FOSTER r. TAYLOR CANDIDATE
FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Hon. Foster r. Taylor, who is
member of the local bar here, has as
sured us of The fact that he is a can.
didate for District Attorney for the
Third Judicial District, comprising the
parishes of Bienville and Claiborne
He has been mentioned previously as
a probable candidate for this Office, but
his recent statement eliminates any
doubt in the matter.
Mr.. Taylor is well known throughout
the district as an attorney, and for
the active part taken in various war
work activities During the various
Liberty Loan, Red Cross and W. s. s.
drives he had occasion to visit various
sections of both parishes in the inter-
est of the work in which he rendered
invaluable service, and incidentally
formed the acquaintance of large
number of citizens throughout the dis
trict. He states that his formal an
nouncement will appear in the papers
when the proper time arrives.
