TO The VOTERS
Campaign Committee Of Hon. John
W. Lewis, Issues Address, Giving
Reasons Why He Confidently
Expects to be Elected in
Second Primary

Opelousas, La, Sept. 12, 1912.
To the voters of the Seventh
Congressional District:
The campaign committee of
Hon. John w. Lewis desires to
express its profound appreciation
of the splendid support which
the voters of the Seventh Con-
gressional District gave to him
at the recent primary election,
and to announce that he is q can
didate at the second primary
election which will take place on
Tuesday, Oct. 8, 1912. Mi.
Lewis, without the expenditure
OF a dollar, except for actual
necessary campaign expenses,
lead Mr.. Chappuis by 1876 votes,
and fell only few hundred votes
behind the vote of Senator Laz-
arc. Considering the fact that
Mr.. Chappuis received a total of
1858, and which will be the de-
Gliding factor in the second pri-
mary election, and considering
the conceded fact that a very
large majority of the Chappuis
vote will go to Mr.. Lewis, it will
be seen that the small lead OBJ
tanned by DR.. Lazaro over NH.
Lewis in the first primary cleo
ton will cut but a small figure
indeed in the final result.
Mr.. Lewis is assured from all
portions of the district, that the
Chappuis vote will now go to him
almost in a body, and the predic-
ton is made on all hands that he
will receive at least seventy-fye
per cent of that vote-but if he
gets only sixty per cent of that
vote he will win. This ealcula-
ton is based upon the official re-
turns of the total vote received
by all candidates at the last pri-
mary election, when Mr.. Lewis
had no local organization at any
point in the district. Now he
has a splendid organization in the
parishes Of Acadia, Calcasieu and
St. Landry, and will at an early
date perfect his organization in
all the other parishes of the dis
trict. So thorough and complete
is his plan of organization, that
it will be carried into every vot-
ing precinct in the district, and

the Governor. He said in his
0pelousas address, that he
thought it a good measure, but
voted for it's repeal upon ascer-
tanning thathis constituents were
against it, thus demonstrating
that he lacked necessary legisla-
tive judgement and ability.
He voted for the election of j.
Y. Sanders to the United States
Senate directly by the legisla-
ture, in violation of the primary
election law Of the State.
He subsequently voted for
Judge Thornton to the United
States Senate, against the typical
Creole R. +. Broussard though
his spell binders in advocating
his election to Congress claim
that he is entitled to the Creole
vote because he is himself a Gre
ole.
Three bills in the interest of
the laboring classes and framed
upon conservative lines were
passed and approved of by Gov.
Hall.
The first was to limit the hours
of employment of stationary fire
men and had the approval of the
labor organizations of New Or
leans.
The second was to provide for
the immediate payment Of labor
ing men upon their discharge
from employment for any cause.
The third was to limit defen-
SEES that could be urged by public
service corporations, in suits for
personal injury.
All these three bills had the
the endorsement Of Gov. Hall and
the laboring men of the State,
all passed, all became laws of
the State.
Senator Lazaro cast his vote
against all three Of these meas
ures.
The Senate Journal in the pos
session of the writer win be ex-
hibited to anyone that desires
confederation of these statements.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1912-09-14

The Doctor has claimed in his
public speeches, and especially in
the address made at Opelousas
that he favored and voted for
most of the reform legislation
that was enacted by the General
Assembly since he has been a
member of the Senate, and more
especially since the inauguration
of Gov. Hall.
He voted for Senate Bill No.
So, of 1910, raising the salary of
the mayor of New Orleans to
$40, 600 per annum.
This was q city ring measure
and brought more universal con-
domination down on the city ring
perhaps than any other act
adopted by the Legislature. It
was done for the benefit of the
ring mayor, Behrman, and gives
him double the annual salary that
is paid to the governor of the
State, His vote is recorded at
page los of the Senate Journal
of 1910.
He voted for the bill to raise
the salary Of the Register of the
State Land Office, Grace, from
$500 per annum to Sd, 900 per
annum. Nearly all the lands of
the State have been disposed of
and Gov. Hall denounced and We
toed the bill, because the duties
of the Register were now little
more than to take care of the
records of the office. Senate
Journal p. 658.
He voted to raise the salary of
the Commissioner of Agriculture,
from $500 per annum. This bill
also failed to pass, being opposed
by Gov. Hall.
Gov. Hall favored the adoption
of a law, taking out of the hands
of the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture the authority to appoint an
unlimited number of Fertilizer
Inspectors throughout the State.
Doctor Lazaro aided to defeat
the measure favored by Gov.
Hall, and helped to continue that
unlimited appointing power in
the hands Of the Commissioner
of Agriculture.
DIR. Lazaro voted for the Marks
Educational bill, the purpose Of
which was to place the machin-
cry of the public schools through
out the State under control Of

