The Judgeship
Contest.

The primary election is now
only eleven days off and all indi.
cations point to an overwhelming
victory for our candidate for the
District Judgeship, Hon. Thos. M.
Milling. We feel confident that
this encouraging outlook will i'm
prove as the time draws near.
Mr.. Milling is now actively in the
fray and is making campaign
that promises to bring out large
vote in his favor. The essential
point for voters to consider in this
particular contest is the experience
of the man who is to wear the
judicial ermine for the ensuing
four years, and the next point Of
Importance is his knowledge Of
the law. Mr.. Milling, on the first
count, is unquestionably we'll
qualified, he now being our eff
icient district attorney-aposition
which enables him to acquire a
thorough knowledge Of all court
methods and procedure. On the
second score-that of a thorough
knowledge of law-he is without
doubt the equal of any man in the
State. Now, as to his personal
qualifications, he is, in every
sense of the word all that could
be desired. We, therefore, can
see no sound reason why any
voter can refrain from assisting
him in his candidacy for the most
important position of trust in our
district. The BANNER ardentlv
hopes to see him elected-con-
fidently feels that he will be, and
knows to certainty that he will
make an ideal judge and one
whose administration of the affairs
of the Office will give universal
satisfaction. Don't fail TO vote for
him.

"Cousin'' Bob Warmly
Welcomed in Franklin.

Congressman Robt. F. Brous.
sard was given rousing recep-
ton by St. Maryites last Sunday
in Franklin. The meeting was
opened by Sheriff Wilson T.
Petcrman, who introduced Mr..
Broussard in a neat and appro-
pirate speech. lauding him for his
valuable services rendered the
people of the Third District and
declared that he was not only the
choice of the people of st. Mary
but of the entire district.
Congressman Broussard spoke
both in English and French. His
addresses were eloquent and full of
convincing arguments, explaining
that he only consented to again
run for the position now occupied
by him in Congress because Of the
urgent appeals and solicitations
of a large number of his warmest
friends and supporters throughout
the district. We believe that it is
best under the circumstances to
again return Congressman Brous-
sard to Congress and from the
enthusiasm being displayed in his
behalf since the inception Of his
campaign at Lafayette a week
ago we can readily surmise that
the great majority of voters in this
part of the district are also in
clined to this belief.
Mr.. L. 0. Pecot, prominent
attorney of our local bar, made an
address which ELECTED much
applause and was a. strong plea
for the reelection of "Cousin"
Bob. /

For Supreme Court.
TO THE VOTERS OF THE FOURTH
SUPREME Court DISTRICT:

SUPREME Court DISTRICT:
Under the primary system,
candidates are called upon to
state to the electorate the reasons
of their candidates.. My candi-
dacy for the Associate Judgeship
of the Supreme Court Of Louisi-
ana is prompted aud based on the
belief that there should be a
change in the method Of reach
ing decisions by the Supreme
Court. Be the cause what it may.
it is undeniable that under the
present system, the litigant
obtains the opinion Of only one
Judge on the law and the facts,
whereas he is absolutely entitled
to the judgment of all five. In
saving this, let it be we'll under
stood that cast no reflection on
the Court as now constituted !:
the evil, however, exists and
Mould be corrected. II further
kislation is necessary, it should
16e enacted at once. | trust my
candidacy will direct public at
tention to this state of affairs and
bring about the desired results.
In common with every one of my
profession, I have a laudable am
bition to be a member of that
distinguished court, and this,
perhaps is accentuated by the
fact that should the people see
proper to chose me | will be the
third generation of my family to
serve on the bench.

Taft Wins.

COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June TO-
The Taft forces won their fight in the
case of the four delegates-at-large
from Indiana this afternoon when
the national committee directed that
the names of the Taft delegates be
placed on the temporary roll These
delegates are Col Harry S. New,
Chas. w. Fairbanks, James E. Watson
and Joseph D. Oliver.
There was material advantage in
this victory for the Taft men as Fair
banks has been selected as chairman
of the resolutions committee should
the Taft forces be in control of the
national convention
Borah declared that while he be-
lieved there had been frauds perpre-
tated and he did not believe he ought
to endorse them still he was satisfied
the evidence showed that primary
was held and that Taft carried Marion
county Because of this he announced
that he could vote to seat the Taft
delegates and Frank Kellogg took the
same attitude. The action of the
committee in seating the Taft dele
gates at large was unanimous.

RAISING Water With Air.

AS all schoolboys know, suction
pump can theoretically elevate water
only about thirty-three and one-third
feet. a column of water of that height
balancing the atmospheric pressure. A
means has, however, been found of
causing suction pump 10 raise water
to height of even sixty feet. The
invention was made by a workman in
the French marine. Monsieur Eys-
serie. the chief engineer OF the ma
rine. remarked that one particular
pump showed extraordinary qualities
in drawing water from ships holds.
Inquiry developed the fact. says Har-
per's Weekly, that workman had
thought of the plan of introducing air
into the water at the point where the
suction was applied. thus producing
an emulsion of air and water, which,
because of its diminisher density, was
capable of being elevated to consider
ably greater heights than pure water.
