FERNANO M0UT0N,
Candidate for State Senator
From this District.

Lafayette Gazette, Hov., 9th, fs11;-
We reproduce herewith a like
ness of Mr.. Fernand Mouton OF this
city, whose candidacy for senator
OF the 18th senatorial district has
the Gazette's endorsement.
The subject of our sketch is as
well known to our readers as he is
to the Gazette, hence it is hardly
necessary for us to point out or
dwell at length upon his good quail
tiles. AS a man Mr.. MOutOn has
made a record from early boyhood
that has won the esteem of all
those who admire American pluck.
AS a politician his fame is limited
because his endeavors have been
along business lines and political
chicanery is repugnant to him,
though he has shown himself will
ing in the past, as he is in this in
stance, to help his people bear the
burden of government.
Though not an orator OF the
flambOyant type he has i'm our
opinion the main qualifications OF
legislator, either in or Off the
floor OF debate. Gifted with A
good appearance, pleasant address
and natural love or mankind, and
withal a good, sound business man,
he is sure to be a power in the
State Senate for the good of his
constituents and of the whole State.
The press of iberia and st. Martin
have made highly complimentary
mention of Mr.. Mouton's candidacy,
and from these papers and other
sources we observe that Lafa-
yette's claim to a senator is rec
ognized as being just. 1t has been
over dozen years since our par
ish has enjoyed the honor, so now
that we have secured a candidate
who will not only "bring us back
the cup" but do effective work
for us in the legislature, it devolves
upon us to elect him.
Mr.. Mouton is conducting one of
the leading general insurance
agencies in this section. He has
won his way to the front by hard
labor, perseverance and honest in
tegrity. His ability as an insurance
expert has been recognized by the
New York Life Insurance COM
pany, which he still represents. In
1909 this company selected Mr..
Mouton because OF his exception
al executive qualities as their Su-
erintendent of Agents, and in 1904
was returned to Paris and made a.
gency director at Paris, France.
Mr.. Mouton is one of the organ
izers and the President of the Con-
sumers Cold Storage and Canning
Company. He is also a director Of
the Peoples Bank and Trust Com
pany and of the Home Building ard
Loan Association,

barking in the insurance line, Mr.

financially and acquired an enyla'

are now three aSpi' ants for the
two Offices to which this district is
entitled Fernand Mouton, of La
faye1fe, Atty. Walter }. Burke, of
New Iberia, and Atty Emile
VuilIemot, of ST. Martin.
Mr.. MoutOD being Lafayette
man, and, we believe, capable Of
rendering good service to his own
parish and the State at large, de.
serves our first consideration and
should be unanimously endorsed at
the polls on election day.
Another aud very strong reason
why he should be supported and
not alone hy his own parish, bu,
by the citizens of St. Martin and
Iberia parishes, Is the fact that
Lafayette parish has for a dozen
ears or more accorded the senate
tlal bonors to- Iberia and st. M r.
tin. and on the principle that turn
about is fair play, is rightfully en-
titled to the senatOrshlp tins time.
With o,hing derogatory to our
sister parishes, Lafayette now
claims IN simple Justice if nothing,
the right to name one of the sena-
tors in the approaching primary
and We feel confident that the vot
ers of the other two parishes will
view the question III the same
light, especially when the person
al qualifications of Mr.. MOutOn
are taken INTO consideration. As
the press and leading men of all
three parishes have with practical
unanimity, endorsed Mr.. Mouton's
candidacy, his nomination seems
assured beyond per adventure and
the only question yet to BE- settled
is the size of his majDTity.

that Nat makes a big success OF

fuence Of old Graham, as Albert

SCENTS the old villager az simple,
naive, dreamer and gentle en-

curly head SO golden, his innocent
smile SO frank and inviting that we
could not resist the temptation to en-
ter into conversation with him.
Well, son. we said in the idiotic-
ally genial way with which an adult
usually addresses child, "how old
are you?"
Four" lisped the infant Gle didn't
really lisp it, because you can't lisp
when you say four; but that's the way
children are supposed to do.)

AWFUL ECZEMA ON FACE

Freeland, Md.-"Baby's eczema
started in little spots and would burst
and run all over his face and wher-
ever the water would touch his face,
it would make another sore. Pimples
would break out and make his face
sore and infiamed, and he was very
cross and fretful 1t was awful. He
suffered tortures from it, and we had
to tie mittens on his hands to keep
him from scratching. A friend of mine
told me of the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and / went to a drug store and
bought them.
when we would battle his face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment, he would be much bet
ter. He would wake up in the nights
and cry with his face and we would
put on some of the Cuticura Ointment
and then he would rest all night. They
have cured him completely of the

DIR. PAGE MADE BISHOP OF NEW MEXICO

Rev. Herman Page, rector of St
PauPs Episcopal church. East 50th
street and Madison avenue Chicago,
has been chosen bishop OF New Mex
leo by the Episcopal house of bishops.
The announcement of Dr. Pages
election came as a surprise to the
members of his parish. None of the
members had heard of the possibility
of such action being taken. Some
were inclined to express doubt as to
whether DR.. Page would accept the
appointment.
Only one other promotion was
made by the house of bishops, that
being the election of George Biller
Jr., formerly Of New Jersey, to the
bishopric of North Dakota. The
house of bishops was in session for
two days.
DR.. Page has been rector of st.
Paul's church for twelve years. He
came to Chicago from ST. John s
Episcopal church at Fall River, Mass.
