Barrets Tour Of NatchitOches
Parish.

Lieutenant Governor Barrett and
Mr.. L. Austin Fontenot, spent the
last three days of last week in this
parish, and were accompanied by
Judge Charles V. Porter anC
Judge w. 7. Cunningham.
Meetings were held at Chestnut
in ward two, at Campti, Natchito'
ches, CIoutierville, Provencal, Ro'
beline and Marthaville.
The Enterprise regrets that or
account of rush of advertising
matter and police jury proceedings
it is not possible to discuss their
meetings in detail.
1t is sufficient to say that they
were all enthusiastic gatherings
of earnest and patriotic Democrats
and some of them, particularly
the Campti meeting, we're unusu,
ally large.
Governor Barrett sustained his
reputation as a polished orator
and a most effective DICTATOR. He
completely refuted the charges
which are dictated by the liquor
trust that he is insincere in his
advocacy of prohibition and the
cause of morality.
He repeatedly stated that if his
opponents would point out q single
vote which he had cast since he
had been in the Senate against a
moral or temperance measure, be
