sTUgBs FOR GOVERNOR.

Now that the lists have bee,
c1oeed and the race for the Demo-
cratic pubernatorial nomination has
narrowec down to two asplrants,
Col Frank P. Stubs and John M
Parker, the Chief, after care1uily 7
weighing the merits and claims OF
each candidate and after q thorougn
consideration of the situation, mas
decided to cast its lot with Colon ~,
Fra,tk p. Stubs, and to give unquai-
fled support to his candidacy for
the highest office in the gift OF the
. naonIe of Louisiana. In arriving at
INC decision. the Chief was IN
#anenced by the sincere belief, that OF
the two. Col. Stubbs is the best
eouipped and best qualified to I'll
the office of chief executive ana 70
nreside over the destinies OF the peo-
pIe OF this great state.
I.ouisiana, like many other states
of the Union, has for some time past:
suffered from an overapuhdatlce "
notifies. and as a result she has not
developed as rapidly as sile mlghs.
have done in education, agr'sulIufe,
commerce and manufacture. hlch
in resources Of all kinds, with posi-
h;I;ties FOR unlimited exploitation ana
daveIopment, the state has Jagged
hoh;nd because some of those charged
with the management Of its affalfs
have given more time to politics than
to governmental business, anu nave
devoted more attention to the az
vancenent of their personal ampltloEs
i than to the promotion of the materla l
interests Of the comm onwealth.
IN Col. Stubs, we believe that the
state viii have for chief executive a
man who will eschew polltlcs.
man who will place duty above per-
sonality, and the best interests q
the people above individual ambltion
and who will devote his energy, ms
activity and his best efforts towards
tba unbuilding of the state ana Ine
Iavelopment Of its vast natural re-.
sources. In every speech which ne
Nae delivered in the present cam
naien. Col Stubs has pledged hlnl-
self to such a policy and ms NJ !. !
and record ara q guarantee that II
elected he will faithfully carry CUT
/. his pledge. s
4 LAWYER by profession, po!lsh-
ed gentleman, man OF lne nss i;fs
integrity, in the very prime o. NE US,
with an unblemished record, G0l'
Stubs will bring dignity TO tfle
high Office and inspire confidence IN
the people, and we predict that I'M n,
AR his administration the state VIII
enioy a period of prosperity un-
paraIlelled in its history. We com
mend the candidacy Of Col. Stubs
to the earnest consideration OF the
neonIe of the parish of Ascension,
and assure them that in supporting
him they will be serving their best
interests as well as the best interests
of the state.
The same reasons which Influenced
us in our dicision to support Col.
Stubbs. for governor, impelis Us tn
rive our endorsement to the candl-
dacy Of Judge Philip i. Gilbert fo1
l lieutenant governor. a native an 11s
lifelong resident of Assumption! s 8 :
LAWYER also by profession. q Jurlst :
of recognized ability, gentleman :, o.
the old school, with an exceptionally
meritorious record. A man who en-
lows the respect, the confidence and
the esteem of all who know him,
Judge Gilbert is enimently qualified
for the office to which he aspires.
He will make a splendid presiding
officer for the state senate and can
be depended upon to fulfill, as
lieutenant governor, every expecta-
ion of the voters of Louisiana.
Col. Stubs for governor and
Judge Gilbert for lieutenant cover
nor, make an exceptionally strong e
team; team which we predict WIN
sweep Louisiana on the day OF elec-
tion. and a team, which when work
inc together as governor and lieuten-
ant governor, respectively, will give
10 the people a government Of which
they shall be proud and one which
viii compel the respect and attract
the admiration of the whole country.
