POLITICAL COMPLICATIONS.

The election OF two school board |
members for the first ward and
one for the third ward. has been
the cause of much political COM
plications.
There are two political factions
in this parish like in every parish
in Louisiana, both composed OF
Democrats, but lately, the ruina-
ton Of the country. particularly
Louisiana's sugar industry, by
Democratic national Legislation,
has caused many Of our people to
become Progressives, because OF
their principles for tho protection
OF American industries, but, until
the Progressives were strong
enough as u party to NEEDLE In
local affairs, it was believed by
many who proclaimed themselves
as such, that they were to limit
their tight to national affairs, aud

it was not successful.
