feres, w. P. Dixon,Col. A. D. Vega,
and Dr. Clarence Goette. Sew
eral of these gentlemen held ar
informal meeting few days ago at
the office of Mayor Maurin in the
poWerhouse, when it was decided &c
|fnvite Mr.. Michel to address a
meeting in the Interest of his candi-
dacy at this place on the 10th of
September, and to hold meeting
at the courthouse in the afternoon
Of Aug. 27 to formally organize a Mi
chel parish committee and make ar
rangements for the proposed rally.
It is planned to make the meeting
of Sept. 16 the formal Inauguration
of Mr.. Michel's speaking campaign,
and with this end in view the rally
will be statewide in it's scope. For
the first time in his campaign, with
the single exception of his utterance
at the Ruston meeting which marked
the opening Of the state campaign,
Mr.. Michel will deliver a formal pub
lie address, and the many friends
and supporters of the popular candi-
date are looking forward to his eff
fort in this direction with a deal OF
pleasurable anticipation, feeling con,
fident that he will edo himself
proud and demonstrate his ability
along a line in which he has not
heretofore been called upon to ex-
tend himself.
According to tentative plans thus
| far considered. the meeting will be
held in the open air, on the high
! school campus, and will be opened al
about or o'clock p. m. Owing TIC
| the lack of a suitable place for the
| holding of a barbecue in conjunc
ton with the rally, that portion OF
| the contemplated program has beer
omitted. Among the supporters OF
Mr.. Michel in this section may be
| found friends and adherents o.
| Messrs Broussard, Ransdell, Sanders
Foster and Pujo, but as it is intend
| ed to make the rally purely a Mi
chel affair, it has been agreed SO fa1
not to invite any of the senatorial
candidates to make addresses, al
though this decision may be recon
| sidered later as arrangements fol
! the meeting progress.
Louis A. Landry a Candidate for
] Sheriff.
Under the proper heading in to-
days issue of The Chief will be
| found the announcements of Louis
| A. Landry as candidate for sheriff
of the parish of Ascension, subject
to the action of the Democratic pri
| mary election to be held in January
| next. Mr.. Landry is too well known
| to the citizens and voters of this
parish to need any introduction at
| our hands. AS everybody knows, he
is a big, wholesome, jolly fellow
cordial and courteous to all, and
numbers his friends by the hundreds
| He served as assessor Of the par
ish from 1904 to 1908 with credit to
himself and satisfaction to his con
stituents, making an excellent officia
| in every respect and earning the
| confidence and esteem of the public
and the friendship Of all with whom
he came in contact, both in an Off
c;al and private capacity. Mr.. Lam
cry is native son of Ascension, a
leading citizen and planter of the
| fourth ward, and is allied by ties OF
| birth and marriage with some of the
most prominent and influential fam
| lilies of the parish. He has resided
here all his life, and has always
| been a consistent and Jealous Dem
ocrat, taking a keen interest in the
welfare Of mis- party and exerting
his utmost endeavor to insure its
success at the polls ON all occasions.
He submits his candidacy to the PEG
pie and earnestly solicits their suf-
| frage, and on the time-honored prin-
clples Of the Democratic party he
promise to stand or fall at the
hands of the voters of the parish
IN the approaching print ry election.
AS has been shown by his conduct
and his clean record of the past, he
is a conscientious, upright and able
young man, honest and fearless in
the discharge Of his duty, and if
elected to the position toward which
his ambition is directed can be relied
upon to do his duty faithfully and i'm
partially under any and all circu1n-
stances.
