The circular, which | en-

7 ,,blish, while addressed prlmari-
" to the citizens Of st. Tammaly |
Parish, has been mailed broad
cast to the citizens and voters of
Washington Parish, with the evil
dent intention Of destroying pub
lie confidence in my efficiency
and attention to the duties of the
office which | hold as public
prosecutor Of the 26th Judicial
District Of Louisiana.
Whether this circular was actu-
ated by motives of patriotism and
sincere desire to see, tie laws of
the state upheld, Or whether it
was actuated by personal malice
or for political reasons, | leave
the public to judge from the fol-
lowing statement of facts.
The gentleman whose name ap-
pears at the bottom of the circu-
lar, Mr.. ". B. Lancaster, is a
resident Of the city Of New Or
leans, the circulars were printed
in New Orleans, they were mailed
from New Orleans, they were
mailed to the citizens of Wash.

possible interest in thu admins

town Of Vaudeville, which is in
St. Tammany Parish, Washing.
ton being a prohibition Parish
and a large portion Of st. Tam
many being wet, including the
town Of Vaudeville, where the
complaint is laid.
If thesagentleman would imply
by mailing the circulars to the
citizens of Washington Parish,
that the citizens of St. Tammany
Parish are incapable of manage
ing their own internal affairs,
then | think that he should have
made his appeal for assistance,
if such it is, in a diffe ent way,
and the people of St. Tammany
Parish would doubtless have ap.
preciated Mr.. Lancaster's solicit
tude for their welfare great deal
more if he had confined his circu.
lars to the radius of the Parish
affected, which, to say the least,
would have come nearer proving
his sincerity.

ceived by me in due course Of
