiquated and unjust system of
taxation would itself be sufficient
reason Dr. +Aswell's address was
well received by the large audience
and seemed to make a most favorabl
impression.
A very enthusiastic meeting of the
local AsWell supporters was held at
