ssNo Wetter Man in the State than Pleasant.

Mr.. H. H. Ahrens, New Orleans Times
Picayune Staff Correspondent, writes from
Shreveport as follows:
REV. A. W. Turner, Superintendent of
the Louisiana Anti-Saloon League, said
Sunday afternoon:
1.-THE puny statements of Col. Peasants
and L. E. Thomas to the effect that if the
prohibitionists of the State do not let the
vets alone, the latter might pass State
wide bill which will put the dry territory
wet, consider an insult to the intelligence
of the prohibitionist in Louisiana. AS Su-
perintendent of the Louisiana Anti saloon
League, have no fear of even the VETS
attempting to play the fool to that degree.
"Col. Peasants position on the liquor
question being entirely satisfactory to the
bosses and ring politicians OF New Orleans,
is all the proof that is needed to show
clearly that his position is not satisfactory
to prohibitionist. From the standpoint of
Statewide prohibition, there is no 'wetter'
man in the State than Col. Pleasant.
81 have been in every section of the State
and it is my judgment that Lieutenant
Governor Barrett will be the Democratic
nominee. | am not claiming everything
for Mr.. Barrett, but feel safe in saying that
he will receive a substantial ma ority of the
votes cast on January 25th. 1t is generally
recognized that the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and the Louisiana Anti
saloon League are backed by the strongest
moral sentiment in the State and number
among their followers good men and women
of all the religious denominations who will
give their support to the man who stands
for the best moral interest of the State"

Evangeline Banner: Whether or not til

Evangeline Banner: Whether or not the
support of the bosses came to Mr.. Pleasant
on his solicitation is of no great Importance.
The fact remains, and fact that should
be taken into consideration by the elector-
ate, is that between Mr.. Barrett and Mr..
Pleasant the city bosses, ward heelers, bar
room hangers-on, the keepers of the I'M
savory resorts across tho Mississippi from
New Orleans, found it to their advantage
to support Mr. Pleasant, regardless of
whether their support was or was not So
licited. And it follows as q natural conclu-
sion that If this class of citizenship deem
it more advantageous to their welfare to
elect R. G. Pleasant Governor of the State,
it would be the advantage of the better
citizenship Of Louisiana to present an un-
broken front against such a combination.

Barret a Faithful Servant.

From Speech by Hon. Don Caffery.l
| have the utmost confidence that the
great work which lies before the next Gov
ernor will be conscientiously done by Thos.
G.. Barrett, if he is elected. He has been
Senator for many years. He is now Lieu
tenant Governor. He has discharged every
office with fidelity and with ability. He has
been faithful servant of right and honor
at the bar where he has stood for genera
ton, among the highest and the best of
those who bring the law into the every day
life of our people. He has been a prudent
man of affairs, and his great success in
business, with his long experience in pub
lie matters, stamp him as we'll qualified for
the Governorship.
"Oh," but some good anti-saloon men
are saying, "Barret is not strong enough
in tine cause" Has he not been strong
enough to draw down upon himself the fire
Of every boss and every whiskyite in the
State? How strong are you in the cause,
Mr.. Prohibitionist, if you finch in it's sup
port on euibble like that about the leader
who is fighting more than half your bat
ties? How wise is it to accept rotten con-
ditions because somebody proposing bet
ter does not come with the wings and harp
of the ideal. Straining a gnats and swal-
lowing camels is no rare thing; but don't
claim to be against either the bosses or
booze if you strain at gnats like that, and
swallow camels like the coalition between
the bosses and the saloons in New Orleans,
and between the bosses and the dives, and
between the courts and the honky-t onks
in Jefferson.

Schoo! Board Proceedings.

The Board of School Directors for Bos-
sier Parish met in Benton in regular ses-
sion on this, the 9th day Of January, 1915,
with all members present, to-Wit:
w. E. Connell, Ward One.
J. w. Wallace, Ward Two.
NV. Sentell (President) Ward Three.
A. j. Demoss, Ward -Four.
A. Hoffpauir, Ward Five.
L. c. Biggs, Ward Six.
After roll call, the minutes of the last
meeting were read and adopted.
On motion duly seconded, Mr.. Hoffpauir
was authorized to advertise the old Caney
School building for sale, and sell same to
the highest bidder, on February 5, 1916. ,
After duly considering the petitions from
j. D. Waggoner and D. G. johnson, rela
tive to transportation wagons to Red Land,
the Superintendent was instructed to write
them that no changes could be made in
advertised rates for transportation.
Moved and carried, that the Superin-
tendent is hereby authorized to notify the
trustees and patrons of the Bossier City
School that the school building at Bossier
City cannot in the future be used for lodge
purposes, nor as public dance hall. The
Superintendent is also requested to CO.
operate with the trustees in enforcing this
ordinance.
After careful consideration of the finan-
cial condition of the schools of the parish
the board decided to meet in extra session
on Marcia, 1916, for the purpose of ordering
special election to take the sense of the
qualified voters and taxpayers throughout
the parish on the question of voting a
special tax of l mill on the dollar for ten
years for general school purposes. This
was found necessary in view of the fact
that the Police Jury has reduced the school
appropriation from 81 mills to mills on
the dollar, thereby causing deficit in the
school fund of nearly $4,000 per year.

ticket the elector wished 10 vote
for he could do so.
There were six columns reserv-
cd on the ballots for electors to
show preference first, republic
can; second. democratic third,
socialist: fourth, prohibition ;
fifth, non-partisan, and sixth, a
blank column. What happened
was this: Republicans wishing to
vote the ticket straight with the
exception. say, of governor placed
cross in the circle at the top Of
their ticket, then jumped over in
to the democratic column and
placed cross after the name Of
Governor Alexander but neglect
ed to erase the name of ID. w.
Davis. Those democrats wishing
to vote their ticket straight but
to scratch Alexander, placed a
cross IN the circle at the top Of
their ticket and jumped into the
republican column placed q cross
after Davis name but failed TO
erase the governor 5 name. When
the ballots so scratched were
counted two systems were follow
ed. One was 20 count the ticket
with the circle at the top straight
or democratic and the
other to count the scratches for
the respective candidates. This
appears to have depended~largely
on the political complexion of the
Judges. The friends Of Davis
claim he lost many votes in this
way. The attorney general has
held that the intent Of the voter
governs in all instances of voting
irrespective Of the cross in the cir
Gle. 1t is TO bring about the re-.
count of these scratched ballots
the Davis people are eontending.
Such a recount can only be made
by the legislature. Both branches
Of that body are democratic and
It is independent of the counts, it
is claimed.

If large attendance means any
thing, the Midland Isyceum peo-

Arthur Rachel opened the season
some weeks ago, and with every
seat in the opera house filled, held
his audience proverbially SPELL

of the sMusic Master.
On last Tuesday evening possib-
" a larger gathering greeted Os-

en-, It seemed to be- none the lesz
pleasing, for all must concede thit
these ladies are real artists with
ample ability % effectively impart
their requirements to fellow be-
ings.
So satisfactory has the lyceum
course proven thus far, that the
three numbers yet to be had-and
they are also Of the premier class
are assured Of finding a very APP
preciative lyeeum community
awaiting them here.
