that num1 of the candidates who
mad the largest deposits of money
With the chairman of the parish COM
mittee have signified their willingness
to let whatever balance is due them re-
main in the chairman's hands for use
of the committee, there being need for
such fund, for stationery, postage,
advertising, ETC., and the suggestion is
made that all of the candidates should
donate the committee any balance due
them. The amount is small for any of
the eighty odd candidates who made
deposits, the pro rata for return in
most cases being only few cents for
those who made deposits of $1.00 and
81. 90 with the chairman
Resolved, That while the primary
election law provides for the return of
balances to the candidates,
there is nothing to prohibit the COM
mittee from accepting donations for
party campaign purposes; therefore no.
tice is given to all candidates that if
they apply to A. A. Dean, chairman,
at Paramount, La, at any time before
May is, 1912, for any balance that may
be coming to them, the same will be
and that in the absence of
