ming mate, Edwin S. Broussard
closed strenuous tour of st. Ian,
dry and Evangeline parishes.
Before the Opelousas meeting Mr.
Parker and his coterie Of stumI

a n d p go lie IN Eva

the first meeting taking place al
| Grand Prairie, within earshot oil
Congressman Ladislas Lazaro's
home, where $50 people congre-
gated to hear the Bull Moose chief
and his Independent Democratic
speakers. This meeting is said to
have been very successful, as well
as enthusiastic, Mr.. Parker being
repeatedly applauded.
The speeches made at Grand
Prairie were the same delivered at
Mamou, where some two hundred
persons assembled, at Vile Platte,
where over three hundred and flf-
ty heard the Parkerites and at
Washington, where two hundred
are reported to have listened at
tentively to the arguments present
ed in forceful manner
E. .. Estilette, speaking of the
moral obligation question, stated
in his speeches in both parishes,
Your moral obligation is to the
state, and not to any man or set of
men. Your moral obligation is to
vote for the best man who you
think sincerely offers program
that will benefit you"
Mr.. Estilette stated in his Ope-
lousas address, in opening the Par
ker meeting, which was attended by
some seven hundred people, that
John NJ Parker was the one man Of
all Louisianians that Governor Earl
Brewer, of Mississippi, had selected
to preside over the Dunbar-W
test case in New Orleans, and that
it was only because the governor
realized that John M. Parker was
an honest, just and efficient man to
judge the identity of the Opelousas
boy, that John NJ. Parker was
chosen above all others.
John NJ. Parker was introduced by
Mr., Estilette; it was several min
utes before the candidate could be-
gin his address on account of the
applause given by the
local Parkerites.
Immediately upon being intro
duced Mr.. Parker launched into tie
discussion of his platform. He told
his hearers that if elected COVER
nor of Louisiana he expected to
have enacted laws by which The
business men and the farmers
would be benefited. He said that
he believed in the short ballot, that
The governor should be given the
power to appoint minor state Of
icials, in order to assure the peo-
ole of this state an efficient admin
of affairs, by which means
also the shortcomings of any ad-
could be traced To the
proper officials. He gave the fed
eral government as an ayas'ple,
showing that when Bryan failed to
entertain the same views as presi-
lent Wilson he was forced to re
,ign, and when Mr.. Garrison OPP
posed the presidents preparedness

y hi"hiy desirable object in the
Transportation system OF n city Is to

cities in which the residential districts

this cannot he accomplished. aS the

laid ont to traverse the city from end
to end, passing through the business

one Of the best systems OF transfers
Is that IN which II loop or belt line
runs aroNnd and Just outside OF the

the loop on portions of ii and transfer

directly opposite the one by which It
entered the loop. Zach line would thus
have seven transfer points, from each

If the tmilic OF the city is heavy 1t is
advisable to have the loop constituted
OF several sets Of tracks In parallel In
order that the cars OF the different
lines will not DO subject to delay by
those OF others. An example OF the
necessity OF ample loop facilities is
seen IN the Brooklyn bridge terminal
in New York, where eight loops are
needed to handle the cars which stream

ing maintenance of the Monroe Doc trine or protecting the interests of American citizens abroad, a regular army virtually three times it's present size and three strong fleets for the navy would be necessary.
 General Murray, who was formerly chief of coast artillery, said experi- ments had proved that militiamen could be taught in a few days to handle coast defense guns.
 General Crozier said that while the government was not now manufactur- ing guns, 1t had a contract with the merican holder of the Vickers gun patents, a British weapon, which would soon supply these in ample numbers. The whole subject of the number of guns necessary, however, was 'ripe for overhauling,' he added. and he believed the European war had shown the necessity for provision of these weapons on a scale never here- tofore dreamed of. He instanced a report that ninety German soldiers with forty machine guns had kept a whole French army at bay for weeks
