The CHAUTAUQOA.

The Redpath Chautanqna clos
ed it's engagement on tuesday
night in our city with the Band
Concert, which was another very
enjoyable feature of their pro
gram. On Monday evening DR..
Barker gave his lecture, GLOW to
Live a Hundred Years.. His
listeners were attentive to every
word and true to DR.. Barker's
predictions, many resolved to fol
low as closely as possible the rules
of diet and physical exercise as
prescribed by the lecturer.
The Chautauqua has proven
both instructive and entertaining
to this people, and if it be decided
that they will have New Iberia on
their circuit next year, we predict
record breaking audiences at the
rendering of each number of their
program.
Just before the opening of the
first session here, there was an at
mosphere OF uncertainty and
doubt in the minds of many about
the new form of entertainment for
this place This feeling made its
Influence apparent in the size of
the attendance upon the perform,
ance OF the first day. The con
trast between the sizes of the
first and last days audiences was
perhaps more than striking, espe
cially as those who attended the |
last performance had to brave a
storm of wind, thunder and rain.
There was just room under the
great tent for sheterlng the PEG
pie, which doubtless would not
have been the case had the !
weather been far.

BOB'S DEMOCRACY.

Ex-Mayor and Elk Representa-
tive, Jules Il Dupuy, of this city,
was a visitor to New Orleans last
week and while there was inter
viewed. "The only Democratic
paper In New Orleans" quotes
him az saying ~. s. Senator
Robert f. Broussard will be fore
ed into the Republican party,
where many Third District Demo
Gratis feel that be properly be-
longs"
The fact that Congressman
Bob Broussard was a potent fac.
tor in the defeat of Mr. Dupuy's
candidacy to succeed himself as
Mayor of this city in 1905, could
by no possibility or probability,
lend color to Mr.. Dupuy's classifi
cation of "Couzan Bob", the idol
Of his people.
We learn this week that GER
tain gentlemen of this city were
contemplating card to the pub
lie. declaring that Mr.. Dupny was
not authorized to speak for the
Democrats of this parish. These
gentlemen" have been long &C
connted as Democrats, and are
men of probity and high standing
in the sphere of their acquain
lance. Whether the card appears
or not, it is strikingIy certain
that Senator Bob has for sixteen
years represented the Democrats
OF the Third District, following
which service, he has just entered
upon his term as Senator from the
Democratic State of Louisiana.
II 1t were in the power of any
man to "force" Senator Broussard
into any party, and he should be
"forced" into the Progressive par
ty, the "fOrcer" will accomplish
more for the permanency of the
new party than has been accom-
plished by the President through
his failure to remember and Ob
serve his campaign pledges to this
state. The Progressives would
gladly vote Mr. Dupuy a loving
cup for his services, if he only
could deliver the goods to the
Progressive party.

There was rumor, started this
week, to the effect that DR.. E. s.
Fulton, who was recently elected
Coroner of this parish, would not
be able to qualify and take the of
fee to which he has been elected,
because his name did not appear
upon the assessment rolls for an
assessment of $500 or more. 1t
seems that the Doctors name does
appear upon the assessment rolls;
but there is some confusion, posi-.
bly,, in applying the legal require
ment Of an assessment of $500 to
his office. Such requirement
does bear upon those who are
elected as police jurors, but not
upon cOrOneIs.

IBERIA'S DELEGATION.

New Orleans, La, April 30, '16
TO the Editor Of The Times Plea

l have read the interview of
Jules e Dupuy, reproduced in
the New Orleans press, relative to
the delegation appointed by the
Democratic parish executive com
mittee. l must dissent from his
conclusions as to the extent of the
delegation. l concede to Mr.. Du
puy the right to speak his opinion
10 any and all matters, but | deny
him the right to speak for me or
for the delegation as q whole.
When the Democratic executive
committee met. it resolved unani
mously that the committee should
elect an uninstructed delegation,
provide the unit rule and elimi
nate proxies. The committee then
elected twenty delegates to cast
the thirteen votes OF Iberia par.
ish under the unit rule. All of
the elected delegates are proni

tried Democrats whose fealty to
Democratic principles is unques
