that time in New York city. A few
years ago Mr.. Minor was made execu-

DISTRICT ATTORNEY GILBERT RENOM.
MATED.

Among the local candidates for of
ice who have been declared the
nominees of the Democratic party
by reason of having no opposition,
is Hon. Philip Fl. Gilbert, the zeal
Gus and capable district attorney
for the tWenty-seventh judicial dis
trict, comprising the parishes of AS
sumption, Ascension and St. James,
who aspired to succeed himself ia
that position.
Mr.. Gilbert submitted his claims
to his fellow citizens on the record
he has made during the four years
of his official incumbency, and the
sufflcleney OF his plea for. a second
term is amply demonstrated by the
fact that none of the many able ana.
worthy attorneys of the district
cared to oppose him, and his candi-
dacy met with either the active or
passive approval and support of the
people of all three of the parishes
forming the territory over which the
tWenty-seVenth judicial district court
exercises jurisdiction.
The Chief cordially joins the many.

JUDGE LECHE IND0RsED FOR
PROMOTION.

It is intensely gratifying to the
people of this town and parish, and
/ equally SO to those Of the twenty
seventh judicial district, to learn
that Judge Paul Leche has been de
clared the unanimous and unopposed
nominee of the Democratic party for
Judge Of the court of appeals for the
second district of the first circuit,
to succeed Judge L. P. Caillouet OF
/ Lafourche.
Judge Leche, as The Chief recent
" remarked in calling attention to
| lis candidacy for promotion to the
bench of the court of appeals, is now
concluding his third term of service
as judge of the twenty-seventh judi
cial district, composed of the parish
es of Assumption, Ascension and st.
James. He has beer. nominated and
elected to that office three success
tsiye times without opposition, and
no better evidence could be desired
fof his high standing and superior
qualifications. Possessing an essen
tally judicial temperament, always
conservative, calm and just, he per-
sonifies the model jurist, who holds
the scales of justice with impartial
hand and balances them true for
rich and poor, exalted and humble,
without discrimination. Learned in
the law and a sympathetic student of
human nature, his decisions have
ever commanded the respect of the
bar and litigants alike, and we doubt
If any district judge in the state. who.
has been in office for an equal length
of time, can show a better record of
judgments affirmed by the higher
courts.
Donaldsonyille and Ascension are
proud and pleased to have furnished
the second district of the first cir
cult with such an admirable success
sor to Judge Caillouet, for the nonli-
nation in this instance is. equivalent
TO an election, and the basis of this
feeling Of pride and satisfaction is
the conviction that Judge Leche5 will
perform the duties and fulfill the OBJ
legations of this higher judicial sta
ton with the same degree Of ability
and honor that has characterized his
occupancy of the district judgeship
during the past twelve years.
