The Supreme
Court Election.

In voting for a Judge of the
Supreme Court of Louisiana, the
voters are called on to act in a
matter of great Importance in the
whole State. This body of five
judges is the last resort on all
cases involving more than $4,000
in property or money. in criminal
matters and in cases involving
the questions Of homesteads, con-
stitutionality Of laws and other
grave matters. The enforcement
and upbuilding of the law; the
protection of life, liberty and
property of the citizens of Louisi-
ana depend in large numbers on
the character and ability of the
judges in our highest court. 1t is
a position of great trust and re-
sponsibility.
In Judge Charles A. O'Niell, the
people of this district. could not
select better man for Associate
Justice. AS district judge of the
23rd judicial district, he has. had
wide and varied experience in
all classes of cases, and is known
as rapid and tireless work er.
Vote for Judge Charles A.
O'Niell for Associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court when you go
to the polls next Tuesday.
The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1912-08-31

From the energy he is display
ing in his campaign for the
Supreme Court Associate Judge
ship, Judge Charles A. O'Niell is
undoubtedly another one of our
distinguished fellow-citizens who
will win in the primary next Tues
day. He is holding large meet
ings and creating the most favor
able impressions in all sections of
the district visited by him. He
held large meetings the past week
in Baton Rouge, Franklinton,
Bogalusa, Houma, Donaldson
vile and neighboring places.
Judge O'Niell is a versatile gen.
tleman-a ready talker and
strong campaigner, and a good
lawyer that will prove valuable
acquisition to the Supreme Court
bench of the State. He is out to
win and the returns tell US that
win he will.

"Cousin" Bob.

"Cousin" Bob Broussard is
surely making a whirlwind tour
of the district in the interest of
his candidacy. He is delivering
speeches at several places on
the same day some times and
drawing very large audiences each
time. It is certain as the noon
day sun that he will emerge from
the campaign entirely victorious
and will again be our representa-
tive in the next Congress, 1t
would not be proper, nor would
it be in line with the interests Of
our district, were it otherwise, for
Mr.. Broussard has been at that
post Of duty for number of terms
and has always faithfully and
vigorously performed his duties
and obtained many national bene.
fits for his people. He is ex-
tremely popular with his col
leagues in the National House of
Representatives and is fine
speaker and vigilant legislator.
Many fine testimonials have been
showered upon him by his col
leagues Is to the able and palms.
taking manner in which he attends
to the arduous duties assigned
him at the national capitol.
1t must be said that Congress-
man Broussard since his election
to the United States Senate, to
become effective three years
hence, did not wish to return to
the lower house for another term.
He would have much preferred a
needed rest for year or two, but
such were the urgent solicitations
of his friends and constituents
that to refuse to hearken to them
would have been nothing short of
base ingratitude. "Cousin" Bob
is in the saddle and that he is a
big winner is foregone conclu-
sion.

Capt. ]. T. Baldwin, iberia Ave,

commend Doan's Kidney Pills. as in
my case they proved to be splendid
kidney remedy. Owing to lameness
and pain in my back, especially near
my left kidney, had great difficulty
in arising after lying down. If I
brought the least strain on the muscles
of my back, I suffered more intensely.
The kidney secretions were highly
colored and irregular in passage
Coming to the conclusion that my kid
neys were the cause of all my troubles,
l decided to try Doan's Kidney Pills
and procured supply at Frere's
Pharmacy. They gave me entire sat-

A Last Word
to Voters.

