EDDIE LOEB IS OUT FOR
OFFICE OF MAYOR
Fourth Ward Alderman Wants to Head MunlCT-
paIiiy- HAS Been A Constructive Official.
TENTATIVE CANDIDATES
Three Are Out for Constable for the City
4 Court Election Will Be Held In
January Next.

Eyes, ann a candidate for the
office of Mayor of Opelousas, y
said Alderman E. L. Loeb, in
answer to question; and I be-
Iieve that the people will elect
meat least | hope SO. | believe
that my course as an alderman
might have some influence on the
popular verdict; that is, if duty
fearlessly performed counts for
anything"
And Mr.. Loeb, the Clarion can
truthfully say, has endeavored to
discharge the duties of the Office
of Alderman with an eye seem
ingly directed to the good of the
whole people.
His candidacy is receiving
strong support from all walks of
life.
It is probable that the present
incumbent, Mr.. Mike Halphen.
will contest for the honor with
Mr.. Loeb, and it is also unau-
thentically rumored that DIR. B.
A. Littell will be in the run
ming. This will make an inter-
esting race.
Mr.. Loeb's name has also been
prominently connected with the
Office Of Representative in the
Lower House Of the Legislature,
but it is understood that the
Fourth Ward alderman has a
stronger penchant for municipal
politics.

CONTEST FOR CITY JUDGE.

Judge E. S. Kerr will be a cam
didate to succeed himself for
City Judge, and will probably be
opposed by Judge Arthur Simon.
These gentlemen opposed each
other in the last election. There
is mention of two other candi-
dates for this office.

Mr.. Reams was pastor of the

very interesting and accurate
data concerning this marvellous
display of the power of the AL

tints peculiar to that region. He
is able to throw on the canvas
views ten feet square, giving
scenes that are life-size or large ],
and very realistic. In fact, one
has the impression of having had
a. taste of the delights of the
Park just sufficient to create an
irresistible longing to go there in
person and see more.

AID. ALLEN STANDS
BY HIS RECORD
Has Always Favored The City
Going Forward <

I 81 do not care to be interviewed on
the question" said Alderman Lee AL
len, when approached as to his position
with regard to the sale Of the street
paving bonds and also with regard 70
the voting of a bond issue for water
and sewerage extension on next Tues
Gay.
MY record speaks for itself" he
continued. MY acts in Council have
been public and they tell the people
exactly where / stand. That is all it is
necessary for me to say"
Alderman Allen has always favored
public improvements of every charac-
ter, so there is no doubt as to where he
stands on the matters of paving, water
and sewers. He voted for the paving
bonds and supported the water and
sewerage issue before. In Council he
has called for the sale of the paving
bonds. Aid. Allen believes in a policy
of progress, in every step that will
tend to build up the city, and he has
been constant supporter of all such
measures during the four years that
he has been member of the City
Council.

MESSAGE FROM Wife

This Man Had Weakness for
SpirituaIism

Washington, April 1.-The weak
ness of Fenton j. Hurd for all man,>
festations of spiritualism, his alleged
.amorous tendencies toward the women
who wrote him spirit letters" suppos-
eddy from his dead wife, and his gifts,
whuch amounted to about 100000 form
ed the basis of interesting testimony in
Justice Gould's court today when the
reading of the 1 800 pages of testimony
in Dr. Lee NJ. Hurd's suit for the re-
covery of one of these gifts was re-
sumed in Equity Court No. 2.
The name of Fenton J. Hurd, the
wealthy octogenarian, principal in the
suit, was joined to that of Dr. Lee NJ.
Hurd, his grandson, as plaintiffs in the
action to recover $4,000 from Mrs.
Laura R. Cramer, the employe of the
state department wso is charged with

man.
Fenton J. Hurd also appended tes-
timony to that already offered in which
he denied the statements of Mrs.
Cramer, made yesterday, that she was
engaged to be married to him and this

a filial character. Hurd AYERS that he
considered himself too old for marry
ing, and when he was prevented from
wedding the choice of his heart, in the
person of a Miss Smith, he decided to
renounce the idea of matrimony for
ever.
The matter of letters written to Mrs.
Cramer and to other women who are
said to have known his weakness for
spiritualism, seems to have caused
some little worry to the old man. When

