be emulated by those about him

Reason Why Mr.. Bodin Was
Ruled Out As Candidate
For Assessor.


overheard an interesting conver
| satlon between two voters of St
John Parish.
After discussing in a good
natured way, the merits and de
merits of the various Candidate.
the following rather pointed
question was asked:
why is it that your friend
Mr.. Bodin, was dropped by his
faction, as candidate for Asses.
sor?"
Because" was the startling
reply, Mr.. Bodin was too hasty
and announced that one of his
first acts would be to Revise and
EQualize the Assessment of each
and every Taxpayer of the
parish. .
is NOT THIS CORRECT
AND PROPER9 ask the listener.
We'll, the LARGE TAX
PAYERS did not care to have it
that way, and Mr.. Bodin's fac
ton was induced to drop him. :"
replied the other.
What does the LARGE TAX
PAYERS expect from the sup
ported Candidate?" inquired the
man.
Well, Mr.. Millet, will natural
ly be obliged to those assisting
him in his campaign, and if
elected, would be duty-bound to
befriend the LARGE TAX-PAY-
ERS, by decreasing their assess
ment, and increasing the assess
ment of the small tax payers. "
said the other.
The man answering these
questions was apparently friend
ly to Mr.. Bodin, according to our
informant. but was willing to
abide by the ruling of Mr.. Bodin,
and vote for Mr.. MilIet. This, !;
we were further advised, was
because the party in question
was from one of the families dis
tinguished by its large and heavy
assessment.
This simplifies matters greatly
when the question israised as to
the reason SO many of the large
taxpayers insinuate that Sheriff
Rerthelot has been in office long
enough. They admit that he has
made an excellent Sheriff; that
he is an honest, reliable and faith
full officer; that he has always
been conservative, but not pre-
JUDGED on public questions. In
other words, Mr.. Berthelot, as a
man. is all right, but really be
