position.

Candidate for County Treasurer on the;
Democratic Ticket.
h One Of the responsible positions in
the county is that Of county treasurer.
The democrats have nominated for
this position a man who, first of all, is
eminently qualified to fill the position
by reason Of his experience in the
banking, machinery and real estate
business-A. f. Moravetz of Brocket.
He has been one of the active business
men of the eastern part Of the county,
and has done a great deal to settle up
and improve the country He is a
staunch citizen, man who can be
trusted and whe always "makes good"
in anything he undertakes. Mr. Mora
vetz believes that a great saving can
be made in the conduct of the treas
urer's office and he will, if elected, in
augurate the same methods Of econo-
my and retrenchment that he would
if he was conducting his private bust
ness. At present, deputies are paid
$500 per month. Mr.. Moravetz believes
that it is not necessary to pay more
than SIS, which is more even than is
paid al. Bismarck, the county seat q
a larger county than Ramsey. The
voters will make no mistake ia elect
ing Mr.. Moravetz treasurer. He will:
make good, and he will. save the tax
payers hundreds of dollars annually.

Chilly Night Is No Deterrent

1t has been many 4 day since
the old courthouse of st. Landry
parish has been host to such d
crowd of men and women as it
was on Thursday night, t h e

Z. Michel and speaking party.
The night was biting cold, so
much so that the meeting place
had to be changed from the Au-
ditoriun1 to the courthouse.
where the heating facilities were
better.
As early as 7;;30 people began
to flock into the large courtroom.
The Times-D Democrat reporter
took vantage point and with
pencil and pad began counting
the people as they came in.
Surely, " it is presumed he

EUNICE Is LOYAL TO

Record Breaking Crowd Turns
Out to Listen TO Sound
Democratic Doctrine.

Eunice, the thriving metro
polls of the West, showed unmis-
taxable loyalty to John T. Michel
and the rest Of the regular Demo
cratic ticket on last Thursday, on
the occasion Of the speaking
there.
1t was admitted BY the opposi-
tion that it was the largest
crowd assembled there this cam
paign; and there was no mistak-
ing the sentiment of the people:
they were with Michel all along
the line. And among the three
hundred people present, there
was but one woman the rest
were men, voters.
The crowd was composed OF
sturdy farmers, who braVed the
distressing condition Of the roads
to come II, and Of the business
people pf the town, who slipped

prominent young merchants of
Eunice, presided.
Prof. Fortier was the first
speaker, and appealed to the
French-speaking people of that
section in a manner that won
votes.
Hon. John T. Michel was IN
troduced in eloquent words, and
proceeded right on hammering
home the essential points why
the State of Louisiana and the
Democracy of the State could be
better served by him than either
Judge Hall or Prof. AsWell. He
spoke of his experience in State
matters, and elucidated on his
platform, which, when carried
out, will prove a financial boon
to this State; and he emphasized
that he did not promise a solitary
thing that he was not absolutely
certain he could carry out.
James G. Henriques, chairman
Of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Orleans, was the
next speaker, and, as usual. did
not forget to draw striking
picture of Jim Wilkinson, ex-
Republican and running mate of
negroes, and the other ex-Repub-
llcans who are today trying to
dictate to the Democrats of the
State who they shall elect to
office. This point told in Eunice,
because the people there are
white supremacists from the
heart, and an ex- snigger man"
has a rough road to travel there
in the way of winning support.
He charged that the Parker
Goo-Goo convention in New Or
leans, June q, would have nonai-
mated a full ticket from top to
bottom but for the fact that they
feared complications, and only
nominated a governor and lieu
tenant governor, SO as to play
both ends against the middle
with minor candidates.
He said Michel had risen from
an Office boy, from the plain peo-
pie, and was a self-rnade man,
who would be the governor of all
the people.
Mr.. Henriques was well re-
ceived and warmly congratulated.
Following the speaking a barbe-
cue was served in a large ware
house. Music was provided by
the Vera Concert Band, Prof.
Guidry leader.
Among those who accompanied
Mr.. Michel to Eunice were DIR. r.
NJ. Littell, Fl. E. Estorge, Darius
Fontenot, assessor; Yves Andre
pont, clerk of court; John NJ.
Oge, A. Fl. Garland, NJ. Il.

should be sheriff, and clerk, ane
! United States Senator, etc, but
they were Of one mind as to who
should be Governor.
This is unprecedented in the
history of St. Landry parish, anC
only man Of Mr.. Michel's emin.
ent, prepoHdering fitness for the
place could have thus filed doWr
the teeth of factionaIism in this
parish.
Why have there men suspend
ed hostilities when it comes tc
Mr.. Michel?
Because Marion Swords as
Sheriff has been thrown with
Mr.. Michel's official life for the
past twelve years.
Because Mr.. Garland as Dis
trict Attorney has had dealings
with Mr.. Michel.
Because Mr.. Andrepont as
Clerk Of Court has been thrown
in contact with Mr.. Michel in
their official life.
Because Mr.. Guilbeau served
four years as Representative
from this parish, and had oppor-
tunlty to acquaint himself with
Mr.. Michels eminent fitness.
Because Mr.. Estorge, as Clerk
of Court, was shown by his Off
cial dealings with Mr.. Michel
that Michel is the right man for
Governor.
Where you find a man who
KNOWS Mr.. Michel, and that
man is of free of personal intel
est or prejudice, you will invari-
ably find d Michel man.
That is the reason for the unity
in ST. Landry parish among the
people who KNOW and have had
business dealings with John 7.
Michel.
