PRACTICE GAME SUNDAY

The baseball practice game last Sunday was most satisfactory to all concerned, IS aspirants for team hon. ors reporting for practice. The old timers to report for duty were Ben nie, Azarte, Grimes, Riley and Gull yer, who all played up to their old standard form and with practice will be better than ever. Among the new men who were tried out were Wald- ron, Foster, Wye, Hunter, Baron, Me Kenzie, Horne and Payne. These men showed up to good advantage but it will be a hard matter to get line on the ability of the men until further practice is held.
 Mckenzie, who comes from Santa Monica, looked good on the slab and has the appearance of a good pitcher and will undoubtedly make good with the future team.
 Further practice will be held next Sunday and an effort will be made to have locker rooms and shower bath installed in the rear of the new store. The A. c. company have signified their willingness to assist the boys in every way possible. Mes sers. Bradfield and Elkins are handling the business end of the game, while P Riley will manage the team for the present.
 At the practice game Sunday all aspirants who are desirouS of making the team are requested to be present at the ball ground in uniform. It in the present intention of the manage ment to play a team from Morenci week from Sunday, at which time a swift game is anticipated as Morenci will come down with several of her old veterans with the intention of teaching the home team a few things about the national game. It is hoped that the local fans will turn out in good numbers and give the boys en- couragem

NEW ORGANIZATION LAUNCHED BY
 GENTLEMEN
Pima and Santa Cruz Counties Join
 in Forming Growers Association

i Permanent organization of the Pima & Santa Cruz Counties Cattle Grow CTS association was effected yester- day morning at the Santa Rita hotel, when forty-five cattlemen oftthe two counties gathered in answer to the call of R. G. Brady. The organiza- tion dates back one year when it was decided to form the association and Mr. Brady was instructed to issue his call. fe-
 J. c. Kiney, of the La Osa Cattle company, of Tucson, was elected pres ident; J. M. Ronstadt, of Tucson, was named vice president and J. H. Mo Vey, of Arivaca, will act as secretary treasurer of the permanent organiza- tion. Seventeen new members were enrolled and each member was appoint ed committee of one to secure ad- ditional members.
 Pending the second meeting and final organization of the associations a con- mittee, consisting of J. M. Ronstadt, Billy Martin, of Arivaca, and Tom Cummings, of Nogales, was named to draw up bylaws and prepare member ship certificates and requirements. They will report at Nogales April 15, when it is hoped most of the cattle men of the two counties will join the association.
 The plans of formation originally called for only those cattlemen graz ing herds on / the national forest re- serve, and the call issued one year ago by R. J. Selkirk, of the forest service, had this in mind. However, these plans were broadened, and all raisers and-grazers were included. MT. Sel- kirk was named an honorary member of the association.
 Grazing on national forests, the Papago reservation and it's effect on the cattle industry and other material interests to the cattlemen, will be taken up at the Nogales meeting, Ap- Til 15.

VANDE:RCOOK WINS NOMINATION IN
 PRIMARY '
Will Appear on Democratic Ticket For Street Supervisor Winning Nomination Over Five Other Candi- dates

If the primary election held today is a fair sample of the interest and enthusiasm that is to be manifested in the state and county campaigns to follow, the year 1916, from a political standpoint, should be all that the aver age voter could desire.
 From the early morning until the polls were closed an eager crowd of candidates and workers surrounded the polling place on the East Side. Automobiles with banners streaming, darted here and there, and the gentler sex were out in full force.
 The primary election for the nomina- tion of candidates for Town officers was confined to the Republican and Democratic parties. In the absence of a contest in the Republican ranks only a small vote was cast, twenty four republicans turning out to help nominate their ticket although ap- proximately one hundred and fifteen had been registered.
 The Republican ticket nominated yesterday by the following vote, was as follows:

TO HOLD MEET UNDER
FAVORABLE AUSPICES
Police Jury Appropriates SIS for
The Parish School Rally
CITY COUNCIL GIVES
LENDING HAND ALSO
Interesting Meeting Is Held at the
Courthouse on Monday Night to
Discuss Parish School Rally

