INTEREST HIGH
IN LAST PRIZE
BALLOT RACE

1t is apparent that the Second Prize
Great Subscription Campaign, will be
even more popular than the first. A
great amount of this interest is at
tributed to the fact that both Districts
One and Two will compete for the Grand
Prize Ballot which is one million votes
and also for the other nine 1t is al
ways expected that competition in
creases enthusiasm and interest, and
the race for the second Prize Ballots
is expected to be even keener than the
first.
These Prize Ballots which are now
offered are ten in number, the first one
million extra votes, and so on down to
100000. They are awarded to the can
didates turning in the largest amounts
in this period, which ends April 10.
The candidates turning in the very
largest amount gests the one million
votes, and so on down.
The Extra Special club votes in this
offer are 100000 for every club of
$4,000 This is also the last club
offer. After April 10 there will be no
more club votes.
The coupon vote which is appearing
daily, will decrease to 200 Wednes-
day and will then run for two more
weeks, after which it will cease to ap-
pear. Near the close of the campaign,
there will be no Club Prize, or Coupon
votes.
Those candidates, and there are a
good many of them, who are up and in
the running, and who feel that they
will be among the winners realize
that their best efforts these two weeks
will probably decide the race for some.
Some feel nothing stands between them
and success, since only one little sub
scription might be the deciding point
in the winning of the bort car.
Some are complaining that their
delds are already closely worked. But
according to figures on subscribers be-
fore the campaign, compared with the
number of subscriptions that have
been turned in, there is still even :
large number of old subscribers who
have not paid
In addition there are many new
prospects, some of whom probably are
newcomers to Americas and Sumter,
who are yet not we'll acquainted who
would gladly take the local paper if
only asked. There is no doubt that
new subscriptions from now on to the
end of the drive will be the greatest
chance, and all candidates 8re putting
their efforts towards gettin gthese peo-
pie.
If you happen to be among the num-
Der who are not now subscribers to the
home paper, drop in today, or mail
your subscriptions and the votes on
the bort Touring Car will be issued
and delivered to your favorite with
your compliments.

tax and it is also a part Of the
plan to meet with the members
Of the Police Jury at their next
meeting and urge that the cleo
ton be called as quickly as pos
siole. 1t is sincerely hoped by
this Journal that no obstacle will
be placed to checkmate this move
ment. No better investment
could be made and the time is
now opportune to put over a
small tax for a long term of years,
so that sufficient money can be
realized to build roads that will
be of a permanent nature. The
people have suffered long enough
and we are sure the sentiment is
now ripe for a Parish wide tax.
Almost every day we hear reports
from citizens residing in the coun-
try tributary to New Iberia to
the effect that the tax will carry.

THE JEANERETTE MEETING

In company with a few friends
We editor attended the political
pcw-wow in Jeanerette last Sun
day. under the auspices of the
Woodmen of the World fraternal
society. A joint debate had been
advertised between Ex-Governor
Luther Evasive Hall and Hon.
Amos Ponder and there were sew
eral hundred voters collected to
hear what the, speakers would
have to say. To our regret, but
not to our astonishment, Mr.. Hall
did not respond to the invitation,
prefering to leave the unpleasant
duty to a speaker, whom it was
thought better able to cope with
the situation. In his stead the
Stubs forces at New Orleans
sent h;ther Mr.. Jim Wilkinson OF
New Orleans, and at about three
O'Clock DR.. Paul N. Cyr on behalf
of the Woodmen announced the
speakers to be Hon. Amos Ponder
and the other gentleman afore-
mentioned. prefacing his remarks
with the statement that he would
not take up the time of the audi
ence, as it was getting late.
DR.. Cyr then introduced Mr..
Wilkinson and despite his wit and
humor it did not take him long to
realize that the audience was
ninety per cent Parker. For al
while the shouts for Parker was
so pronounced that Or: Cyr had
to request q few Parker enthus-
lasts to desist and let the gentle
man have his say. He then laid

great stress on the public WORT
being done by the Dock Board OIL
| which he is the attorney and trie;
in many ways to make the audi
ence see things from his owr
lenses. but to no avail. Finishing
his address without making any
converts.
Mr.. Ponder then in a dignified
manner began his speech, saying
he felt sorry for poor old jim
Wilkinson, the paid attorney u
the Dock Board, who had come to
Jeanerette to represent one Of
the greatest autocracy's of the
country. He said only few days
before he had heard that Gov.
Hall said he would not hold a
joint debate with he. Ponder, and
that word was given out that
Mr.. Wilkinson s hide was as tough
as a rhinoceros, but he would
puncture it full Of holes. This
Mr.. Ponder did and large part
Of the audience gave vent to their
feelings in more ways than one.
From first to last the speaker
romped on Mr.. Wilkinson and he
did it in a manner that left good
impression. If there. were any
voters in the audience who had
not yet made up their minds where
to stand on January Doth, we are|
certain they will henceforth bel
found in the Parker band-wagon.
At the close Of Mr.. Ponder's re-
Mr.. Wilkinson again at
to reply, but soon gave
way to his temper and quit in
disgust. Joint debates always
leave a sting of unpleasantness
behind them and we feel certain
his was the case in this instance.
After the meeting was over, with
he exception of one lone Stubs
in Jeanerette, the few
'thers struck out for homes and it
leyolved upon the Parkerites
# Jeanerette and New Iberia
o entertain Mr.. Wilkinson until
'etiring time.

The first matter to come up be-

the part of Messrs. Renoudet and
Reynaud who called attention
to the fact that the people of New
Iberia objected most strenuously
to the plan of the Bayou Boutta
Canal being finished only to
basin. They urged in its astea
that the canal be cut to Bay

PARISH WIDE ROAD TAXES

We note from the Baton Roug
papers that East Baton Roug
is planning movement to vote |
Parish wide tax for the construc
ton of model gravel roads with {
Two and One-half Million Dollar
bond issue. This has been found
necessary, Notwithstanding the
fact that most Of the main roads
in that parish is already finished
with gravel. This shows the
urgent necessity for the citizens
Of this Parish to back up the
movement to vote at least Half
Million in the Parish of Iberia.
The only way in which all of the
people residing in the country dis
tricts will get highways upon
which to travel will be by the Gre
alton of a Parish wide tax. In the
first place when taxes were re-
Gently voted to build only the
main highways in this Parish, no
provision was made for their
maintenance and up-keep and the
life of gravel road being only
FIVE wears, at the most, one can
readily see how necessary it will
be to have certain portions set
aside annually as maintenance
fund. With the amounts already
voted and another issue Of a Half
Million Dollars we can then be in
position to build a road leading
to every section Of the Parish.
This will hare to be done sooner
Of later and we might as well
make up our minds that there is
no better time than now to SUBJ
NIT an election to the property
holders. It is useless to dwell |
upon the Importance of good roads
when already every man and
woman appreciate its Importance. !,
If we hope to make life worth
living in these rural districts then
the matter also Of building bitches
to take of the surplus water after
each rain will of itself require
quite . large expenditure Of
money and out Of these same,
funds the money must also be set
aside from the taxes. We fell
certain once the voter is fully cor-1
