ARsENE p. PuJo

The unanimous selection by the
State Central Committee of Arsene
p. Puio to succeed Col. Robert Ewing,
resigned, as national committeeman
from Louisiana was prominently
wise and deserved. No a stands
higher in the estimation of the Dem.
ocrats of this state and nation than
Mr.. Pujo, and none is better equipped
for the position or more deserving OF
the high honor.
With an untarnished record for party
fettlty and service behind him and an
already attained position in the coun-
ellis Of the national party, he will
easily take high rank in shaping its
policies.
Unlike most men whose brilliant
political career receive a temporary
set back by defeat, Mr.. Pujo received
his senatorial jar with perfect equani.

truth he is a man all over, full of

St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1919-10-11

Judge Olivier O. Provosty, associate
OF the supreme court, announced last
Saturday, that owing to the strain OF
the nine-months court session on his
health that he would not again be a
candidate for the position.
Justice Provosty is a native OF
P0inte Coupee born in 1852 and a
graduate of Georgetown University
He was admitted to the bar in 1872
and served as district attorney from
then until 1875.
He was elected to the State Senate
In 1888 and was one of the leaders in
the fight against the Louisiana
lottery. He served in the constitu'
tional convention of 1898. He was ap'
pointed TO the Supreme Court in
1901 by Gov. Heard, succeeding the
late Judge Watkins. He ran for re
election against congressman Brea'
zeale, who has just retired from the
gubernatorial race, and in a hard
Ggltt was reelected. He has a little
more than a year to serve.

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE

Judging from the service the Cum
berland and Telephone and Telegraph
Company is now giving Opelousas tele.
phone subscribers it appears that
company is trying to reach a new low
stage in efficiency. Since the in
stallation of the exchange here many
years ago the service has been infer,
ior to that of any town in the class
Of Opelousas but the past few months
have brought a service that is unsur,
passed rottenness.
The central employees are not to
blame. The blame rests equally with
the telephone company and the people
Of opelousas; the company's equip,
ment is Anticipated and the people OF
OpeIousas fail to take prompt and
energetic action to remedy this fault.

col. RoRr. EWING

The voluntary withdrawal of Col.
Robert Ewing from the commanding
position of Democratic National Com
mtteeman for the State of Louisiana,
will be a source of sincere regret to
his legion of democratic friends
throughout the state. The colonel has
filled this important position for many
years with conspicuous sagacity and
fairness, and his great influence will
be missed in party councils. For
many years he has easily been the
most prominent national figure in
Louisiana and great was his influence
and prestige in national circles. We
all remember how tirelessly he work
ed for Mr.. Bryan's election, raising in
Louisiana alone over one hundred
thousand dollars to help the Nebras-
kan. and subsequently how faithful
and e~fficacious he was In the two
Wilson campaigns.
Col. Ewing worthily represented
this great state in the national COM
mittee and no compulsion from the
democrats Of Louisiana inspired his
retirement. Indeed had it been left
to the choice of the party here the
colonel would have remained in the
harness Indefinitely.

when our people have taken UP SO
earnestly the work of readiustment of

This is the season for calm and deliber

should be no diversion or bitter dis

afraid to submit his case to the tri-
bunal which alone is vested with a

But viewing the candidacy of my
distinguished opponent in a broader
sense, it is pertinent to inquire just
what qualifications he possesses as a
public man; what his previous politi-
cal record and history has been and
by what right or authority he has en-
tered this contest as a Democrat be-
fore a Democratic primary? At Don

COVE COMMENTS

A reception was held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Segrist in
honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Don Stock
ley. Quite brilliant gathering,
the ladies in particular being most
attractive in attire that would not
shame a metropolitan gathering
in any city. AS for the men: well
you know a clean shave, Sunday
togs-and there you are--fashion
is always the same and no bother
as to what to wear. Mr.. Stockley
brought along his gas mask and
tin hat; also boche helmet, heavy
enough to give one headache in
five minutes. OF course, we all
tried it on, more or less, and as it
had heen well steamed there were
no coolies to fear. AS for the gas
mask-thunk goodness, we do not
have to wear 'em. Mr.. Moe, jr.,
brought along his violin-and he
can play some, too not mere
fiddllng. Miss Thorsen also gave
some selections on the piano. Then
there were various games, and last
but not least, ice cream and lady
fingers mot the kind you squeeze,
but the kind you taste).
Incidentally, Frank Eden and
bride were home at the old folks,
and only escaped a charivari for
the reason that coal oil cans are
scare article, and, well-we had
mercy.
Mr.. Geo. McClean stepped ashore
from the boat OH Monday after an
absence of about four years. He
says that everything around Cove
has grown except myself but |
quit growing some forty years ago.
We are all nightly pleased to see
uncle George again, as he was al
ways a favorite; and we are not
going to let him slip again in
hurry.
Mr.. Edwards fishing sloop was
launched successfully last Satur-
day. She looks fine, fit and dandy.
Well built, and a good, safe boat.
