PucH AND PICARD ELECTED.
G.. C. Weber Loses Out in Race tor
Convention Delegate.

Hon. Edward N. Pugh, of Donald
sonyille, and Representative Acnllie
I. Picard, of Gonzales, will represent
Ascension in the state constitutional
convention it is proposed TO hold n
New Orleans, having been nominated
at the Democratic primary election
held throughout the parish last Tues
day. Mr.. Pugh polled total Of 800
votes and Mr.. Picard SAL, while Caleb
C.. Weber, Of Donaldsonville, who was
also an aspirant for the nomination,
received 367 votes. Considerable IN
terest was manifested in the election
and a heavy vote was polled IN some
of the precincts, this being the case
particularly at Prairieville, where out
Of 100 voters qualified to participate
in the election 116 went to the poll
and cast their ballots. The Donald
sd willie vote was 80 in the first pre-
cinct and III in the second.
The official returns show that the
total number OF -otes cast was 844.
There was great deal of single
shotting," Mr.. Weber especially being
the beneficiary of a large number Of
votes Of this character. Of the 367
ballots cast for him, it is probable that
100 or more were single shots.

the returns and make proclamation
of the result.

After His BOSS Job.

Hon. Harry d. Wilson Of Tangipa-
hoa, assistant state commissioner of
agriculture and immigration, gave no.
tice to Commissioner e. O. Bruner at
Baton Rouge the other day Of his in
tention to "run for his boss's Job
other words to become a candidate for
commissioner at the next primary
election. Boss Bruner expostulated
vigorously, but Harry held his ground,
declaring that he would rather be
Louisiana's commissioner Of agricul-
ture and immigration than president
of the United States, which may not
be such q strange preference after
all, considering that one member of
the Wilson family already holds the
bigger job and it isn't likely Louisi-
ana Wilson or Louisiana anybody
else is going to succeed him.
Without regard to the merits
or dement's of other aspirants,
The Chief is free to express
the belief that Harry ID. Wilson, the
hcrny-handed, quick-witted and sill.
ver-tongued Tangipahoa farmer,
would make frst-class commissioner
eft agriculture and immigration.

Candidate BoneY Here.

r. X. Boney, of Duckport, Madi-
son parish, one of the FIVE aspirants
for state commissioner of agriculture
and immigration, was visitor to Dom
aldsonyille Monday and called on
many of our citizens to solicit their
support in the coming primary. He
outlined his qualifications for the Of
flee and presented his claims for the
consideration Of t. voters in an in
teresting and convincing manner, and
made a most favorable impression
upo~l all with whom he talked in the
course of his canvass. Mr.. Boney
was born in Madison parish in 1858
and has been an active farmer the
greater part Of his life. He is presi-
dent of the Louisiana Lespedeza
Growers Association, director of the
Swine Breeders and Corn Growers,
associations, member of the State
Board of Education, and vice presi-
dent of the Southern Cattiemen's AS
sociation. He finds the outlook from
his point of view altogether encour-
aging.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

81 5
| Democratic primary elections were
held in nine wards Of Orleans and
/ thirty-four Of the other parishes OF
Louisiana last Tuesday for the noni-
nation Of party candidates for dele
gates to the constitutional convention
proposed to be convened IN New Or
leans next September. The contests
were conducted without unusual ex-
element or breaches OF the peace,
and in most instances a light vote
was polled.
The results in Orleans, East Baton
Rouge, Ouaclaita and Caddo were
awaited with more general pubic IN
terest than any OF the others because
of the warm campaigns conducted
there, the prominence OF a majority
Of the men concerned and the fact
that these are among the largest par
ishes of the state. !.
The New Orleans Organization, :
more commonly called the city ring
made a systematic fight not only 20
control but to monopolize the clty,s
convention delegation and the effort
was entirely successful, as every nom
inee iii all the seventeen wards IS a
friend and supporter Of the "organl-
zation.e Mayor Martin Behrman,
National Committeeman Robert Ewing,
Railroad Commissioner John {. Michel
and City Attorney /. .. Moore he
among the leading members OF the
delegation. In eight wards there was
no opposition to the organizations
candidates, and none OF the contests
III the other nine wards was close.
IN short, the ring" had q WaIk-over.
In East Baton Rouge Geo. Is. FAY
rot and w. H. Bynum, classed as an
ti-convention candidates, were noml-
mated, defeating John Fred. Odom.
In Ouachita Allan Sholars and Col.
Frank p. Stubs beat G. Il. McHenry
and q. C. DaWkins, while in Caddo
the four nominees are James NJ. Eos
Ter. Perry r. Keith, Henry Hunsicker
and Thos. C. Barrett. There was said
TO have been a combination between
the anti-prohibitionists and the
friends of Attorney General Pleasant
to defeat Lieut.. Gov Barrett, but the
latter won out, defeating 5. Z. Herold,
the candidate Of the continuation
The aninus of the opposition to the
lieutenant governor was doubtless q
desire to give his gubernatorial
chances a black eye by beating. him
in his own parish, and to contribute
a corresponding boost to the attorney
generals gubernatorial aspirations.
As the matter stands the lieutenant
governor has decidedly the better OF
the scrap.
Second primaries will be necessary
in only five parishes.
Judging from the expressions OF the
state press there appears to be
sentiment in many OF the
country parishes against ratifying the
call for the convention, and unless
this tide can be checked and its cur
rent changed the defeat Of the whole
project is by no means unlikely. The
present outlook, however, is. favor
able to ratification Of the convention
call, as it is presumable the New Or
leans politicians will endeavor to line
up their followers as solidly for the
convention as they did for the can
didates for delegates. In this case
Orleans should BE counted on for a |
heavy maj IN favon-of the con-
vention-heavier, no DOUBT, than the
smaller and comparatively morgan
lied country parishes can hope to
overcome.

Accident to Steamer Terrebonne.

The floating dry dock Of the Pitts
burg Coal Company at Algiers, cons
tanning the Bradford Transpo rtation
Company's steamboat Terrebonne,
sprung i leak early Isssstt Sunday morn
ing and both dock and steamer sank
in about twenty feet of water. As the
dock settled the Terrebonne listed
and finally rolled over on her side.
She was foated Wednesday after
noon, and the following morning was
placed in. one Of the docks Of the New
Orleans Dry Dock and Shipbuilding
Company. Although the steamer was
badly strained during the process Of
lifting her oa@epf the e~sa, and por-
tons of her cabin were considerably
wrecked, it is thought the damage can
be repaired without much difficulty
and the work will be pushed as rapid
~ as possible, SO as to have the yes
sci ready for the rice trade before
the rush of shipments begins.
