More and more it looks like Mr.. Roosevelt
will be the Republican nominee for the Presi-

Whether or not there is anything in the
rumor that Senator LaFollette will withdraw
from the race, and throw his support to

it is evident that President Taft is losing

Dear Sir: Would you kindly give
your opinion through the jeff as to
the probability Of the claims of the

Yours truly,
G.. MAJOR TABER.

The article enclosed by Mr.. Taber
was about that poor crazy creature.
John Wilkes Booth.
It is curious coincidence that
there should have been, in 1872,
John w. Booth who married a
young widow in the mountains of
Tennessee. If Mrs. L. A. Howard,
who claims to be the daughter of
the assassin, can prove by the old
people of the neighborhood that her
alleged father was a stranger, COM

De Soto Parish Board Heavily in Debt,

A recent dispatch from Mans
field, La, says: San election
was held in DeSoto Parish to vote
a 21-2 mill tax in aid of the public
schools, and the proposition was
defeated by at least 2 to 1 both in
number and in property valua-
ton. The Parish School Board il

and they had given notice that if
the tax was defeated there would
be no public schools opened next

districts will now vote q special

The vote throughout the parish
was very light. Many who favor
local school dist<ict tax for one
year voted against the parish tax
for Ave years."

latter day solons may now rest
from their profound deliberations
with the proud consciousness of
knowing, at least, that if they did
not do their State any special

in doing it no special harm. The
present administration, no doubt,
verify believed that the people, at

that the death of ringi>m and
boss'sm was the chief reform that
the dear people needed and de-

that the adoption of the ultra

For Supreme Court.
To THE VOTERS OF THE FOURTH
SUPREME Court DISTRICT:

10 THE Y OTERS OF THE FOURTH
SUPREME Court DISTRICT:
Under the primary system,
candidates are called upon to
state to the electorate the reasons
of their candidates.. My candi-
dacy for the Associate Judgeship
of the Supreme Court Of Louisi-
ana is prompted aud based on the
belief that there should be a
change in the method of reach
ing decisions by the Suprem e
Court. Be the cause WI 1T itmay,
it is undeniable that under the
present system, the litigant
obtains the opinion of only one
Judge on the law and the facts.
whereas he is absolutely entitled
to the judgment of all five. In
saying this, let it be we'll UNDER
stood that cast no reflection on
the Court as now constituted !:
the evil, however, exists and
should be corrected. If further
legislation is necessary, it should
be enacted at once. l trust my
candidacy will direct public at
tention to this state of affairs and
bring about the desired results
In common with every one of my
profession, l have a iaudab'e am
bition to be q member of that

perhaps is accentuated ny the
fact that should. the people see
proper to chose me l will be the

OUR CHOICE.

The Morgan City Outlook OF
date July 9th, has the following
to say of our choice for Judge OF
the 23rd Judicial Distribution.
Thos. NJ. Milling. The BANNER
supported Mr.. Milling for the
District Attorneyship in 1908, and
have no regrets for doing go, as
his record in that Office speaks for
itself and need no words of praise
from our hands. The editor of
the BANNER knew Mr.. Milling as
boy, and consequently knew
him when he first came to this
parish. He comes from good old
Southern stock a prominent fam
lily Of North Louisiana, and his
fealty to the Democratic party
has always stood every test since
he has been able to cast his vote.
His ability as lawyer is above
question and his personal quail
ications are such as to give every
guarantee that the affairs of the
high Office he seeks could not be
entrusted into safer or more equit.
able or fearless hands.
Mr.. Milling is the BANNERS
choice for the Office of Judge ofthe
23rd judicial District, composed
o. the parish of st. Mary, and in
making this choice we do SO with
the absolute confidence that a
better, more deserving or more
meritorious choice could not be
made. We therefore recommend
Mr.. Milling to the voters and
urge them to assist him in his
laudable ambition. Says the
Outlook:
1T. NJ. Milling comes Of sturdy
stock in North Louisiana. The
members Of the family arr deeply
imoued with the moral and re-
ligious ideals Of our Christian
civilization; and have faith in the
ultimate triumph of truth and
righ.. His professional life has
taken its inspiration and assumed
its character from the conditions
and atmosphere of Franklin. He
has acqul.ed his method in l. v
and politics from the soil and
teachings and the general cult of
St. Mary He is thoroughly iden-
tiled with the interests and the
future of this section He has
learned its needs as district at
torney; and has given hostage for
loyal devotion to what is best f,r
its people by marrying lady Of
St. Mary, who represents what is
best in it's social and ethical
ideals. In moral sense, he is to
the manner born: his public life
is part of st. Mary's record she
would not have erased"
