State, district, parish and ward officers,
and, according to what John NJ. Parker
told them, that not to support the nomi-
nees in the general election would be do
ing DISHONORABLE ACT. He said
then that he did not want the vote OF
any man who voted in the Democratic
primary for State officers THAT 1T
WOULD BE AN UNCLEAN, DISHON-
ORABLE VOTE.
Why then will he come back to Lincoln
parish, knowing full well that the voters
of this parish did vote in the primary
election of January 25th, 1916, and did
vote for Col. Pleasant or for Gov. Barrel
for governor? Does he now want them
to vote for him for governor, after telling
them, face to face, last October, that to
do so would be DOING A DISHONOR-
ABLE THING?
If John Nj. Parker believes that he can
come back to this parish and persuade
the voters to vote for him, after telling
them his views on the question of voting
in the primary of one party and then
voting for the candidate of another party
/ in the general election, it will only show
his ignorance of the kind of people We
have here. The voters of this parish are
honorable men, Mr.. Parker, and believe
what you told them last October.
If Mr.. John NJ Parker thought on the
Ord day of last October, before the peo-
pie of this parish voted in the Democratic
primary, that it would be dishonorable
for them to vote for him, if they did vote
in said primary, he must be of the same
opinion ROWLAND so ARE THEY.
They Will not burden Mr.. Parker, the
Progressive-R Republican candidate, with
votes he has declared to them are unclean,
dishonorable votes. He may come here
and stay so long that his CAMPAIGN man.
ager, the big sheriff of st. Mary parish,
will get uneasy about him, and talk until
doomsday, but he cannot persuade the
voters of Lincoln parish to violate their
primary pledges and vote for him. They
are not ANXIOUS TO VOTE FOR A
PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN FOR
GOVERNOR, ANYWAY.
We cannot understand how Mr.. Parker
can have the effrontery to come to Lin
coin parish and ask these people to vote
for him for governor, after they have
participated in the Democratic primary
and after. what he said to them on the
23rd day of last October in his speech ir
the ellis opera house in Ruston.

In the list of pupils Of the st. Joseph
High School, published last week, who
spelled five hundred words correctly in
the recent spelling contest, the name OF
Miss Alice Bondurant, in Group iii, was
inadvertently omitted by the printer,
which we regret, and make this announce
ment in justice to her. The task of SPELL
ing five hundred words is too stupendous
to be robbed of the glory of its accom-
plishment by mean printers careless
ness. Hence this correction.

Official Vote In Primary.
Mr.. Voter, Stick q Pin In Thisi
(From ime-Picayme Editorial
Jan. 18th, 1861

eve do not believe it fair or honest to
enter the primary and vote for one of the
NO candidates for the gubernatorial
nomination with the intention of voting
in the general election against the nomi-
nee. There will be some who do so, but
WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY
WORTHY CITIZEN WILL BE GULL
TY OF THE DOUBLE-DEALING OF
VOTING FOR A MAN THEY DO NOT
MEAN TO SUPPORT. This cannot fail
to degrade politics, whereas what We need
most IN Louisiana is to elevate and purify
them. Honesty is the best policy in poll
tics and business; and not only the best
but the only honorable course"

 John l.. Gust spoke on the duties of attorney general of the state. In a clear and able manner he convinced all trat he was thoroughly competent to hold the responsible position to which he aspires and said that the state would not be put tO extra expense of hiring assistants as it now is.
 As each of these three speakers closed their speeches they were greet cd by healthy rounds of applause. When Judge Jayne introduced the last speaher, I on Campbell, a roar went up " nicn shook the building. The ap- plause continued for some minutes 1om made q grand speech one that

Tom did rot attack the present administra- tion. He did not have to tell the peo- pie who have been pioneering in this valley that they have been neglected They know that and they are going to vote for a change. a change that will put a man at the head who will be humane to the prisoners in the peni- tentiary and also humane to the tar greater percentage of folks outside the penitentiary, who are turning the des- ert into garden spots and paying taxes When Tom had concluded his speech he was again made the subject of grand ovation
 His remark that he had written the plonlDIuon plank iH the republican state platform settled any chance of the fake bartendors' letters being talk cn seriously in this locality.