SPEAKERS SELECTED FOR
COMMENCEMENT DEBATE
Students Preparing for I'm
pOPtdnt Exercises

"a part of the program for the com
mencement exercises at the High
School was settled upon this week,
when the speakers and the subject for
the public debate at the close of the
school session were chosen.
The members of the High School
who will represent the Crisp Literec-
airy Society are Cloyd Buchanan, r. P
Stackhouse, and Kinch Worthy. Those
no will be arrayed in forensic skill in
behalf of the Lanier Literary Society
are Misses Pearl Lott, Mary Green and
Sallie Estelle Carter.
The subject that will be debated is
Resolved, that the commission form
of government is the desirable govern
ment for American municipalities.
The negative and affirmative sides u
the debate have not yet been assigned
As there is naturally more interest
in the commencement exercises of the
school than those occurring at any
other time, the attendance at the COM
mencement debate will be unusually
large. 1t is, also, the first public de-
bate to be held in connection with the
closing exercises of the school.
The large and appreciative audienc
that attended the public debate at the
High School in January will be re-
remembered. The attendance at the
coming debate bids fair to eclipse all
records for attendance at any similar
exercise held at the High School The
representatives of the two societies
have already begun the work of ar
ranging and preparing their argu-
ments for the occasion.
The debate will be a fitting close
for the first years work Of the stu
dents of the High School in their ef-
forts to make the literary societies 8
notable feature of the general work
of the school. All who attend cannot
fail to enjoy the debate, which will
be in every detail worthy Of the occa-
sion.

Another Division Scheme

Two townships in northwestern
Lyman county, containing the
towns of Capa and and Van Metre,
would like to have the legislature
set them off from Lyman county
and make them a part of Stanley
county. They are townships
through which the Northwestern
road runs, and Fort Pierre would
be handy as county seat, while
to reach Lyman's county seat the
people have to make a long drive
to get to the Milwaukee and then
its no joke to ride in on that road
to Oacoma.
But there is a constitutional pro-
vision that will not allow the legis-
lature to meddle in dividing
organized counties, even in such a
case as the one mentioned. The
populace of those, townships will
have to get the consent of the
voters of both Lyman and Stanley
counties at an election called for
the purpose.
The Review has a suggestion
that might be worth while. Down
in the southeastern part of Stanley
county, along White river, is
couple of townships that remind
one of Honduras or those other
little Central American republics
that are continually revolving and
warning and trying to work over
their neighbors' compilations. We
believe that Stanley county's un-
animous consent could be gained
for trading Stamford and an adj
adjoining township for those Ly-
man county townships that would
rather be part of our great em-
pire. We would welcome Caps
and Van Metre, especially if the
trade mentioned could be consu'
mated.

GLANOEREO HORSES
Ash Greek Ranchman 10 ',Stung''
Because of Unfair State Law

J. A. Hawkins of Ash Creek,
has just returned from Marshall
county, where a case was tried in
court regarding glandered horses.
Mr.. Hawkins bought 5000 worth
of horses from a man named Lea
witt who shipped them in from
Montana. The horses proved to
be glandered and Hawkins sued to
recover damages and also to prose-
cute the man for shipping in the
diseased animals.
On the trial for the prosecution
of Leavitt the court declared our
state laws, including the live stock
sanitary board statute, to be lack
Ing in power of enforcement and
Leavitt went free. In the mean
time Hawkins must keep the
horses fer further state evidence
and he cannot sell them because
they have glanders and the state
will not pay him when he kills
them. This is certainly decidedly
wrong and the legislature should
take some steps to properly adjust
our present statutes SO as to pre-
vent le shipment into the state of
such diseased animals and also pay
for animals they kill.

The state administration is urg-
ing the call of a constitutional con-
vention, which would be followed
BY the submission of a new consti-
tuition to the voters for their ap-
proval. The state has not yet
reached the stage where such a
change is necessary, except to a
few political interests. A new
constitution would look like the
late lamented military law to a
majority of the voters, and would
be as susceptible to the propoga-
tion of lockers" The present con-
stitution will do for some years
