that the list of candidates for the vari-
Gus nominations was about complete

possible that other names may be
sprung on the floor Of the convention.
Therefore the above list cannot be ac-

Indications as they are found az the
Republican state headquarters from
workers who come in from over the
state are that the convention will at
tract big crowd of Republicans from
the various districts. Already there
are four lively contests for nominations.
and these will bring in scores of rooters
and supporters of the various candi-
dates.
There will be meeting and confer

MAJOR oR|S |. MCCLELLAN
WRITES HOME

Shortly after America satisfied
the yearning of every true American
heart and declared war against the
Kaiser. Major Orris |. Mcclellan
offered his services to Uncle Sam,
but he was too old-on paper. The
major, however, thinks a man is as
old as he feels and wasn't a bit
bluffed by the regulations-nO, not
even the fraction of a bit.
So he made his way to France to
join anything in the fighting line
without further loss of time. While
he was waiting for the decision, a
Frenchman sought to inveigle him
into one of those propositions where
you put your money into a certain
venture and spend the rest of your
lie wondering why you did it; but
Mcclellan was too old a fox for that
this was one time when "a years
became handy asset. He was shot
and painfully wounded by the
Frenchman.
So Mcclellan spent a number of
weeks in the hospital and when suf-
hciently recovered, he Joined the
Foreign Legion and immediately be-
came candidate for future bullets
as anybody will tell you who
KNOWS anything about the Foreign
Lei ion, the most famous organiza-
ton in the war, and the one to which
Is ever assigned the posts of great
est danger and honor.
The following letter by Mcclellan
to his old friend, B. p. Sullivan.
president of the Public School Ath-
letic League of New Orleans, tells
more in detail of his life in the Le-
gion, the principal qualifications to
enter which are a desire to fight and
an ability to stand the "gaff," and

Foreign Legion is the most cele-

army; all of them have won the

EVERY SOLDIER WILL
WEAR NUMBERED TAG

To insure prompt Identification
of enlisted men of the army who
may be killed or wounded, a num-
bered tag system similar to that in
the British and French armies has
been adopted by the War Depart
ment.
Adjutant General Mccain an
nounced Friday night that a num-
Der will be stamped on the metal
Identification tag each soldier is re-
quired to wear, and that a similar
number will be placed opposite the
mans name in the War Department
roster.
The new system will be put into
effect Feb. %, and hereafter all .nen
entering the service will be given
a numbered tag when enrolled. By
this arrangement the department
hopes there will be no possibility of
officers not being able to identify
soldiers bodies because of blank
tags such as were worn by some of
the men who went down on the Tus-
cania.

FINDS HUSBAND DEAD IN CHAIR

Hammond Sirey, 40 years of age,
shot himself at his home, 623 At

she returned found her husband
sitting on chair dead. In one hand
