BROUSSARD WILL NOT RUN
FOR GOVERNOR.

Some days ago number OF the
friends of Hon. Edwin S. Brous-
sard met in New Orleans where
they announced that Mr.. Brous-
sard would enter the race for Gov
ernor. Mr.. Broussard was invited
to meet with them and on Mon
day announced that he did not
care to become an aspirant, not
withstanding the personal APP
peal of his friends in Louisiana.
His decision was great dlsap-
paintment to many Of his staunch
admirers. South Louisiana is en-
titled to the GOvernorship and
had Mr.. Broussard consented to
become a candidate, we have no
doubt what the results would
have been.
In an interview which appeared
in the New Orleans papers we
found the following:
"Mr. Broussard had little to
sav. He authorized the following
statement as being the facts III
the case in connection with his
proposed candidacy, which was
given out Monday afternoon by
his friends: - .te.4
knowing that the many
friends of Edwin S. Broussard in
the state had urged him, and are
still urging him. to become can
didate to enter the gubernatorial
contest, we came to New Orleans
and took urOn ourselves the lib
erty and responsibility Of saying
that he would be candidate with
a view of forcing him into the
contest.
"This statement was given by
Cs without his knowledge or con-
sent, since which we have had Mr..
Broussard come to New Orleans
and found that we failed in our
efforts Of forcing him to offer as
q candidate.
This statement is signed by D.
C. Liable, P. A. Landry. sheriff of
Iberia. and e. Vuillemot, district
attorney Of st. Martin and Iberia
Parishes. Mr.. Broussard would
add nothing to this save that hei
thought it inadvisable to present
his name to the people at this
time" /

AUTOMOBILE DEALERS AS
ISOLATION Is BEING
FORMED.

Southern Louisiana towns are
going after the record for the 100
per cent section Of the louisiana
Mississippi Automotive Trade As
ISOLATION. Local associations were
formed last week for Acadia par
ish, at Jeanerette and for New
Iberia. Meetings of the dealers
were held at which every man in
terested in the industry in the sec
tions namd were represented and
signed applications for member
ship in the bi-state organization.
G.. U. Mcdowell, secretary and
general manager, was present at
each of these meetings and ex-
planned and objects Of the state
organization and assisted in the
forming Of the smaller bodies.
Mr.. Mcdowell left New Orleans
Sunday and spent Sunday night
in Franklin. where two Of the
dealers signed application cards
and the third has declared himself
a member of the association but
owing to his absence at the time,
could not be reached bv the secre-
tary. The next city visited was
Jeanerette, where meeting OF
all the automobile dealers and
supply dealers was held, with the
result that every member became
member of the local association
and Of the state body. From
Jeanerette, the movement spread
to New iberia. where on Monday
night the New Iberia Association
was formed, where every man in
terested in the automotive indus
try was represented.-Times-P

On Friday evening the Civic

in the rooms of the Chamber to
discuss ways and means to inter

up and otherwise beautify their

invited at the meeting and urged
to call some Of the owners of
property to the attention Of their

be removed. The owners of bus

more shrubbery and trees. Every
avenue in New Iberia could be
beautifed. if only our citizens
would take a little more pride in
keeping their premises clean.
Trees should be set out that would

Commerce will succeed in their
mission to beautify our little City.

Number of Years Taxes May Be-
Levied For improvement Limited
as Well as the Amount
That Is Levied

Baton Rouge
The good roads movement in Louis
lana received a big setback through
the decision of the State Supreme
Court that taxes for road purposes
are limited to mills for five years,
according to letter received by
Governor Pleasant from New Orleans
attorneys. The attorneys requested
Governor Pleasant TO take steps to
have an amendment to the Constitu-
ton submitted in order to remedy
the situation.
The decisions were in two cases,
Thement Lumber Company We. Par
ish of VIM, and Hayne vs.. Assessor.
Both cases were on rehearing SO
there is no chance to have them
changed or modified The attorneys
point out that it is impossible to issue
any bond that will not require a tax
for more than five years and in al
most all cases the tax will be over 5
mills
To strengthen their arguments, Ora
ham & Martin and Word & Oakley of
Chicago sent two quoted letters re-
ceived from John G. Thompson of
New York. one of the leading bond
authorities, that he will not be able to
approve any parish or road district
bonds until fully satisfied as to the
cases decided in go Supreme court
The attorneys said that as condi-
lions now stand, every road bond is
sued in the state since 1912 is in per
il because almost every bond is more.
than mills for more than five years.
These bonds depend for the payment
Of their principal and interest on a
tax levied each year and If the tax
is uncollectable, there must be a de-
fault in the payment Of principal and
interest Under these circumstances,
for the good name of the state and
its credit. they assert a default in
these bonds must be avoided by all
means.

Keogh, a relative of General Custer.
He was found shortly after the mass

Given the best of treatment, he fully
recovered to receive an honorable dis
charge.
Cutters men used the bodies of their
horses for barricade against the In
dams. AS they went into action on
horseback every horse was saddled, but
when Comanche was found he was
without even bride, so it was sup
posed that the Indians, believing he
was too badly wounded to recover,
stripped him and left him to die. Every
other horse was found In the heaps
