St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1916-06-10

Congressman Ladislas Lazaro
makes his official announcement as
a candidate for reelection and at
the same time submits his stand on
every important measure that has
come up and is about to come up
before congress. Mr.. Lazaro thinks
that his record is fully able to,
speak for itself and for that rea-
son did not hesitate to submit it to
his constituents for consideration.
In letter to the editor of this
paper DR.. Lazaro fails to say when
he will be here to begin campaign
ing in earnest. In all probabilities
he will remain at his post of duty
in Washington until the adjourn
ment of the present session of con-
gress. It was thought by local
friends of the seventh district con-
gresham that DR.. Lazaro would
make a flying trip to Louisiana
while the national democratic con-
vention would be taking place.
DR.. Lazaro's friends are paving
the way for his campaign; they
feel confident that st. Landry will
return majority in favor of their
candidate and it is expected by
them that he will lead the field by
a good margin in the first primary.
Friends Of T. A. Edwards claim that
the race will be close between the
present incumbent and the Calca-
sieu district attorney, while the
Barbee supporters are practically
certain that the final run off will
be between the youthful Calca-
sieu district judge and the st. Lam
dry physician.
It is expected, however, that DR..
Lazaro will be here plenty of time
to start the campaign; he knows
how to work the district and he is
pretty apt to be kept busy for a
few weeks, at the least, rebuild
ing his fences.
| The following is the interesting
statement of DR.. Lazaro, as sent to
this office for publication:
To the People Of the Seventh Con-
| gressional District of the State OF
| Louisiana:
| In submitting my name to you
| for recollection to Congress in the
next Primary election and in ask
ing your vote and support, / do SC

The picnic broke up at $50, but
before leaving the scene of the

climax to the enjoyment, the
children decorated the vehicles
with festoons Of moss and green
leaves and came home singing and
cheering as only crowd of hap

All voted it a grand success, so

Jews and Mont Catholics Assisting

paign

New Orleans, La, JuHe.-edtiio-
lies in all sections Of Louisiana are
rallyng to join in the st. Louis Ca
thedraI Restoration Campaign, and
hundred of pledges of cooperation
have been received from Jews, and
persons and other non-Catholic
creeds and of all political factions.
For two months, from headquar-
ters in the st. Charles Hotel, the
arrangements have been going on.
Hundreds of letters have gone to
Catholics and non-Catholics in all
parts of Louisiana, particularly in
the neighborlood of churches with
in the guidance Of Archbishop
Blenk.
Many of the states most prom
nent men and women are on the
honorary committees, and will at
tend the banquet, arranged by the
Knights of Columbus, at the Grune-
valid Hotel the night of June. 13,
when the campaign will be launch
ed formally.
Archbishop Blenk himself is di-
recting the campaign. At the head
quarters in the St. Charles Hotel
| S. L. Seabrooks, executive seere-
tary, and A. L. Buchanan, assistant,
are directing the campaign volun-
teers and committees, which in
| cIude New Orleans most represen-
tative men and women, with others
from the cities in the diocese in
Louisiana.
Every historical and civic pa
geant and incident in the history Of
| New Orleans has taken place in the
| st. Louis Cathedral. AS long as the
| city has existed the cathedral has
| been the center of all religious,
| civic and other activities. The set
tling of the walls, caused by decay
| ing foundations, built under ole
methods of construction with the
storm of last September, has badly
damaged the structure and the
campaign is to get funds to restore
the structure in time for the cele-
bration of the 2O0th anniversary o.
the founding of New Orleans il
about 20 months.
AT the anniversary will be thu

nitaries and others. 1t will be ;
celebration that will surpass any
thing ever attempted in the coun
try for splendor, and will draw tn
attention of the world to New Or
leans.
Mayor Bearman and Governo
Pleasant have heartily indorse'
the movement, pointing out the fac
that it is a civic and religious dut;
for everyone to assist in the restor
