WELSH JEFFERSON DAVIS FRIDAY AUGUST 1916
ALEXANDER NAMED,
BOWLING NEXT?

Forecast for many weeks, Governor
Pleasant's reappointment of M, L,
Alexander as head of the Conserya.
tlon commission nevertheless was a
rellet to many who know Alexander
and the worth Of his work in the con-
servation exploitation of the neutral
resources of louisiana. Alexander
has powerful friends in both political
camps, but his big strength is with the
land men and the big owners of Lou
lslana, who have experienced the ben
e1lt OF progressive methods as applied
to the job. This, probably, is the
most generally popular appointment
the Governor has yet made.
The most conspicuoua and out
standing appointment yet to follow
IS That of the Presidency of the State
Board of Health. The State is di-
ylded into two camps-those for
lowing and those for anybody to beat
Bowling. The suggestion that Mer.
rick Swords be made first assistant
ant House Surgeon at the Charity
hospital at salary of $4,000. would
seem to clear the atmosphere a bit
should it be ths intention of lhe
Governor to reappoint DR.. Bowling
swords has been a most grimly deter
mined candidate and his friends are
loyal and energetic. The candidacy
however, did not seem to make the
headway expected against Bowling
sentiment, and by some it is predicted
that the governor will lend q kindly
ear to those who assure him that the
disappointment of Bowling, while dis
tasteful to a distinct number of low
al organization men, is, nevertheless,
the thing to do as a matter of public
policy combined with political expe-
dclency' In other words, while hold
ing to a good executive, the regular
organization at the same time would
gam great deal of strength from
the other Democratic faction.

NEW YORK NEWSPAPERS
TO HAVE FEWER PAGES

Publishers of newspapers in the
city of New York have taken con-
certed action to cut down their losses
caused by the extremely big increase
in the cost of white paper. The prin-
cipal step to be taken is an agree
ment to cut down the number of pag-
es in both the daily and Sunday issues.
The combined cut will amount to 121
pages, which it is estimated will
amount to 204 tons of white paper a
week.
Most of the newspapers have also
planned a reduction in the amount of
returned papers allowed, which, it is
estimated will cause reduction in the
use of white paper of at least eighty
tons, thus cutting down the supply of
paper used each week by nearly 300
tons.
The increased cost Of white paper,
which, in some instances, has increas-
ed more than 81 a ton over what was
regarded as an unusual high price
few months ago, furnishes a vital
question for newspaper publishers.
The American Newspaper Publishers
Association is urging newspaper pub
fishers to reduce their consumption of
white paper, and the action of New
York newspapers has been followed
by others throughout the United
States.

ton to the Journal.
Any friend whom you nominate
will be credited with 5000 votes to
start with, and your little boost in

ly date may be the means of securing
for them TIE free automobile, gift of
which any young lady or gentleman
would justly feel proud.
The promoters of the campaign
guarantee that it will be absolutely
fair and square in every particular and
that no advantage will be given to any
candidate at any time, and that the
voting strength of a dollar will re-
main the same throughout the entire
campaign. The necessity for fairness
IN this respect can be readily under
stood when you consider that these
firms are spending large sum of
money to broaden their patronage per-
manently, and their only hope of sue
cess, and the ultimate return of the in
vestment, lies in their ability to keep
in the good graces of the entire COM
munity while reaching out for more
business.
The campaign is not limited to res
idents of Welsh, but is in fact Just as
appealing to candidates anywhere in
the parish. A young lady from Ro-
anoke, Jennings, Elton, Lake Arthur
or any district in the parish would
have just as good an opportunity as
one living in Welsh.
Miss Collins, an experienced contest
manager from Memphis, Tenn, has
been engaged for the opening of the
campaign, and she will be pleased to
call on you and explain the workings
OF this campaign which is open to all.
