the opinion of Toledana A Wal.

Mr.. Wallior bases this statement
on the fact that Louisiana has
unlimated quantities Of the four
principal ingredients, sulphur,
oil, salt and lime.
"There is no possibility of the
supply becoming exhausted he
said. "Failure up to this time
presume was due to the lack of

people believe we are dependent

one-half of the population are
negroes, and of the remaining
half, only about one in five are
voters, this rednces the possible
vote of this parish to something
like 3, 150. OF this latter number
there are invariably many ab-
'aentees on election days; some are
without interest and will not go
to the poles; others may be III
and cannot venture out; and still
others have become 'ssquaw. men,"
So, when we find the voting
strength OF this parish reduced to
twenty eight hundred in round
figures, it is about right and rea
soDable. BY recent estimates,
the Progressives will marshal ful
ly 1850 voters In this parish
leaving possibly 1000 Democratic
votes 10 the parish. Therefore,
it is an easy guess that DIR. Ful
