Circulation of the report tina
the "pink ticket" machine plan.
TO steal the election from John M
Parker has created a sensation in
political circles throughout the
state.
A prominent visiting Democrat
who is supporting Pleasant made
the statement III New Orleans
that "the word has gone down the
line that New Orleans voters are
to give Pleasant Is, 900 majority
and if they can't give it to hlm
honestly, they'll steal it." This
man declared he had been inform.

Louisiana, In the neglected couD.
try precincts, they are going to
vote the whole pol list against
Parker."
Aroused by these statements,
friends of John M. Parker under.
took an investigation which de.
veloped the fact that the view ex.
pressed by this man has been Civ.

of 10000 independent citizens
who will be on the job election
day to see that Parker's promi. Q
is made good.
Beyond thia organization al nds
the figure of Luther b. Hall, gov

Halls promises to the people
when he was candidate to stand
for fair elections in Louisiana.
aud his consistent insistence on
this policy as governor, leave no

LET'S CLEAN UP.

Attention ia called TO the fact
that less than week intervenes
bet ween now and the opening of
the Teche Fair. Before the close
Of anothrr week we hope to have
thousands of visitors with us from
various sections Of the country,
and we hope to have them stay
long enough to get acquainted
with our city and our people.
Before this large number of
strangers get to us lot us look
over our surroundings and see if
they are as we would care to Wis
itors to see themf If not, let's
busy ourselves in shaping things
up a bit. Every public spirited
citizen should cheertuAy do his
part to make the city worthy of
his choice of a home. Excuses
are awkward things to make, es.
pecially to strangers. If no ex
cuses are made the stranger with
in our gates il apt to believe that
we are thoroughly accustomed to
living in high weeds with garbage
and trash strewn about. A little
effort at ship shaping will render
excuses useless: 1t will help the
Fair, stimulate your self esteem,
and cause our visitors to speak
we'll of 10. Let's do it.

URGES CHECKS BE
 SENT TO SCOUTS
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 May I offer a suggestion regarding the refund money from the Confeder- ate reunion? The idea is not mine, but was given me by wise and kind col ored hairdresser. I told her I had re- ceived a refund from my small con tribution to the reunion. She said: T guess they can't use the money for anything else as long as they collected it for that, but it looks like a pity they couldn't give it to the Boy Scouts"
 Would it not be well for all who have received these checks to indorse them to Dr. Elwyn Ballard, the Boy Scout master, to be used toward the army equipment? I feel sure that all who contributed to the reunion want to help the boys who went so far to make that reunion the brilliant success it was, and this money, which came a surprise, will be given freely and with no sense of loss.
 I shall send my check today and hope as I believe that many will do the same. Yours very truly,

NEWLY ORDAINED PRIEST CELEBRATES
 HIS FIRST MASS
Bishop Allen Delivers Instructive and Animating Discourse on the High Character of the Priesthood

A large congregation was present at St. Paul's church yesterday Pentecost, when the Rev. Father Tomerlin newly ordained priest, celebrated his first mass It was a missa solemnis, with assisting priest, deacons and a master of ceremonies. To add to the interest of the occasion the bishop of the diocese, the Right Rev. Edward P. Allen, D. D.. was the preacher
 The music was rendered by a large chorus of mixed voices and the offer tory piece was sung by Miss Tomerlir, a sister of the priest.
 Bishop Allen delivered an instructive and animating discourse on the exalted character of the priesthood. He chose his text from St. John v:16: You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have appointed you that you should go and should bring forth fruit and your fruit should remain The bishop declared that the office of the priest was nobler and more exalted than that of any King or Emperor. He said that as long as the priest was faithful to his vows he would bring forth fruit that would re- main.
 After the mass Father Tomerlin gave his private blessing to each individual who came forward and knelt at the sane tuary rail.
