St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1912-02-10

ca, resign the management of the 81
Tammany Ice and Manufacturin,
Company, the only concern of whicj
nave the active management.
mas been my belief that the qubli
, was fully aware of this fact, and es
peclally so, as have been additional
~ charged with having promised tn,
management of said company to three
dl11erent persons in order to secure
political support. II this particular
charge last mentioned is true, which
deny, then it follows that l did in.
tend, and it was publicly known. that
~ would resign in the event Of nv
election, the management of the St.
Tammany Ice and Manufacturing
Company. Both of these. charges
cannot be true. This charge is mere
iy another sample of unwarranted
and unjustifable accusations which
seem to breed so prolifically during
| election periods, this present election
being no exception to the rule.
NOW in order to put at rest, for
once and all, any Misunderstanding
IN the minds of the people with ref
erence to this charge, l now, specifi-
caHy and publicly promise you. the
people of st. Tammany parish. upon
my word and honor as a man and a
gen. 'lemen, that if am elected I will
resign the management of the St.
Tammany Ice and Manufacturing
Company, and will give my exclusive
time and attention to the duties of
the office of Clerk of Court, and will
bring to bear in the discharge of said
duties the same business knowledge
and training, and the same business
methods that have made, as my
friends are pleased to say, my busi-
ness success The affairs of said
office will be conducted by nc upon
the latest approved methods and in a
business like way in accordance with |
lew. This l promise you upon nv
honor l will do. l cannot promise
you more but this promise l know /
can fulfill and will fulfill.
AS to No. 4: That, if elected.
Will only employ my reatives as dep
aty clerks. l denounce this charge
IS false and untrue. The fact is, a
[act that everybody in the town of
covington knows to be true, 1 have
lot single relative of mine in my
employ. AS the manager of the St.
rammany Ice and Manufacturing
Company l have the absolute power
o employ help and discharge the
anne without question. And, al
hough have brothers, nephews and
'rothers-in-law living in Covington
have not single relative in my en-

n the management of my private af-
airs it is only fair to conclude that
he same business reason, it no other,
will guide me in public affairs. And
ow, in order to put forever at rest
his charge, l promise you, the pee
lie of this parish, upon my honor, ii
lected l will not employ relative,
ither of blood or marriage, as a

will be my purpose, as far as the
evenues of the office will permit,
o select my deputies from the diff
erent localities of the parish, in
rider to give the entire people of

ossible, insofar as this office is con- =
erned. This answers all the charges :
