To the Democratic Voters OF
the 26th Judicial District
of Louisiana:

Fpur years ago the people OF
this Judicial District honoreo me
by selecting me as their District
Judge. TIE time is noI al hand
for me- to give an account OF my
stewardship and to respectfully
ask. if / have been found worthy,
that I be entrusted for 2 second
term with the administration OF
the Judicial affairs of this dis
srict.
The duties of a district Judge
are of a most e1acting nature.
In the country parishes it is re-
ouired that the District Judge
preside both in civil and crimi.
nal proceedings.
Il has been ny rule 10 clEil
cases TO take them under ed
visenent. TO carefully consider
and weigh the testimony, and
10 examine the Law applicable
thereto before rendering a de-
cision. In criminal matters |
| hare attempted to be fair and
impartial. and protect the best
interest of the State as well as
those Of the accused.
But Ia all cases, at all times. |
have attempted 10 be courteous
10 the Jurors. the witnesses, the
liagants and the lawyers. and
allowed both the Litigants and
their attorneys every latitude
allowed under the Law.
| In deciding case a Judge can
not please both sides; be can
only decide as be believes 10 be
right, after q fair and impartial
consideration of the case. This
iT have dome NO MAN CAN DO
MORE. ] have no doubt made
mistakes bus they have been
honest mistakes, and | am proud
to say an examination of the
records of the Appellate Courts
lof this state will show that q
large majority of my decisions
have been affirmed.
| During ny term as District
Judge / have never missed a
regular term of court, and !
IhaTe when requested, held
Especial terms TO avoid delays
and facilitate the administration
LOT justice.
! Experience Is q great teacher
land / feel that my service as q
Judge for the past four years,
land the experience gained there
by has greatly increased my
deficiency, and should | again be
entrusted with the Office of
Judge of this district, / will be
better qualified in every way to
better serve the people of my
district.
| My Official duties are such
that 1t may not be possible for
me to see each voter personally.
unless I neglect the duties of my
ofice, which | will not do, and I
therefore take this means of
soliciting the vote and the in
fuenceo of each of my constituents
in the support of my candidacy
for reelection.
Faithfully yours.
| prentiss B. Carter.

You find your head unconsciously
nodding. The fire dwindIes. There
are sleepy yawns, and movement
toward the tents. Presently out Of
the darkness come the soft notes of
taps" And there, under the stars,
a camp of American boyhood sleeps.
You can remember, back in your
own young days, when you would
have feared to spend a night in the
open. You wonder what has become
Of the boy afraid Of the dark. Has
he lost that fear some place along
the trails Of Scouting? You go off

But I do not believe it. I do
not believe for a moment the port
is in any danger. Freight comes
here because this is the place the
ships come to. You read the news
papers, and from what is said you'd
get the impression the whole coun-
try had gone to the dogs. But, as
a matter Of fact, the people are
doing just what they always did. As
for myself, I do not believe that
there is any very great unrest. Peo-
pie say things are awful, but they
aren't awful at all.
Coming back to the subject Of

ing Of frog can be heard above the

1t is true. Ask any locomotive en-
eineer. He will tell you that above
the grinding Of wheels on rails, the
exhaust Of steam, the smash and
rattle and bang of the coaches as
they travel along through the coun-
try he has frequently heard the
song of the frogs along the right
of way. Their croakings seem to
have some curious, carrying and
penetrating quality which cuts
