George Wear, Jr.

In this issue of The Waterman
appears the announcement of
George Wear, Jr., as a candidate
for the office of District Attorney
Of this, the 30th district.
Mr.. Wear is we'll known
throughout this parish, being
born raised in this parish. He
has made his home in the Parish
of LaSalle for the past three
years, but during that time has
held his practice in this parish,
visits US at least once a month,
and while legally a citizen OF
LaSalle he refers to Caldwell
parish as ''home."
As an attorney, Mr.. Wear has
handled some of the most impor-
tant and most complicated cases
in this district and has made a
splendid record.
His work in the Intrekin and
Mizel cases attracted state wide
attention; and he served the
Good Government League with
distinction in the purging OF the
registration rolls of the Parish Of
LaSalle.
Mr.. Wear is a young man Of
proven ability as a lawyer. He
does his own thinking and puts
his own ideas into execution. He
is a studious and careful lawyer,
and if elected will give the cases
coming under his jurisdiction
careful study and vigorous prose-
cution.
We take pleasure in commend
ing him to the voters of the
parish.

That a new system, a new era,
has come to pass in Louisiana
politically is indicated by the
way the dual ice-holders are
divesting themselves of one or
the other of their jobs. The air
is pregnant with the reform
spirit; there seems to be an in
stinctive realization Of the fact
that a governor has come into
power who says what he means
and means what he says-a gov
ernor who means to keep and
redeem his pledges and promises
to the people. Monroe indie

Judge Hall Becomes Governor.

Luther E. Hall, of Ouachita,
became governor Of Louisiana
shortly after one o'clock Monday
afternoon. After taking the oath
of office, administered by Chief
Justice Joseph A. Breaux, of the
Supreme Court, Governor Hall
delivered his inaugural address,
which was received with spon-
taneous enthusiasm by thousands
of loyal friends and well-wishers,
who had gathered in the Capitol
grounds to hear it.
Though the ceremonies which
marked the passing of the San
dels regime in Louisiana
and the beginning of a new
era in the States history
were simple, they were none the
less impressive. Thousands Of
enthusiasts greeted Governor
Hall. Hundreds lined the streets
through which the inaugural
parade passed.
Governor Halls introduction
into office was accomplished amid
scenes that were impressive and
inspiring. AS he stepped to the
front of the platform from which
he delivered his address the cadet
band Of the State University
played Dixie" and a great
cheer rose. from the threats of
those assembled on the grounds
adjoining the State House.
It was some minutes before
the governor could proceed. The
policies outlined in his inaugural
message to the people appeared
to meet with unqualified ap-
proval. His voice could be heard
distinctly in remote portions of
the capitol grounds and he was
frequently interrupted with ap-
plause.

derisive laughter as he sat upon
the limb of a neighboring oak and
eyed the man up the tree. The
man grated his teeth and uttered
a curse beneath his breath as he
thought how insignificant he
must be, that even a skulking
owl should make bold to laugh at
him. But bark! there now fell
upon his ears a sound that in
fused his heart with neither
dread nor danger, but hope; for
it is was the familiar and rapid
put, put, put, put of a gasoline
launch. Then Frank let out a
yell that would have done credit
to a steam caliope, and in a few
minutes, although it seemed
hours to him, Frank swung HIM
self boldly from his high perch
onto the deck of the Gray Eagle.
They cruised about for a time in
search of the lost boat, and final
ly found it still clinging to the
monster, but instead of the huge
alligator that Frank thought it
was, it was only a choctaw log,
darkened with age, but the ham,
mers of the gun had been driven
into it with tremendous force,
and if it had been the fierce all
gator that Frank thought it was,
no doubt it would have reared
with pain and retired from the
combat.
Ihere Is not a tlnge OF unman-
illness in Franks heart, but there
was an overflow of thankfulness
in it for his timely deliverance,
and all the way home he was
constantly putting his arms about
Mr.. Myers neck and saying
Goddess you my brother. +"

A Lost Political Party in
Louisiana.

A pathetic outcome Of the re-
cent election is the sad estate
into which the G. O. P. has fall
en- in Louisiana. Torn by inter-
nal dissensions, broken by quar-
relling factions, lin which spite
and bitterness are painfully
prominent, this party has lost its
franchise, and for the time being
has no legal recognition Of it's
existence.
Louisiana needs a live and ag-
gressive Republican party to
check the wild career of its oppo-
nent, which is liable to run into
excuses when so completely
dominant as it is today.
The work which the Good Gov
eminent league has felt itself
called upon to do should have
been done by a strong, health op-
position party Of national scope.
Through its internal dissensions,
fostered by the greed Of federal
patronage, the Republican party
has missed a fine opportunity of
rising to the dignity of a worthy
antagonist, and of serving the
best interests of the state. It is
a strange anomaly that the Dem
ocratic party moves serenely
along with the Republican policy
of protection in one hand, snd the
Democratic ideal of loyalty to
the tradition Of the fathers in
the other, while the real thing
needful to care for the sugar
and rice interests has become
little other than a political joke
in our midst. The fallen condi-
ton Of the G. @. P. is the divis-
ion of a minimum of reality by a
maximum Of disturbing elements,
not one of which stands for a
vitality live issue.
The G. O. P. is now taking
treatment in the hospital for the
politically insane. 1t is to be
hoped that the treatment will
prove salutary, that its retire.
ment will be temporary, and that
it will come forth clothed and in
its right mind. AS true Demo-
Gratis we love a good fight; but
we want to do battle with a foe
man worthy of our steel. IN. O.

