On motion Of Mr.. Mcllhenny,
seconded by Mr.. Deslattes, Mr..
Marcel Derouen, Chairman is
hereby authorized to obtain from
Mr.. w. K. Frantz, surveyor, an
estimate Of the cost of gravel
necessary to construct the pro-

distance Of. approximately eleven
miles. The proposed road being
of a standard width Of fourteen
feet.
The vote on this motion being
unanimous same is hereby car
ried.
At this juncture, Mr.. Mcllhenny
called the attention of the other
members Of the Board to the fact
that the amount realized from the
sale of the bonds may not be suf-
ficient to construct the entire road
as contemplated and that the as
sistance of the State Highway De-
partment and the Federal Gov
eminent is need. Mr.. Marcel De
rouen contended that the
State Highway Department may
not be able to give assistance at
once and inasmuch as the con-
struction of said proposed road
should be commenced at once un-
der the supervision Of an engineer
and labor performed by local help.
it was then moved by Mr.. Nell

and unanimously carried that the
Secretary of the Police Jury OF

BREAZEAI.E GIVEN LEAGUE s
BACKING FOR COVER
WORSHIP.

Former Congressman Phanor
Breazeale, Of Natchitoches, was
named as the candidate for gov
ernor by the advisory committee
of the Democratic Liberty League
at it's meeting in the Planters
Hotel in New Orleans Wednesday.
An effort by supporters Of the
movement to bring out John M.
Parker as a candidate or to defer
the indorsing of candidate until
September 20 two days after the
proposed Parker mass meeting,
failed by vote of "a to 9.
Mr.. Breazeale's candidacy then
was Endorsed by reclamation. He
formally accepted the Endorsement
at meeting of the leaguers in the
Planters Hotel Wednesday night.
This gathering was composed Of
the members of the advisory COM
mittee and a number of other
members of the league, and was
an almost impromptu affair ar
ranged Wednesday afternoon. 1t
was punctuated with repeated ap-
plause and cheering which began
when Mr.. Breazeale entered the
assembly hall. those present
standing and cheering for several
minutes.
Speeches Spirited.
The speeches were fiery and the
keynote as expressed by each
sneaker was Destruction to the
ring"
Mr.. Breazeale aligned himself
in the words: 81 pledge myself
to fight from now until / die
against the control of his IN
cubus. the New Orleans ring, the
machine controlled organization
which grasps the throat Of this
city and dominates Louisiana pol
tiles.
He declared he was in the fight
to the finish and predicted victory
for the Liberty League in the
Democratic primary January 20.
