observer and Voter" Urges the
Reelection of Mr.. p. j. Lacroix.

Covington, La, May 20, 1915.
! Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
In view Of the approaching munich
pal election, and knowing your evel
ready disposition in allowing space
for the discussion of public Ques
tons, l beg to thank you in advance
for your consideration.
When q people is confronted and
asked through the medium of the
polls and ballot box, to express .
choice and elect mayor, the ques.
ton naturally arises who is the best
fitted, the most worthy, and the bet.
ter qualified to stand at the head Of
a government, and people, for the
people.
There are two candidates announc.
ed for mayor of Covington at the
coming election in June. In view o.
the work that has been accomplished
| under the separate administrations
of the two candidates without hest
fancy l say reflect p. J. Lacroix may
or of Covington.
Without going into itemized de-
tails, it is only necessary to remem-
Der, that both aspirants for the of
flee of mayor, DR.. Marrero and z. J.
Lacroix, have been tried, and have
given the people ample opportunity
to Judge for themselves, who is who
and which one Of the two has repre-
sented the interest of Covington to
better advantage, and more satisfac-
torily; the question is almost too re
mote to deserve comparison, the
facts are clear and remain indelibly
imprinted in the memory Of every
right thinking fair minded man and
woman in Covington. During the
four years of DR.. Marrero's civic ad-
ministration there has been done
practically nothing in the way OF
public improvements and public good
which would tend to warrant replac-
ing him at the head Of now pro-
gressive government. DR.. Marrero
as public official has been tried
good and plenty, and has been found
wanting, and on account OF these
facts l as a layman cannot see how,
or why, re should expect to be re-
elected mayor of this municipality;
eleven months ago the people ex-
pressed conclusively their dissatis-
faction Of the Marrero administra-
ton, and elected p. ]. Lacroix. Has
DIR. Marrero better claims now? ]
think not.
P. ]. Lacroix, as the present mayor
of Covington, has in his short eleven
months of executive administration,
accomplished more for the good of
Covington, yes, ten times more. than
was accomplished by DR.. Marrero
during his entire four years in Office.
Just to site a few examples of the
activities of the Lacroix administra-
ton, we refer, for years and years
back, to the old wooden bridge over
the creek going to Claiborne that
(aside from the big expense Of main
tenance) sto d as danger to public
life and limb, and a reproachful eye

less amount of work that has been
accomplished, reconstructed and
maintained on the most economical
schedules.
Through the efforts Of the Lacroi1
administration a municipal Board oil
Health has been organized, and in
spite of a little personal dissension on
the part of some members on the
original board, this health board has
accomplished and made wonderful
strides and progress in bettering san
itary conditions, and it is still active
and hopes to bring Covington, with
the assistance and influence of its
good people, to such standard as to
make it one of the most sanitary in
the State.
There exist numerous other acts
wherein Covingten has been benefit
ted, but space does not allow to go
into further details, except to men
ton that the Lacroix administration
did, after repeated appeals to prior
administrat ions, that met with no
response, amend the charter of the
town of Covington SO that an election
of officers be every two years instead
of every year. This enactment is now
a law, and is the means of saving
for Covington the usually large ex
penditures connected with municipal
elections; if for no other reason La
croix should be reelected and tender
ed the mayoraty as a compliment
due him in compensation for his eff
forts and follow the precedent estab-
lished of honoring the father of q
new undertaking by rendering him
the position that will allow him an
opportunity of putting into effect the
opportunities offered by the new or
der of things.
In conclusion II IS reasonably GER
tain that the fair minded, those peo-
pie who are not prejudced, and those
people who live and think for the
peoples good, will assert their choice
at the polls on Tuesday, June ed,
and tender Lacroix such a majority
as he is entitled to receive at the
hands of the people he is trying to
serve.
The time has come when friend
ship and personal interests of few
must not stand in the way Of munich
pal advancement, and believe fair
consideration of this question by the
people Of Covington will make them
strong supporters of Mr.. Lacroix FOL
mayor.

OFFICERS TAKE UP
BOMB PLOT INQUIRY

under the American flag where the
ship and it's cargo of cotton were con-
fiscated by the French government.
Under Grave Charge.
Max Breitung is charged with con-
spiracy and he is believed to know
something about a 100000 fund which
was raised by German Americans to be
uesd in preventing the shipment Of
war supplies to the allies.
The federal investigators are said
to be assisted by woman who has
damaging Information relative to the
activities of Lieutenant Robert Fay
and Walter Scholz.
This woman, whose name is being
shielded, was on the inside of the
plot. For some reason, however, she
determined to betray Fay and Scholz
and delivered into the hands of an
agent of the department of justice on
discriminating letter. This Letter re-
lated to the purchase of explosives by
the two Germans.
The willingness of Fay and Scholz
to confess everything started the au-
thorities on a vigorous hunt for the
men higher up. The search is not
confined to New York, but extends to
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chi
cago, Pittsburg and other large cities
Fay denies his bombs were intend
ed to destroy ships carrying ammuni-
ton to the allies, but to cripple them
so they would be helpless at sea.

PALACE.

PALACE.
When the Equitable Motion Pictures
corporation present their second Of
fering, 'The Master of the House" at
the Palace theatre on Wednesday, pa
irons of that house will have an op-
portunity of seeing that famous dram
attic actor. julius Steger, in his first
screen effort, which is a perturbation
OF his former great stage success, and
in which he appeared successfully. for
long season in New York and several
seasons on the road.
"The Master of the House" is the
story of husband, who, firing of his
faithful and old-fashioned wife, seeks
to Craze In pastures new, but who, af-
ter trying experiences, sad adventures
and costly blunders, returns to his fam
lily fold sadder and wiser man.
The husband, who has wandered off
with the beautiful governess who came
into his house a siren, is welcomed
back by his faithful wife and loving
children, broken, dispirited man.
A special cast of Broadway players
was assembled by the Equitable Mo-
ton Pictures Corporation in support
of Mr.. Steger, and the scenic investi-
lures were elaborate to the extreme.
