dignified lines, together with a
record that has rec eived the com

the citizens Of this Parish on twJ
former occasions. assures him OF
another and more emphatic en-
dosement on next Tuesday.
We feel positive of Mr.. Hen

have heretofore bitterly opposed
him for fractional reasons solely
but who have realized during thi'
campaign that personal reasons
or bias should be subordinated tC
