Announcement

7 WISH to inform my friends
4 and the voters generally of
Bossier Parish through the COL
umns of the Banner that I have
become a candidate for Assessor,
subject to nomination at the COM
ing Democratic primary election.
7 For some weeks past l have
been canvassing the parish in a
quiet way, making my object
known to all, and that I have met
with free encouragement from
many sources to run for the Office
is why have decided to enter the
race. I would not have done so
without first having secured IA
vorable expression from a number
of the representative citizens of
the parish.
7 In making my rounds l have not
as yet thoroughly worked every
corner of the parish. That has
not been possible; but I hope to
meet each and every voter. In the
event l do not, please remember
that your support is earnestly So
licited, and your vote, if given me,
will be highly appreciated. 1 rec
oguize the claims of my opponent,
our present Assessor, and shall
cherish nothing against those who
support him. Personally, we are
good friends and, fraternally, work
side by side. The race will be a
clean one-open and above board
in all things.
7 In conclusion, will state that, as
l have sold my farm, I am after
this Office solely as means of
support for myself and family. AS
I was born in Bossier Parish and
have lived here all OF my life, with
the exception OF six years of my
boyhood spent in California, I am
known to many of you. I have
not always farmed, but my time
has been about equally divided
between that and clerical work.
T If favored at your hands and
the Office is intrusted to me shall
at all times conscienciously strive
to discharge its every duty i'm
partially and in a business-like
manner. Faithfully yours,
F. B. OGDEN.
