 The Citizens National Committee on

For Police Juror of Ward Five.


The announcement of Mr.. w.
L. Brewster will be found in the
proper column this week, as a
candidate for police juror of ward
five. He is manager of the Selma
Drug Co., and is recognized as
an enterprising and progressive
man in that community. At the
solicitation of friends he is offer
ing for the position, for which he
is we'll qualified. Having the
energy and ability, together with
great popularity among his many
friends, he will doubtless receive
a good backing at the ballot box
as the choice of the Democrats
of that ward in the primary cleo
ton, and if he gets the nomina-
ton will be elected as a matter
of course, as the Democrats pre-.
dominate over Independents and
Socialists in that ward about foul
to one.

For Magistrate or Ward Six.

We are authorized to announce
Mr.. Felix P. Bullitt as a candi-
date for justice of the peace in
ward six. Mr.. Bunitt is one of
the best known citizens in ward
six, having represented that ward
for the past three years as a
member of the police jury. He
has a wide circle of friends who
will give him strong support, and
if elected he will doubtless give
good satisfaction as magistrate
of the ward. His formal an
nouncement appears among oul
group of candidates.

Parish Officers Not Lining Up in State
Fight.

Fight.
In response to the insistance in
some quarters that the Good Gov
eminent League draw tight lines
in the parishes, the St. Landry
Commoner, the official organ of
the League, is rather disposed to
follow the pace set by the New
Orleans convention, in only NAM
ing candidates for the two Offices
of Governor and Lieut.. Governor.
The League publicly announced
it's purpose to keep out of local
matters altogether, and very
evidently the Commoner is of the
opinion that it should stand by
this position, letting the local
candidates act as they see fit in
the matter. In its issue of July
%, The Commoner says:
THE Good Government League
of this parish has, up to the pres
ent time, taken no part in the
contest for the parochial Offices.
A lineup, however, has taken
place by some of the candidates. -

Peter M. Ussery for Police Juror.

The name of Mr.. P. M. Ussery
will be found in our columns this
week, as a candidate for police
juror of ward five. We under
stand he is being urged by his
friends, and can do no better in
stating his case than to print the
note accompanying with fee our
authorization to publish his an
nouncement, as follows:
Editor CoJa1 Chronicle:
!, Mr.. Ussery, whom we are au-
'thorizing you to announce as a
candidate for police juror from
ward five, is a well known farm
er and business man in this ward
and is very popular with a wide
circle of friends and acquaint-
ances, who will give him strong
support for the position of police
juror. He is pleasant and affable
in his associations, and is quite
well fitted for the Office for which
he offers.
Yours with best regards,

Mr.. Roy taught in the New Or

thing over fifteen years ago,
when he was a young man, and
this remarkable outburst over his
case comes more than a decade
after his mature manhood has
been employed in efficient service
in several prominent positions.
He made good in all of them.
That he should have been select

juncture for sensational indigna-

of it. Roy's appointment can 90

tests of those engaged in this TO-

school and to the State at large.
Race pride and purity is one
thing, intolerance and race preju-
dice quite another.
The good sense and sentiment
of Southern people is against
squeamishness and injustice in
dealing with the negro. Kind

gentility of any one. 1t is socia

The teacher or preacher who ha'

The teaching Of negroes b.
