VAUDEVILLE NOTES.

VAUDEVILLE NOTES.
The political pot is boiling for
keeps and many of our political
friends (both died-in-the-wool and
amateur) who have been ALTERNATING
for the past two years are uncover
ing themselves and basking in the
sunshine of public favor. The situa-
ton is something like this: There
are three open and avowed candi-
dates for the mayorality-W. G.
Davis, the present incumbent; F. A.
Jones, ST., and VIM. Shell. The two
latter are members of the present
candidates for the town council Give
to be elected): A. Hartman, A. De-
pre-, E. Dubourg, James Band, Her
man Levy, Charles B. Wilcox, Chas.
Wills, John Favaron and Jas. Davis,
Jr. The present marshal, p. G.
Smith, is unopposed. The Office of
member of the parish school board
from this ward, vacated by the res
| ignation of Mr.. Hansgrough, seems
to be going begging, for although it
is ono of the most important posi-
tons in the parish, there has been
no open announcements for the place.
The election is only sixteen days of,
August 10, yet is is more than prob
able that several dark horses will en-
ter the racce at the last moment.
Both, Judge Stephen ID. Ellis and
the Hon. Clay Elliott, we're visitors
here last week in the interest Of their
respective cadidacies for election as
Judge of the Circuit Court of APP
peals.
Now that the postofice has been
put in the presidential class, the
woods are full of applicants, where
fore Congressman Lewis L. Morgan
is busy man, and withal he is al
ways the same genial and unruff1ed
Lewis, ever wearing the Morgan
smile
Thursday and Friday, as per proc
lamation by his Honor, the Mayor,
were cleanup and rat-killing days,
and the result was anything but en-
couraging. What is needed is a
board of health with an unyielding
backbone playing no favorites and
backed by the moral and active, prln-
c:pally the latter, support OF the
town administration, otherwise. not

is visited by some dreadfully fatal
scourge with its citizens awaken to a
full realization of their objectionable
negligence.
