PARKER SUPPORTER At ROSA
SUPPORTER OF LEWIS
Mr.. Catlett of the Police Jury viii
Act on Lewis Campaign
Committee

During the last campaign Mr..
Kemp. T. Catlett of Rosa, member
of the police jury from the fourth
ward, was one of the prominent
supporters of John M. Parker for
governor. Mr.. Catlett is an orator
of no mean ability and can hold
his own in any debate.
Mr.. John w. Lewis, candidate for
district attorney, made a vigorous
and active fight for Col. Pleasant,
the democratic nominee for COVER
nor. This fact, it is understood, is
being urged against Mr.. Lewis in
his own candidacy now in an en-
deayor to prejudice the former
Bull Moose voters against him.
Mr.. Catlett, however, always
himself open in his political
fights, admires Mr.. Lewis political
eandor and writing to him not only
tenders him his support but says
Il am willing to make an argument
from the stump anywhere in your
interest. I have
a tale to tell of the pearl-let
deep,
Where the wave-whelmed mariner
rocks in Sleep" {"
Mr.. Catlett is not the only sup
porter of Mr.. Lewis who espoused
the cause of John NJ. Parker last
April, but the virile candidate for
district attorney is receiving flat
tering offers from many Parker
men who, like Mr.. Catlett, also ad-
mire him for his manly and hon
est stand for Col. Pleasant.

The parish democratic executive
committee Tuesday established an
.unheard of precedent in the matter
of taking snap judgment on candl-
date for office. Sheriff Swords was
killed on July II. On last week the
governor issued a call for a special
election to fill the vacancy, liking
said election on September Y, tle
day Of the Judicial and congresslon-
al primary. The committee met
Tuesday and fixed the nominating
primary for Tuesday, August 10,
when the 22d or the 29th would
have been a more appropriate date
and certainly showed a more liberal
and fair spirit toward Mr. Thlbo-
deaux, whose candidacy was only
formally announced on the day be-
fore the committee met.

undoubtedly "eut and dried before

He has been a tireless worker IN the

LEWIS AND SANDOz
Qualified CANDIDATES
Filed Nomination Papers With
Chairman Dossmann
pAyY AND GARLAND
TO SEEK REELECTION
Spirited Contest Promised In
Sixteenth District Candi-
dates Getting Active

On last Saturday P. r. San
doz and Jno. w. Lewis, candi-
dates for District Judge and
District Attorney for the Six
teenth Judicial District, filed
with Chairman Dossmann of
the Democratic Judicial Com
mittee, nomination papers, and
from now until election day,
which is September II, the
voters of this district can look
for interesting and exciting de-
yelopments along that line.
Both Judge Pavy and District
Attorney Garland are seeking
reelection. Mr.. Garland is
now serving his fifth term in
the District Attorneys office,
while Judge Pavy has been on
the bench something over SIX
years.
On July 4th, the campaign
was opened at Bayou Chicot,
when Messrs. Sandoz, Lewis,
Garland and Pavy announced
their candidates.. It was pro-
missed by all to eschew person
alities and adhere strictly to
the issues of the campaign.
Both the Judge and District
Attorney stated that they
would seek reelection and
stand on their official records.
Messrs. Lewis and Sandoz an
nounced that they would criti-
cize the records of their oppo-
nents, as that was a legitimate
subject for criticism; that they
would not inject bitter person
alities into this fight forget
ting Pavy and Garland person
ally, only remembering them
as Judge and District Attorney
but well remembering them in
their respective capacities, and
will demand that they give ac-
count Of their stewardship to
the people of this district.
Messrs. Lewis and Sandoz
are aggressive campaigners'
They both feel confident Of the
final result, as they are meet
ing with every encouragement
throughout the whole district.
The people are agreeing with
Jefferson on the proposition
that too long in public office
has a tendency to make one
lack in official duties. From
one end of this district to the
other the people are demand
ing a change. They want a
new deal, and what the people
want they generally get.
Speaking of the judicial elec-
ton the early part of the week
non-partisan voter said
Peyton Sandoz and John
Lewis are two of the most able
lawyers in the state. They are
both honest and clean-cut
young men. With their per-
sonal popularity and the gene
raj demand for a new deal,
conditions are certainly flat
tering". Reports coming in
from all sections of both pari-
shes point to a Sandoz-Lewis
victory.

TONE UP YOUR STOMACH

There is no tonic for the stomach that
is not a tonic for every other part of
the body. But the stomach depends,
as does every other organ, on the blood
for its energy.
There can be no perfect digestion with.
out rich, red blood. This is scientif-
ically true. The way then to tone up
the stomach is TO enrich the blood.
II your digestion is off and your blood
is thin there can be no question about
it. You need DR.. Williams Pink Pills
to restore the condition of your blood,
use care in the selection Of your diet
and the stomach trouble will take care
ofitself.
Stomach trouble is debilitating. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are a tonic and
build up the weakened system generally.
Most stomach remedies try to digest
your food for you. How much better
it is to tone up the stomach so that it
will do its own work as nature intend
ed. There is no pleasure in eating pre-
digested food. Tone up your stomach
and your appetite and digestion will
soon be normal.
A diet book will be sent free on re-
quest by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own
druggist sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills
or box will be sent by mail, postpaid.

who heard to-day of the second col
lapse of the Quebec bridge across the
st. Lawrence river recalled many Incl
dents surrounding the fall of the first
bridge, August 90, 1907.
Most of the iron which went into
the former structure was rolled at Har-
risburg mills and a Dauphin county
man was in charge of construction
work. Several bridge workers known
to Harrisburg and Dauphin men were
among the seventy men killed.
The first attempt to bridge the
st. Lawrence was watched by engi-
neers throughout the world as the
was the project watched with more
interest than in this city.
Down at the Central iron and steel
plant the mills We're busy turning out
the steel which was to make the big
spans. More than $5. ZOO, 900 worth of
steel was required and much of this
was rolled in the local mills. Careful
inspectors were constantly watching
every process and the slightest defect
caused rejection of whole heats OF
material.
The local mills turned out the ma
terial under a subcontract with the
Phoenix Bridge Company, Phoenix
vile, Pa. The estimated cost of the
first project was $10,000,000
In charge of all construction work
at Quebec on the first bridge was
superintendent A. b. Millegan, a Dau-
phin man. Mr.. Millegan is we'll known
at Dauphin, but does not now make
his home there. He is the son of
SQUIRE Henry Millegan. known to all
old residents of the upper end of the
county. The squire has been dead
these twenty years.
Mr.. Millegan escaped injury in the
first crash, although many of his fell
low-engineers were killed. At the time
of the accident he was on his way
from Phoenixville to Quebec after re-
porting at his Office.
In describing the former collapse
Mr.. Millegan told friends that the
main column weakened, topping the
entire structure into the river. More
than 800 workmen were on the struc-
ture when it fell. Ninety of them were
killed.
