[ take this occasion to tender
nv profound thanks to my
friends and supporters in the re-
cent primary election throughout

interested support which ! re-
ceiyed. especially at my home in
the city of Opelousas and in the
two largest towns of the parish,
Eunice and Washington, has al
forded me great qualification.
Considering that there was no
factional alignment to aid me,
that I made my canvass alone
and unaided by official or fac
tional influence and that my
chief opponent was declared
elected by only one majority, in
duces me to look forward to in
dependence of thought and
in our future local politics.
Neither | nor any Of my friends
en- my account have any reason
tc regret the result. From the
first announcement of the count
/ was unwilling to listen to any
suggestion Of a contest and / &C
ceDted and do now accept unre.
seryedly the result as announced
By the board of election commits
