STUBS SENTIMENT GROWING.

cension indicate that the candidacy
Of Col. Frank P. sstabbs for COVER
nor is growing in strength in this
parish every day. From every ward
and precinct comes the glad tldlngs
of ever increasing reflections from
the Parker forces to the standard OF
the Monroe man. Even here in Dom
aldsonville, which at one time was
considered a Parker stronghold, the
colonel is making such gratifying
progress that his friends and sup
porters already feel sanguine that
he will carry the town by SUBJ
stantial majority.
In the early stages OF the cam
paign, many people in this parish as
well as elsewhere, were dazzled by the
din and clamor and noise Of the Par
ker cohorts, who did everything pos
sible to belittle the candidacy OF
Col. Stubs and to confuse and mud
die the real and dominant issues of
&the day. But in the course of time
THE masterful voice of Ouachita's fa-
&vorite son began to be heard above
the Parker noise and clamor, and the
message which it brought went right
to the hearts of the people of Louis
lana and caused them to sit up and
take notice. From every stump in
the state, he has in strong, fearless
and convincing language, exposed the
variegated political record and uni
reliability of his opponent and his
trying to make the New Orleans
Democratic organization the para
mount issue of the campaign, and this
exposure has produced a most whole
some impression upon the minds of
the voters throughout the state.
Col. Stubs splendid record as a
consistent Democrat; his clean life
as a citizen, lawyer, soldier and
man; his fine equipoise and magne-
tic personality, attract attention and
command respect and admiration
of fair-minded and right-thinking
men wherever he goes. His recent
tour of north and central Louisiana,
was tour of unparalleled political
triumph. At every place that he
visited he was cordially received and
given respectful attention, and at
the conclusion of nearly every speech
that he delivered, many men, some
as supporters Of his opponent
as well as some of uniformed opin-
ions, have gone to him and en-
Enthusiastically pledged him their un-
qualified support. The progress made
by the colonel in every part of the /:
states has been so gratifying that
men who are familiar with political
{l,a T.
have no hesitancy in predicting his
nomination by tremendous ma
jority.
Here in Ascension, the voters
should take special pride in support !
ing Col Stubbs, not only because he ,
IS the best equipped and best fitted I
to govern Louisiana, but also as a !
mark of appreciation of the honor {
conferred upon our people in the
selection of Gen. C. c.. McCrory, one S
If Ascension's favorite sons, as his I
manager, Gen. McCrory I
stands high in the esteem of the peo- G
Die of Ascension, and every vote cast r
or Col Stubbs in this parish will, S
besides helping to increase his ma i
orty prove we'll deserved COM e
'liment to the popularity of his man II
lger. c
The progress made by Judge g
Philip Fl. Gilbert, candidate for v
lieutenant governor, compares most h
avorably with that made by Col. g
'tubbs. Judge Gilbert has address, fl
d many mass meetings in different
arts of the state recently, and the 8.
IMPRESSION made by him wherever he
as appeared has been most favorable
nd gratifying. He is reported as
olding his end splendidly, and the c
orecast in his behalf is that he will n
e nominated over his opponent by Il
majority as great and perhaps t
reater than that of Col Stubbs. +
1t is hardly necessary to remind z
le people of Ascension of their OBJ a
cation to support Judge Gilbert Il
e is well known to every person in IL
lis parish. His envieable record as ls
istrict attorney and district Judge "
re a sufficient guarantee of his abil- r,
y and reliability as a public officer Is
nd shows that he may be safely q
usted to discharge creditably and |
ltisfactorily the duties of the office G
} which he aspires. The Demo- g
ats will make no mistake in casting W
eir ballots for him, and the pres e
it indications are that the judge
i'll be well satisfied with the large II
tie which he will receive in Ascen- p1
on. Oh
