management.
Everybody is we'll treated at that bank
and everybody is satisfied.
Ask your neighbor who deposits there
and see if ne does not vouch for the
truthfulness of this statement.

Congressman Pujo.

William E. Krebs, campaign mana
per for Congressman Pujo, candidate
for the United States Senate, is very
optimistic over the chances of his can
didate and makes the following state
ment:
1.-The opening of the last three weeks
of the primary campaign find Con-
gresham A. p. Pujo, candidate for
United States Senator, in command
ing position. His high standing in
his profession, his splendid record as
a Representative of the Seventh Con-
gressional District, his frank and
manly stand on public matters and
his recognized ability have made
new supporters for him daily. His
advocacy of Judge Halls election
insures him almost solid vote from
the Hall supporters in both city and
country, and his openness and fairness
in proclaimiDg his allegiance have
won friends for him, even among the
opponents of Judge Hall. Louisiana
likes a man who is not afraid to take
an open stand on any public question,
and whose position thereon does not
vary with each parish he visits.
