NOT UNDER THE LAW.

There has been . whole lot oil
talk among the defeated old ring
! politicians because of the fact thai
Mr.. D. P. Martin who is tho nom.
Dor of the School Board had qua.
lifted az Mayor of Arnaudville,
which action they thong ht had
nulli6ed his commission of School
Board member, and had tho Gov.
srnor to order an election for q
member Of tho School Board from
tho fifth ward.
But the legal side of this matter
was looked into and no election
will be held.
The following letter was written
to Mr.. Iphis Fournet, Chairman

1t has been determined by tho

of the Parish Of st. Martin, and
tho proclamation issued by him
ordering 40 election in that ward
has been revoked, and this is trans.
mitted to you ~ Chairman of tho
Board Of Supervisors Of Election
to the end that no steps may b.
taken by that Board looking to
tho holding Of an election to fill
the vacancy in that Office.
This election was ordered upon
the theory that . vacancy had
been created by the acceptance on
the part Of Mr.. D. P. Martin, of
tho Office of Mayor Of Arnaudvills,
but since the Attorney General
has held that the dual-ofice hold.
ing act, in 90 far ss it is sought to
be made applicable to municipal
officers, 10 unconstitutional, it re-
suits that no vacancy exists, and
the proclamation was issued as to
that Office in error.

above the door the gilt title Of some

idea. and thus the word cabin was
gradually alternated by state room.
For years the best cabin was still
