Andrew currIe.

To-day there appears an article in the
Enterprise announcing Andrew Currie of
Shreveport as candidate for membership
in the Board of Equalization for this dis
trict. Mr.. Currie has been leading citi-
zen of Caddo Parish for the past forty
years, has occupied many prominent Off
cial positions, and has often been weighed
and never found wanting. He is thoroughly
familiar with all public affairs, entirely
conscientious, and will fill the place well If
he is elected. He has held too many
places of honor and trust to go wrong now,
and it is q safe proposition to elect him.
We expect to vote for Currie, because we
think it will be hard problem to find a
more suitable man for the positions Mans
