ALL KINDS or MICHEL
AND SANDERS MONEY
One PARTY In St. Mary Offers to Wager $4,000 on
sanders.--MicheI and Sanders Money
Plentiful Everywhere.

and foregone
conclusion election dream by
offering to bet $1,000 that the
League would not get 947 votes
in that ward, and an additional
$1,000 that Michel would carry
the ward by a thousand major
lily! It has not been taken up.
An old saddler has been trying
his hardest for the past two
months to bet $500 that Michel
would be elected Governor.
Two gentlemen have authorized
the Picayuue to say that they
had $3.50 to 5000 to wager that
Michel would receive more votes
in the first primary than Judge
Hall.
On Mr.. Sanders to be elected
to the Senate, the following dis
patch from Franklin talks into
the thousands:
Franklin, La. Jan, Is. In the
presence of several witnesses
Charles Pecot, of this city, last
night offered to make the follow
ing Wagers with A. Fontelieu, Of
New Iberia:
Thousand dollars even that
Governor Sanders will be the
nominee for the 1915 term; SIPS
even on each ward of st. Mary
that Sanders will carry each
ward; $1,000 to $500 that San
ders will carry st. Mary.
All these bets were refused
by Mr.. Fontelieu. This morning,
over the telephone, Mr.. Pecot
renewed the offers, and offered
to bet Mr.. Fontelieu 81, 600 to
$500 that Governor Sanders will
be the nominee for the 1915
term. This was also refused.
Plenty Of Sanders money was
in evidence here yesterday dur
ing the Broussard meeting, but
it all went begging. The above
offers still hold good, and should
any one desire to take them up,
Mr.. Pecot can be found at his
Office in this city. He states that
he has about SIS, 600 to bet on
Governor Sanders in the coming
election"
All of these offers to bet are
the happening Of one day, and
chronicled in Tuesdays Picayune.

But PUJO HAS
none.
So Declares Bob. BrOussard,
Speaking of His Seventh
District Comrade.

No man has ever suggested
that MI. Pujo could hold a meet
ing Of his own,o said Congress
man Robert F. Broussard, in a
recent speech, after commenting
upon the manner in which the
Congressman from the Seventh
District annexed himself to the
Democratic Good Government
League"
That was cruel enough, coming
as it does from one playmate to
another, but still more cruel is
the statement made by Brous-
sard in the same speech: Mr..
Pujo doesn't belong to the class
of men who are willing to go out
and battle for a principle. He
is merely taking advantage of a
situation for his own ends. No
man who occupies that position
can represent Louisiana in the
Senate as she should properly be
represented. Governor Sanders
at least has the Americanism
about him to blaze his own way.
He has always cut out his own
path, although it has often been
the wrong way"
Pujo is about as complimentary
about cousin" as Cousin is.
about him. He calls Broussard
Republican, Cannon right-hand-
bower, chides him about having
been kicked off Of the Ways and
Means Committee, Ito which he
had been appointed the day after
he had played the traitor to his
party, as soon as the Democrats
came in power etc. The quarrel
between the erstWhile playmatest

JUDGED BY OWN STAND
BE
Figures Showing That RansdelI Has Drawn More
Money In Office than Has
Senator Foster.

Editor Clarion:
Mr.. Ransdell has given US a
reason why the people should de-
feat Foster the allegation that
they have already paid him
sufficiently for the services he
has rendered.
In taking that position Mr..
Ransdell placed himself in the
situation of the engineer who
was hoisted by his own petard."
A comparison Of what the
people have paid to each can not
be appropriated only because Mr..
Ransdell was compensated dur
ing a large portion of his career
in public Office by the obnoxious
fee system, and he has declined
to tell the people what he has
received.
The account stands about this
way:
s years District Attor-
ney, salary and fees
approximately 81, 500
per year S SO, 0O0
4 years Levee Board
Member per diem and
incidentals, estimated
at $3.50 per year 1000
80 days member Consti-
tutionaI Convention
per diem $500 $50
IL years Congressman,
salary So, 900 per year 55, 600
2 years Congressman,
salary ST, 500 per year $4,000
$1e7, $50
Mr.. Ransdell has charged that
this IS incorrect he IS right.
served twelve years instead
of only eight, which makes the
account stand:
Amount written above $107. $50
4 additional years as Dis
trict Attorney at 81, 500 18, 900.
----
SIPS, $50
Senator Foster has drawn
from the people approximately
as follows:
II years State Senator,
per diem Sd. 90 and ses-
sions so days each
alternate year, equalling
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1912-01-20

$94, $40
Thus, Mr.. Ransdell has been
paid $50, $40 more than Senator
Foster has received, hence ac-
cording to the dictum he has es-
tablished, he ought to be retired.
MI. Ransdell charged Senator
Foster with serving two mas
ters' because he practiced law
while a United States Senator.
Mr.. Ransdell held three offices at
the same ime-D istrict Alto
ney, Member of the Levee Board
and Member of the Constitu-
tional Convention, and he prac-
ticed law all the time. Accord
ing to his dictum, he served
-four masters
He said Foster should be de-
feaCed because ne IS a ring man.
Mr.. Ransdell became District
Attorney as the creature of the
Ring in Madison and East Car
roll parishes; he was sent to the
State Constitutional Convention
by the Ring; he was elected to
Congress by the Ring in the
Fifth Congressional district and
he is being supported to-day by
the Ring in the river parishes of
that district.
As a perennial papsucker'
and a rambunctious ringster, Mr..
RansdelI has ne equal in the
roster of present day Office
holders.
According to the standard he
has set up, he ought to be de-
feated.