a we'll attended meeting was held
at the courthouse on Monday night
for the purpose of discussing waJs
and means by which the Seventh
st. Landry Parish School Rally
could be held in this city next
month.
DR.. r. M. Littell called the meet
ng to order, and after making a
short address in behalf of the rally
HftTUuced the speakers.
Mayor Loeb, L. K. Easthars, +. L.
pefrault, w. F. Brown and Others
made appropriate talks and rouse,i
those present to immediate action.
Mr.. Brown was complimented FOR
having secured an appropriation Of
seventy-five dollars from the par
lsh police jury; this is the first
time in the history of st. Landry
that the police jury has voted an
appropriation for the benefit Gs the
school rally. The city council made
an appropriation for the same cause
on Tuesday night Of twenty-five
dollars.
For the past six years Prof. Pros
colt and Prof. Griffith have been
keeping up the athletic spirit
among the students of st. Landry
but the rallies held annually became
a strenuous affair TO be pulled Oh,
as financial conditions could not
permit continuance Of this splen--
did feature Of ehe schools of this
parish.
Now, however, with the city and
parish cooperating with the school
officials it is expected that the par
ish rallies will prove popular from
henceforth.
Professors Perrault and Scott Of
the local school have been having
their boys training for the past
month and they expect to akop the
kupn at the rally next month.
Opelousas has always sent forth
upon the cinder path a strong
team, but Euniee has been fortunate
enough to defeat the local boys
each year. upon the track. Danna
jenkins is no longer with Eunice,
so it is reasonably expected that
Opelcusas will be the winner at
the approaching field meet.
It is the hope OF Superintendent
Prescott that the people Of Opelou-
sas and the SURROUNDING country
will literally patronize the parish
school rallies from now on. A
large crowd should witness the
meet which will be held at Wal
lior's park next month.

PARKER TO ADDRESS
MORNING Meeting
Progressive Candidate for Governor
to Be Main Attraction Here
pARKERITES EXPECT TO HAVE
LARGE CROWD PRESENT
Bull Moose Chief Will Make His
First Political Speech of Cam
paign in This City Saturday

John Ne. Parker the Progressive
candidate for governor of Louis.
lana will hold his first political
meeting in this city on Saturday
A. NJ. at II O'clock. His support
throughout the parish are expected
to attend the rally in large body
and it is the intention of local Par
kerites to make this one of the
greatest political gatherings Of the
present campaign.
Mr.. Parker has spoken to Opelou-
sas audiences on several occasions
and has always made a favorable
impression; his speech here two
years ago before the state conyen-
ton of the Louisiana Farmers
Union was considered splendid
one; he was complimented for his
intelligent discourse OF the various
needs of the Louisiana farmers.
That a large number Of Pleasant
people will attend this meeting is
certainty, as those who are op-
posed to Mr.. Parker's political
views are anxious to hear the Bull
Mooser discuss his platform.
Parker enthusiasts are claiming
this parish by a handsome majority;
they are claiming the first ward by
safe margin, while the Pleasant
forces feel confident that the Demo-
cratic nominees will carry this
ward by at least one hundred and
fifty votes. The Pleasant support
ers claim the fourth by good
majority, while the Parker people
think that they have a splendid
chance of carrying this ward; the
second and third wards, claimed by
large majorities by the Parkerites,
are conceded for the Moosers by
a small margin; the fifth ward is
considered as disputable, both sides
claiming, while the sixth ward is
likely to go one way or the other.
Mr.. Parker's tour of st. Landry
is expected by his supporters to aid
his cause materially, while the
PIeasantites feel confident that no
more votes can be taken away from
them.
Mr.. Parker was billed to address
the voters of various sections of
Evangeline and ST. Landry parishes
on Friday and Saturday, but his
principal meeting will be held in
! this city this morning, when it is
expected that the Bull Moosers will
rally to their cause every possible
man.

ing fled on Monday night provided
with two rifles and one pistol and
three boxes of cartridges. He is
thought to be in the woods near the
Jack Thompson place, a short dis
tance from Opelousas, where the
sheriff is supposed to have located
him on Tuesday morning. The
woods are so thick, however, that it
will require some time to capture
the black; many fear that he will
effect his escape.
Should the negro be captured it
is understood That he will be taken
to Jail at Lafayette, SO as to pre-
vent any disturbance, although it
is not likely that he would be harm
ed, as the relatives and friends of
the deceased are perfectly willing
to allow the law to take its course.
Young Vidrine was the eldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ambrose Vidrine
of the Plaisance section Of this par
ish; his family is prominently con-
nected in this and Evangeline par
ishes. The deceased had been en-
gagged in the butcher business for
the past several months and was
looked upon as a well behaved

ences at all times. His speeches in
st. Landry are awaited with anx-
iety by the Pleasant forces, as it IS
pointed out that Mr.. Sanders will
bring over to the Democrats several
hundred voters.
Mr.. Sanders will draw a crowd as
large, if not larger than the crowd
expected at the Parker meeting
Saturday. That he will do
some good for the Pleasant cause
is foregone conclusion, according
to local Democrats.
The local Democratic club urged
the secretary of the state Demo-
cratic executive committee to send
Sanders to this parish, because it
realized that this eloquent
political orator, wao has always
drawn large audiences in st. Lam
dry, would bring votes to the
cause; his meeting here Monday
night is expected to be so largely
attended that it is. hardly probable
that he will be able to speak in the
