The Jennings Record, IN IL column
article in TUESDAYS issue takes eXcep-
ton to the fact that the Journal has
published letters or statements from
Jennings citizens admitting that they
recognized they were fighting for
lost cause. we published letter from
q Jennings citizens in last weeks issue
of the journal, in which the writer
freely admitted that welsh had won
out in the parish seat fight. We can
also sight any doubterS to number
of Jennings citizens who have made
the same admission since they were SO
thoroughly beaten in the first pri-
mary. Further more the article referred
to while seeking to give assurance OF
Jennings confidence, practically admits
that the charges made by the Journal
are true. 1t says, but even if tie
Jennings supporters did think that
welsh would be the winner they would
not desert Jennings" However Jen-
nings confidence amounts to but little
in the present instance. They were
"Confdent" they would win out over
both their competitors on the 24th,
and failed to even lead the race They
were "Conlidenth they would carry
Elton bv a big majority, which they
did not do, welsh carving that pre-
cinct by splendid majority. They were
confident" that they would get Y tol4
votes in WOODLAND, but with the Law
ish use of intimidation. Doodle and
booze they succeeded in securing but
five votes there. They were' confident"
they would carry Roanoke precincts
by a big majority, but instead the tel
lerS coucted out splendid majority
for welsh, and so we might enumerate
number of other instances where
Jennings confidence" was sadly at
fault The Journal has stated and we
are prepared to substantiate the
statements that number Of the lead
inc supporters of Jennings have
practically admitted that they stood
no show of winning in the coming
election.

Elton Voters Intimidated by Jennings

We note from the Jenning Times
Record that she is complaining be-
cause Welsh is showing her distress
to the voters of Lake Arthur. Jen-
nings however does not mention the
fact that she is an ardent woer at the
same shrine. Possibly her long face
and complaints are indicative of her
success.
1t is also understood that there
was strong pressure brought to bear
IN at least four cases at Elton in our
recent parish seat election TO intimi-
date or cOerce voters il favor of
Jennings. The names of each and
every one of these parties are we'll
known and the cold facts pertaining
to same are also known. Consider
ing the other known actions of the
Jennings supporters, we were not
much surprised, but for their infor-
nation they are notified in advance
that coercion and Intimidation in the
matter of controlling votes makes
null and void free elections, and is
therefore positive violation of the
laws of the state of Louisiana. They
are now invited to continue this class
of business in face Of the next Grand
Jury.-Elton Progress,
In this connection it has come to
the knowledge OF the editor of the
journal that Jennings supporters not
content with intimidation resorted to
sundrv methods of furnishing parties
who voted for Welsh, after the elec.
ton. In one instance man who
voted for Welsh was employed run
ming d threshing engine for Jen-
nings supporter. As soon as the
owner of the machine found out that
his engineer had voted for Welsh he
Fired" him. In another instance
"a Welsh supporter had little house
on vacant land belonging to Jen-
nings advocate who, when he learned
of his voting fer Welsh ordered him
to move his house Off his land at
once. His neighbors, who were
Welsh supporters like himself
as listed him to move his
house and furnished him land upon
which to place it. Many other in
stances along similar lines could be
mentioned, all showing what straights
Jennings is in.

This reply in many respects repre-
sents our feelings relative to the
numerous MEASUREMENTS being
continuously made by our Jennings
friends. However their latest Mis-
representation, made in Wednesdays
paper is go utterly at variance with
the truth, that we take moments
time to kick it into the political
garbage dump, where most of their
parish seat argument has already
gone. Replying to simple state
ment of u fact made in the Journal
some time ago, that there were l66
vacant houses in Jennings, the Record
of the 9th inst says: passengers on
the S. P. train may look out of the
window at Welsh and count six frame
buildings facing the road just south
of the depot, and of these four are
empty" Now the FACTS of the case
are that of the six buildings referred
to, there are BUT TWO VACANT,
one of these has been leased and
stock of goods will be put in it in
the near future, ana the other belongs
to a JENNINGS MAN who went out

Another Jennings Advocate Fails to
Produce Argument.
Continued from page one)

Now we have no criticism to make on
this phase of Mr.. Braden's article, as
we sincerely hope that both Jennings
and Lake Arthur may in the course of
time become large and hourishing
cities. But we would call his attention
and that of others contemplating vot-
ing for Jennings, the Town on the
Border, for parish seat, that while
Chicago located on the border of the
state become one of the greatest cities
not only of her state, but of the United
States as well. with nearly two million
population, the people of Illinois in
their wisdom did not choose Chicago.
with herice plant, electric lights, NOV
ing picture shows, and butter factory
for their capital but did choose Spring
field. a town of only one tiftieth the
population Of Chicago, BUT 10
GATED IN THE APPROXIMATE
CENTER. And again while the good
people OF Missouri might have chosen
for their capital city, st. Louis with
its more than half million population
or Kansas City with its nearly 200, 900
population, they did neither, but
chose instead, Jefferson City with less
than 1900 population, BUT CEN.
TRALLY LOCATED. These are but
two OF the many examples that mtobt
be sighted to show that the practice Of
nearly all states and counties has
been, to choose as their capital, the
Town or city nearest the center rather
than the one having the largest pop.
ulation.
MIR. Voter when you vote for the
location of the parish seat on the END
can you do better than to follow the
example OF the hundreds of states and
counties that have made this same
choice in the past? Can you do better
than to locate YOUR parish seat
in the CENTER of YOUR parish? we
believe not. We believe when the vote
shall be counted on October 22nd
welsh the center of the Parish will
have been chosen as the Parish Seat

fought for parish division for the past
sixteen years, and shouted in stento.

demanded the division of Calcasieu,

22nd, and declare with equal ferver
