OUR PRESENT SHERIFF

sE N#@lY4
Iii a letter to the voters Of st.
Landry, elsewhere in this paper,
District Attorney r. Lee Garland
and District Judge b. H. pavy de-
nounce Sheriff Swords for his I'M
warranted and despicable manner
be attacking them in the present
campaign.
Both these officials set forth their
reasons for opposing the candidacy
of Swords, these reasons are SO
clear and so logical that no think
ing man can criticise either Judge
Payy or District Attorney Garland
for the stand they have taken in
this memorable campaign, which is
fast drawing TO a close.
It is recalled that Sheriff Swords
was so drunk during the famous
Walters trial, the most sensational
and spectacular eve staged in the
Opelousas courts, that he was
stumbling over the benches in the
courtroom, falling over the laps of
visitors from every section of the
state and from Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi. So distasteful was
the sheriff's conduct during that
famous trial that Hon. G.. H. Cretin,
proprietor of the Lacombe Hotel,
had To request that the sheriff va
cate the place, because his conduct,
on account of his drunken condi-
ton, could no longer be tolerated.
Swords, who is the custodian Of
peace and order in this parish, in
defiance of all moral laws, has been
repeatedly put out of the leading
hotels and restaurants in OpelolI-
sas, because of his abusive and dis
gushing language, which ne per-
sists in using in an attempt to de-
fame the character Of some Of the
best people in this parish.
That Judge Pavy and District At
torney Garland have a legal, as
well as moral right to support the
candidacy Of the man, who will
hest serve the interest of the peo-
pie of This parish, cannot be doubt
ed. In fact they are bound by
duty to aid the voters of st. Lam
dry Id their endeayor to place
faithful, honest, sober and energetic
men in public Office.
Darius Fontenot is unquestiona-
bly, far superior to Mr.. Swords, in
morals, In official capacity and in
tellect. That he will make a
more efficient officer than Mr..
Swords there is absolutely no doubt
in the minds Of the majority of the
voters OF st. Landry, as will be
seen by the returns of the cleo
ton, next Tuesday.

E. o. BRUNER SHOULD CARRY
THE PARISH OF ST. LANDRY
Acadia Candidate for Commissioner
of Agriculture Has Hosts of
Friends Here

Hon. Z. O. Bruner, of Acadia par
ish, is unquestionably the best man
running for the office of Commits
sioner Of Agriculture and Immigra-
ton.
In the face of all political perse-
cution which could be carried
against him Mr.. Bruner has made
a winning campaign, and it would
therefore not be surprising to see
him secure a larger majority than
ever in old st. Landry parish, which
has ever been true to the favored
son of Acadia parish.
Mr.. Bruner is the right man in
the right place, as his cards say.
At the head of the Agricultural and
immigration only one term, he has
made it the Invest branch of our
state government, has made it a
powerful factor in the up-building
of Louisiana in agriculture and
stock raising, has cut out many ex-
penses and placed the whole de-
partment on a business basis.
After paying salaries and travel
ing expenses of the inspectors and
the salaries of the stenographers,
stationery, ETC., ut of the tag
sales, he has returned to the Diree-
tor of the Experiment stations over
s80,0o0.00; he has brought the farm
er, city and town people closer to-
gether, and through his constant
boosting and extensive advertising
has brought thousands of home
seekers to Louisiana.
Vote for him and you will make
no mistake.

SUPPORTERS
CONFIDENT OF RACE
Friends of Caddo Senator Believe
He Will Carry the Country
PLEASANT MAJORITY IN
CITY NOT LARGE
IL Attorney General Gets Below
10000 in New Orleans He Is
Defeated

The Pleasant forces are claiming
victory at the polls or next Tues
day, figuring on carrying scores of
parishes, which will lever 50 for
Ruff Pleasant for governor. De-
spite the assurances of the Pleas
ant supporters the Barrett people
are feeling confident that on next
Tuesday the Caddo senator will be
laundering at the gates of New Or
leans with upwards of fifteen thou
sand majority from the country.
The best posted men in New Or
leans political circles feel sure that
Barrett will receive over ten thou
sand votes in the Crescent City.
There will be over five thousand
Parker men who will refrain from
participating in the Democratic
primary for governor; at the most,
it is said, about twenty-five thou
sand votes will be cast in New Or
leans on next Tuesday, consequent
ly Ruff Pleasant will be unable to
obtain such a big majority in New
Orleans.
Should Pleasant only defeat Bar
ret by some five thousand votes in
New Orleans, it is an assured fact
then that Barrett will be declared
the Democratic nomiene.
st. Landry, Evangeline and Aea-
dia will go for Barrel by a big
majority. The Pleasant people are
claiming the majority of the Lou
isiana parishes like they are claim
ing st. Landry and Acadia, but on
the day Of the election they will
ascertain that both st. Landry and
Acadia have gone in the Barrett
column by substantial majorities.
As for Austin Foatenot, it is re-
ported that he has absolutely no
fear Of being defeated. His sup.
porters expect him to defeat the
combined opposition in the coun-
try. He has a splendid opportu-
nifty to secure a majority over his
four opponents.
Paul Gapdeville is in the lead for
auditor, Fred Grace and Percy
Dunbar are fighting it out for reg
istrar of the land office, E. O..
Bruner will probably reelected,
while Bailey, Hunsicker. and Coco
have a veritable cinch on the offices
of secretary Of state, treasurer and
attorney general, respectively.

IMPORTANCE OF SHERIFF
OFFICE

The principal duties of a sheriff
are to preserve peace and order
throughout the parish. to guard
and care for the parish prisoners
and juries, to attend the District
Court as the chief administrative
offlcer, and to promptly and con-
scientiously serve the processes
and execute the writs and judg-
ments of the Court, The office has
been one Of honor and distinction
from time immemorial. In old
times in England the King appoint
ed the Sheriff, or S~hire-reeye, usu-
ally a person Of great prominence
and ability, and placed the entire
county or shire in his hands. In
some sections of this country tae
office of tax collector has been ap-
pended to that Of sheriff for con-
venience, and perhaps to make the
office more attractive from a flnan-
cial standpoint, and thus to in
tiuce men of greater efficiency to
fill the dignifled Office and perform
The serious duties of sheriff.
In late years, there has been a
tendency in this State to forget the
relative Importance of tae several
departments conducted under the
control of our parish sheriffs. Too
often have the more important du-
ties Of the sheriff as the chief adj
minisfratiye officer of the parish
have been stinted, overlooked and
neglected, the incumbents exploit
ing the more remunerative feature
Of tae fiscal or tax collecting de-
partment, and leaving the conduct
at the civil and criminal depart
ments to over-worked and under
paid surbordinates.
This is a serious condition Of af-'
fairs which needs reforms where
il exists and we are sorry 70
that it does exist in a majorit.y
81 our parishes. Too many sler-
iffs carefully nurse their tax col
letting departments, for which
hey are compelled to answes 70