The BANNER closes the
judicial campaign with this
issue feeling entirely con-
fident that the voters have in
a substantial majority at
least, arrived at the conclu-
sion that Hon. Thos. M. Mill.
ing is the best available man
to occupy our District Judge
bench for the ensuing four
years. The people Of the
district have had numerous
occasions to appreciate Mr..
Milling's fine qualities in the
past, as a jurist and citizen,
and they are not going to
permit this opportunity to
fittingly reward him to go
amiss. His record as district
attorney for the past four
years is without fault or
blemish and the peace, the
good conduct and discipline
now every where manifest
among the vicious element
bespeak more praise than we
need bestow upon his vigi-
lance and efficiency in the i'm
partial performance Of his
duty while in that official
capacity. With a man Of
his caliber to attend to the
judicial affairs of the people
hur parish we can rest as
ed that justice and order
Will be our inheritance for
the four years to come and
that the high dignity Of the
office with which it has been
featured for over a quarter
Of a century will be rigidly
upheld.
Those voters who have not
as yet decided whom they
will support for the Judge.
ship would do we'll to rally
to the standard of Mr.. Mill
ing, as we assure them they
could not support a more
worthy gentleman and one
more thoroughly qualified for
the position. With these few
words the BANNER deems that
it has said all that needs be
said, and it feels hopeful Of
a complete triumph for Mr..
Milling at the polls next
Tuesday.

Hon. Thomas N. Milling the Chroni'
ele's Choice for the Judgeship.

The Chronicle favors the no.
mination and election of Hon.
Thomas M. Milling, of franklin,
to the Office of Judge of the 23rd
| judicial district of Louisiana.
After a careful and deliberate
consideration of the qualifications
and claims of the two distinguish
ed attorneys-Hons. Thomas. NJ.
Milling and Percy Saint-who
are the candidates for the exalted
Office, The Chronicle unhesitat.
ingly endorses the Hon. Thomas
M. Milling for the judgeship OF
the st. Mary district succeeding
Judge Charles A. O'Niell.
Mr.. Milling's record as a public
official; his wide knowledge OF
the law and his familiarity with
the duties of the high Office to
which he aspires; his energy,
courage, honesty and devotion to
the duties entrusted to him, as
clearly demonstrated in his ser
vices as district attorney since his
election to the latter Office in 1908,
all tend to show that he is the
man to be entrusted with the
judgeship, and the record dis
closes the fact that Mr.. Milling is
eminently worthy and deserving
of the higher Office which he re.
spectfully asks the voters OF St.
Mary parish to honor him with by
| casting their ballots for him in
the general primary election on
Tuesday, September 8.
Mr.. Milling is a young man in
years. but old in his practice and
knowledge of both civil and GRIM
inal law of his native state. For
10 years he has practiced his
profession in Franklin, and four
years of this time he has served
the parish as district attorney.
His ability as a lawyer is above
question. He occupies a high
standing among the brilliant legal
lights Of ST. Mary and south and
southwest Louisiana enjoying the
confidence and esteem of hundreds
Of members Of the bar over this
entire section.
The Chronicle heartily approves
and endorses the candidacy Of Mr..
Milling, feeling deeply apprecia-
tive of the good qualities he pos
sesses; Of his eminent qualifica-
tons to make an ideal presiding
Judge of the 23rd La. district
court; of his business; and his ef-
forts always exerted to give every
one a square deal; Of his diligent
and successful work in the Office
which he now occupies with credit
and distinction, and The Chronicle
urges the voters of Morgan City
and st. Mary parish to vote for
Hon. Thomas M. Milling for the
judgeship when they 60 to the
polls on the 3rd day of next Sept
ember.
Believing that Mr.. Milling is the
best man for the Office, all things
taken into consideration, The
Chronicle feels that it cannot too
strongly urge the voters of Nor
gan City and St. Mary parish to
vote for this distinguished gen.
tleman at the primary election on
the 3rd day of next month.-Mor-
gan City Chronicle, Aug. Oath.

An opinion has been received
from Attorney General r. G..
Pleasant by Fred J. Grace, Re-
gister of the State land off ce, to
the effect that under the recent re.
demption act, which permits a
property holder whose property
has been adjudicated to the State
for nonpayment of taxes to re-
deem the property at any time as
long as it is in the hands of the
State, the property holder must
pay all taxes due on the property
and 2 per cent interest per month,
Notwithstanding its adjudication
to the State, provided that the
property has remained on the as
sessment rolls. The effect will be
that where the property has been
adjudicated for any considerable
period the taxes, plus the interest,
will reach a high figure.
