ant Governor Barrett on strict.
ly Prohibition platform and John
Nj. Parker as a Bull Moose as
pirant. Mr.. Parker comes out
squarely opposed to Prohibition,
evidently thinking it will enable
him to get the support of the
whiskey dealers of New Orle ana
but substitutes the Woman s Suf-
fraEe cause to the tail Of his kite
to get the influence of the women
OF Louisiana who are clammorinp
for the rights Of franchise. While
we have no objection to the women
being accorded the same privilege
OF citizenship that the men. enjoy.
knowing that they are entitled to
recognition, it is a forgone conclu-
sion that the great Bull Moose
leader knows very well that when
the women vote, Prohibition ia
hound to follow and it would have
been far better for him to have
come out in the open for q dry
state. MIR. Pleasant on the other
hand says that he would veto. any
prohibition bill, even if. it. was
passed by the Legislature al he
stands for local option when the
people desire it. DIR. Pierson Is
also local opion candidate and
says that he will sign the bill If it
Is passed by a legislature fresh
from the people. The contest
promises to be hard fought one
and already Mr.. Parker has
opened up his headquarters in the
city of New Orleans and will make
an aggressive campaign. There
is no gainsaying the fact that this
District will give Mr.. Parker not
less than five thousand majority

THE FAIR AN UNQUALIFIED
SUCCESSES,

The manager and promoters OF
the big industrial and live stock
Fair held in this City last Friday
Saturday and Sunday deserve the
unstinted praise of the entire pop
ulation. From every standpoint
it was one of the best exhibitions
of public thrift ever exhibited in
Louisiana. outside possibly Of the
Shreveport and even in this, our
poultry department is said to
have made a better showing. On
Saturday and Sunday the visi-
tors who witnessed the Fair num-
bered between twenty and Thirty
thousand and every one left New
iberia with nothing but praise for
the management and the way the
crowds were handled. One gen.
tseman stated to us that he Lad
visited the Fair at Shreveport
last year and some five years ago
took in the Missouri State Fair at
Saint Louis and while they both
had more live stock on exhibition
there was none exhibited that
showed up any better than the
stock Of iberia Parish. Another
commendable feature about the
attraction here which was notice
able to the visitors was that there
was no gambling features or any,
thing in connection with the show
which was Objectionable to any
one. Excursions were run in from
as far as Beaumont, Texas and
hundreds of citizens of that city
and Orange made their first visit
here on that occasion. Not one
single individual showed any SIGN
OF intoxication on that day, which |
also bespeaks much for our COM |

other District. All of the people
of Louisiana had the promises at
the last State election from the
mouth of this same Mr.. Parker
that Gov. Hall was the logical man
for the place and that no mistake
would be made were he honored
with the position. Instead Of
helping the Governor to make
good all of the promises made to-
wards lowering the taxes and
naying off the State debt. we find
him now, despite his pleadings
that he would never become can

SEWERAGE BOARD ELECTION

It will be noted by peruslng
another column of The Enterprise
that the City Commissioners were
compelled to create another Sew
erage District of the City of New
Iberia in order to have the Board
Of Commissioners reelected in ac-
cordance with law. 1t was only
within the last three weeks that
it was discovered that the present
Board, as it was constituted under
the law was null and void. in so
far as their offices were concerned.
This makes it imperative on the
part of the Board of Trustees to
call another election as soon as
all fOrmalities are complied with.
II is unfortunate that the Sew
erage elec ton has to be DELAYED
for upwards of ninety days more.
The sentiment of the people of |
New Iberia is for a small annual |
tax. providing it cover long
period of years. which would en-
able them to meet the payments
without any hardships. Were it
not for the fact that the Water
Works and Electric Light tax of
three mills will expire in 1917
there is no doubt any Of the ad-
vocates of the Sewerage tax would
hesitate before burdening them
selves further. They all realize
however that sewerage is abso-
lutely necessary and are perfectly
to carry out the wishes of
the State Board Of Health. The .
Board as now constituted is as fol- =
ows: Edward Estorge. Fritz

'bange in the personel of the a
Board as the entire community are c
