A CARD.

I wish to publicly thank those
friends who so Loyalty supported my
candidacy for school board member
from the Fifth Ward during the re-
cent primary, and trust that | will
be thought worthy to receive the
aid and support of all friends OF
the cause of education at the second
primary to be held some time in
October.
Should l be elected l pledge my
word as a gentleman to exert all the
influence at my command for the
benefit of the children in our public
schools. During my experience OF
eight years as a member of the
Parish Board of School Directors,
have ever been a strong believer in
the doctrine which teaches that our
schools are being run solely for the
benefit of the child and not for the
benefit of teacher or patron.
Very respectfully,
w. H. KAHL.

Repels Attack of Death.

"Five years ago two doctors told
me l had only two years to live. y
This startling statement was made
by Stillman Green, Malachite, Col.
''rhey told me / would die with con-
sumption. 1t was up to me then to
try the best lung medicine and l be-
gar to use DR.. Kings New Discovery
1t was we'll l did, for to-day l am
working and believe owe my life
to this great throat and lung cure
that has cheated the grave of another

that is safest. Price so cents and

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

There IL q rumor in circulation
that Mr.. Kahi and have been or
dering whisky together, that he up
holds and encourages me in drink
ing. Now, l suppose that this II
IN electi0neering ruse and l hate to
be tangled up with 1t. but to give
Mr.. Kahl sweet justice l under oath
do testify to the falsity Of such re-
port; there Is no truth in It; but
on the contrary Mr.. Kahl has often
told me that ought to quit drink
ing and II didn't he could no long
er approve of my course.
Therefore. attribute my discard
ing the deceitful, damnable stun. 1t
least In part, to Mr.. Kahls good
advice.
I write this for one and only one
purpose and that one purpose is this:
| want the people to come into DOS
session of the truth.
Sincerely yours,

limited to period not exceeding sia
weeks. Now, when l have an oppor.

!: limited to period not exceeding six
weeks. Now, when have an oppor-
tunity to visit the other ten parishes
of the district, it is proposed that the
candidate be selected by plurality
vote and no further election be held.
This proposition does not come from
those who supported my candidacy
originally, but seems to have origi-
mated near Judge O'neiPs home, and
after he had secured plurality.
"The reasons for dispensing with
further primary, SO far as l have
read, are two. The first is based on
the cost of a second primary, esti-
mated at $4,000. This is largely
excessive, as the costs would fall
within $500 to a parish. In nine
of the sixteen parishes second pri-
| mary will be necessary to nominate
a Congressman. In the remaining
seven the cost ought to be less than
$500. But it seems to me this
, would be a poor reason for not held
| ing second primary as contemplat-
ed by the law. 1t might be a good
reason for changing the law and
permitting nominations to be made
by plurality, in which event each
candidate would be warned before
hand and then govern himself ac-
cordingly.
THE second reason given is that
the returns show that Judge O'neil
is the choice of the people of the
| district. To arrive at this conclu-
sion, we would have to start with
| the fact that he received a plurali-
! ty vote, from which it would be in
ferred that he was the choice of the
| majority, and therefore the choice
of the whole people. This reason is
| specious. Considerably more than a
majority of the people of the dis
| trict have expressed a choice for
other candidates than Judge O'Neil.
In his campaign speeches he placed
his five Opponents in class, and
| himself alone in different class.
! A majority of the voters have de-
! clared against his class. Enough of
the voters to change the result have
expressed their choice as between
the two highest cadidates. Judge
O'Neil and myself. Respecting the
statutes of the States. and believeing
that the people should have an op-
portunity of expressing their choice
between the two candidates entitled
| to run in the second primary, l have
concluded to exercise my privilege
and do my duty by the voters by de-
clining to withdraw my candidacy.
"The first editorial on the subject
| as it appeared in the HOuma Courier,
assigns as another reason for having
no second primary is that it could
only result in additional mortifica-
tion to the defeated candidate. by
which it appears l am designated.
This anticipated modification is a
matter entirely personal to myself
and if am willing to face the posi-
BILE sting of defeat, it would seem to
me it should be of small concern to
Others .

SEES NO REASON
FOR WITHDRAWING.
Judge Reid Says He Intended all
Along to Make His Best Efforts
in Second Primary, and Has Not
Crossed the River as Yet.

Amite City, Sept. 9.-Judge Robt.
r. Reid will begin an active cam
paign of this Supreme Court District
and although Judge Charles A.
O'Neil has a considerable lead the
friends of Judge Reid in this sec
tion are anxious that he make the
fight, and feel confident that there
is a splendid chance for the candi-
date from the Florida Parishes to
win. Judge Reid, in reply to the
effort that has been made to dis
courage second race, gave out the
following statement:
"As the papers have taken up for
discussion the situation in the 4th
Supreme District and seem inclined
to discourage a second primary, l
hope it may not be impertinent for
me to present the other side of the
case.
1T will be remembered that in
the first primary there six candi-
dates for the Office of associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court from the
Fourth District, of whom one was
from the parish of Lafourche, one
from the parish of St. Mary, one
from the parish of iberia, one from
the parish of Assumption, one from
the parish of Ascension and one
from the parish of Tangipahoa.' 1t
will be noted that five of the candi-
dates were from adjoining parishes
and judicial districts and one alone
from that part of the Supreme Court
District east of the Mississippi river
generally known as the Florida par
ishes
"Owing to the prcss of profession
al engagements and other causes. il
was exceedingly inconv ,niant for me
to visit the large territory compos-
ing the district, and in fact l only
reached, in hurried way, six OF
| the eastern parishes. l devoted my