Lost in Flood
Scared by Strange Reptile Which Appears
Under Boat Climbs Tree and Spends
Night-Rescued by Capt. J.
F. Myers Of Gray Eagle

It was the hour of midnight.
and in the flooded and deserted
homes of the denizens there was
darkness and silence, and from
beyond the swirling waters, even
from the depths of the flood that
widened in every direction and
gave to the surroundings the ap-
pearance of illimitable space,
there was not a sound to be heard
save the steady dip of oars by a
belated wayfarer as he struck
the bosom of the deep with a
regularity that betokened his de-
termination to reach the western
confines of the flood before he
should seek solace in the arms of
morpheus. And as he strained
his eyes to peer through the
darkness that was cast across
the waste of wood and flood, in
a vain effort to search out the di.
rectlon of the uncertain path that
stretched before him in the
gloom. a sound fell upon his ears
that caused his overworked heart
to beat upon the walls Of his
trembling breast with such des-
perate strokes that that organ
was making a last heroic effort
to warm the blood that had been
frozen by that sound and send it
on through his veins in order that
the brittle thread of life might
not be snapped asunder. He
lifted his oars from the water,
letting his little craft drift where
soever it would, and strained his
ears if he might catch a repeti-
ton of that sound, but instead
there came that painful stiffness
that presages danger and DEATH
and the heart that had throbbed
and surged in the breast Of that
benighted boatman, had from
very exhaustion. almost ceast
to beat, when there came again
a sound like the bellowings Of
some huge water monster. And
as the lone wanderer sat helplesS
and alone in his boat, making hiy
first appeal for divine assistance
and struggling with a faintness
that was stealing over him like d
breath from the grave, he gave
out an intuitive call for human.
aid. His eyes peered through
the gloom and the mist, and IN
his wretchedness he imagined
that he caught sight Of the form
Of the grim monster which he
was sure was stealthily gliding
towards him with its great jaws
already opened wide to receive
him as he should be hurled from
his frail boat.
But with courage that is born
Of desperation, he laid down his
oars and took up his gun, yet he
Old not shoot, for the light, open
boat had already passed over the
body of the dark colored object,
and its occupant expected every
moment that both would be hurl-.
ed into the air by some sudden
upward movement of the great
reptile, only to fall back into his
wide open jaws and to be swal-
lowed up, yet he dealt it a blow
that would have done credit to
Sampson or Herculese, but with
the terrific impact the gun broke
and fell into the water. Just then
a friendly oak which CHANGED to

water stretched it's friendly arms
down within reach, and with the
agility Of a red fox squirrel, he
caught on and was immediately

 The form of the ballot in general elections Is given in section 3S0 of the code of 1907. I think that no person or organiza ton of any party can puh- fish upon the ballot to be used by cleo tors any indication whatever, or any figure or word not authorized by the statute. in reference to the manner of voting. And the purpose of the law in respect to primary elections is precisely the same as that in reference 10 general elections, as confirmed by section 22 of the primary election law. said purpose being to bring to the discharge of the electoral choice the indiN sdual opinion of each elector In the selection of his candidate.
 "I therefore answer your questions by saying, G) that no committee of any party, or any person. or manager for any candidate, has any right to submit a list of delegates to be voted for as whole in any primary election.
 "t2) My opinion is that the names of all candidates must be printed by the judge of probate precisely as he is accustomed to printing them in general elections-that is. the n---s of all can didates for delegate to be printed un- der the name of the office, without any designation, and without designating that any particular ones of them are selected by any particular candidate.
 "f3) The executive committee of the democratic party of Montgomery coun- ty had the privilege of adopting the resolution at it's meeting on the 18th ut., providing for the manner in which the names may be printed on the bal lot, but their action is only declara- tory of their opinion about the matter, the action to be pursued in reference to it being left entirely with the judge of probate, as in the case of general elections.
 "(D In reference to -re printing of the ballots, you will be governed by section of the primary election law, and section 406 of the code, which re- quires the strict supervision of the judge of probate, as in the discharge of other official duties; and the ex- pensess are governed by the law in ref erence to the expenses of general elec tions. w.

Duties of Probate Judge

This statute regulates the duties Of the judge of probate in reference to pri- mary elections as the statutes do in ref erence to general elections. Turning to section of said act it is therein provided how and by whom the names of all can didates for offices shall be certified to you. The chairman of the state execu- tive committee of the party must cer- tify to the secretary of state the names of all candidates running for office who are voted for by the voters of more than one county, and the secretary of state certifes this list to the judge of pro- bate: and the chairman of each county executive committee of the party holding such primary election certifes to the judge of probate the names of all candi- dates for county offices. These are the avenues, and the only avenues, by which the names of candidates can reach the judge of probate.
 'The same section provides that the judge of probate of each county shall. as provided in the general election laws of Alabama. have prepared all ballots to be used for voting at such election, except that the ballots shall be prepared so that each office the candidates for which are to be voted upon shall be sep arate on the ballot from each other office, and immediately under the title of such
