Hon. John Nj. Parker and Hon. |
Hewitt BOuanchaud. Democratic can
diilates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor. respectively. addressed a
meeting of the citizens Of Benton at
the Court House. Monday afternoon.
Mr.. :. Il. Hicks. of Shreveport, who ac
companied the candidates. acted as
chairman of the meeting. The court
room was not Over-crowded. but the
crowd present was unusually large for
Benton.
Both speakers were listened to with
marked attention and 1t Is safe to say
that both made friends.
Mr.. Hicks introduced Mr.. Rouan-
claud as the first speaker. Mr.. Bouan-
cl;lud nlOdeStly reviewed his own poll
tical record as member Of the LegiS-
lature from his home parish Of POinte
Coupee for sixteen years. the last four
years of which lie has filled the pos
itiOn Of speaker Of the House, to
which lie was elected by acclamation.
He said that lie gave his record to
show to the people that he was well
prepared by his Ion: experience in
the House. as member and presiding
officer. to serve uSefully as presiding
officer Of the Senate. If he should he
elected to the Office of Lieutenant Gov
ernor. to which he aspires.
He said that he stood squarely upon
the platform announced by Mr.. Parker.
and. If elected would devote himself
| to assisting Mr.. Parker to make good
every promise expressed by that plat
| form. He ridiculed with telling effect
| the efforts of the New Orleans machine
| to besmirch the political record Of
| Mr.. Parker. He gave the record Of
| Judge Philip Gilbert's political activi-
ties. showing that he was formerly an
active member Of the Republican
party. having served as delegate to
| Republican conventions on more than
one occasion. In selecting a running
mate for Col. Stubbs. after raking the
4 state with fine-toOth comb. said the
speaker. they have seemed to prefer
an aOwed member of the Republican
party in local politics--and one wllt
had only deserted the party when ht
found that there was no longer an.
chance Of political preferment from
that source.
Mr.. Bouancllaud's remarks We're wei
received and made very evident i'm
preston upon the audience.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Bouan
cllaud'S speech, Mr.. Hick, in introduc
ing Mr.. Parker paid graceful tribut
to his high character and splendid abtl
tiles. and stated that If Louisiana eve
needed an executive who was at ono
man Of exalted character, col
structive statesman and keen an
{ far-sighted business man 1t was now
and that John NJ. Parker filled thOs
requirements as did no other man |

Mr.. Parker was warmly received b
the audience and repeatedly applaut