will not only get out the vote on
election day, but will result in the
voters being induced to go to the
polls, and in the election being
honestly and fairly conducted and
returned. Of course this result
could not have been achieved,
had it not been for the numerous
influential citizens who have vol
unteered to promote Mr.. Lewis
election at the seepnd primary, q
Supports for which he and his
friends vt eOpelousas are pro-
foundry grateful, aid which gives
assurance Of his triumphant cleo
ton to cohgress from this district.
To illustrate the strenth and
popularity Of Mr.. Lewis, we call
attention to the fact that he
carried his own parish of ST.
Landry by a clear majority over
both of his opponents. though
Senator Lazaro, who is his COM
petitor, is a resident of that
parish. This result is all the
more remarkable because Mr..
Lewis had no organization in this
parish and had pitted against him
the sheriff with his far-reaching
organization, the st. Landry
Clarion, the only paper published
in the city Of Opelousas. and in
addition to the Sheriff, Mr.. Yves
Andrpont, Mr.. Z. j. Dossmann,
Mr.. d. M. Fontenot, the assessor
and other prominent political
leaders.
The calculation given above is
based upon the assumption that
Mr.. Lewis will retain his hold
upon his friends and supporters
of which we entertain no doubt.
It is also based upon the assurnp-
ton that Mr.. Lewis in the
second primary will capture none
OF the Lazaro vote, an assumption
which we by no means admit, be-
cause Mr.. Lewis supporters
will invade the territory and vot-
ing precincts now claimed by
Senator Lazaro-

Lake Charles, La, Sept. 9,
1927 had intended to treat
with Indifference the charge that
i was attempting to name my
successor in Congress from this
district, in the person of Mr.
John w. Lewis, of Opelousas,
but realizing that injury might
result to his cause, because of
such report, / want to say why /
am supporting Mr.. Lewis.
i. Because I consider him
competent and of the right age
to make q good Congressman.
Because since attaining
his majority he has actively sup
ported every movement looking
to -the best interests of the people
and for better government in the
state, notably in the last cam
paign, when he gave freely of
his time, money and talents in
behalf of the campaign to re-
deem the state from the baleful
effects of Ring Rule, and which
resulted in the election of Gov
ernor Hall, whose administration
at its very threshold is a guaran-
tee of the redemption of every
promise made by him.
Mr.. Lewis stumped the state
in the interest Of Governor Hall
and in advocacy of the principles
upon which his candidacy was
grounded.
g. Because more than ten
years ago, the first time that
Calcasieu had a candidate for
Congress, when the st. Landry
candidate was no longer in the
race, Mr.. Lewis and his relatives
supported me and they have
always done SO since for that
position. Consequently it is a

HOn.A. PPujOA Announces
His Support Of Mr.. Lewis
In A Strong Published Letter, the Present Congressman
from this District Recommends Mr.. Lewis to the
Voters of this District, and Gives Convincing
Reasons why Mr.. Lewis Should be Elect
ed to Congress to Succeed Him.

pleasure personally, and as a cit
izen of the parish to show my ap-
probation by supporting him,
because Calcasieu and Acadia
parishes never received Federal
recognition, until I had the honor
to represent the Seventh district
in Congress.
Mr.. Lewis election means
nothing to me personally. There
is no political Office that he could
give me, or assist me to obtain,
that could compare in point ct
distinction or of compensation,
with the one that Inow hold, and
which I am giving up voluntarily.
7 feel that Calcasieu owes
something 70 st. Landry, be-
cause of the facts that I have
stated, and as Mr.. Lewis is the
choice Of the majority of the
voters Of that parish. we of Cal
casieu ought to abide the will of
the majority.
Lastly. The people Of this
district have tremendous agri-
cultural and industrial interest
likely to be affected by National
Legislation, and as Mr.. Lewis
stands unequivocally for the pro-
lection Of rice, sugar and lumber.
and has stated that he would not
abide by any caucus action detri-
mental to these industries; it
seems to me that these as well as
other interests apt to be affected.
will he best safeguarded by his

The pretense that the prelimi-
nary skirmish that took place at
the first congressional primary
election decided the question in
favor of DR.. Lazaro, and the call
which the Clarion in its last
weeks issue made upon Mr..
Lewis to withdraw from the
race is the merest rot and news
paper bunkum. Before this cam
paign advances much farther the
Clarion unless it is purblind may
see very convincing reasons to
call upon DR.. Lazaro to with
draw from the race. N o s
verrons.
A writer in the Clarion, sign
ing himself Observer, states
that Il. III. Moss was one of the
first to assure DIR. Lazaro that
the Chappuis voters in Calcasieu
stood ready to support Lazaro in
the event of a run over with Mr..
Lewis" Upon being shown that
statement, Mr.. Moss said that he
had not made that statement,
nor authorized it, that he was
neutral in this contest, and could
anticipate no contingency that
could draw him into it.
Considering the fact t h a t
there are at least $500 Chappuis
voters who will take part in the
second contest between Lewis
and Lazaro, and that Mr.. Lewis
will surely capture q very large
majority of them in the second
primary, the absurdity Of the
claim of the Clarion that the first
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1912-09-14

slight skirmish decided the contest
in favor of DR.. Lazaro, becomes
manifest to every reader of ordi-
nary intelligence.
The next weeks issue of this
paper will contain q complete
list Of the names Of the members
Of the committees Of the several
parishes of the district that viii
have charge Of Mr.. Lewis cam
paign. These committees are
now in process of organization
almost exclusively by the volun-
tary efforts Of Mr.. Lewis sup
porters in every parish of the
District; and will show Senator
Lazaro's supporters what he is
up against in the second primary;
and will also plainly indicate the
final outcome of the contest.
Congressman Pujo and Brous-
sard refused to abide by the
action Of the Democratic Caucus
of the House Of Representatives,
in reducing the present duty on
sugar, rice and lumber. and the
House Caucus excused them on
the ground that they had the
right to follow the instructions
Of their constituents as to these
local issues. Mr.. Lewis can fol-
low the same course, and will
not thereby lose his standing as
a Democrat, if elected to the
House.
