the Many Charges
BOgalusa, Il, Marcel 2s. bel

Bogalusa, La, March 90, 1920.
To the Public at Large:
am not an orator and, being such
a good ploughbOy, missed a good part
of an education, so therefore am no
man to have desire to get my name
in publication with the press, but
after reading so much nOtOriety, and
knowing the cause of same in the
papers of New Orleans, I cannot re-
frain from stating my opinion and
belief in the matter as to the charges
against Sheriff Bateman.
/ believe the author of those arti-
Giles is a liar, and the witnesses, of
which there are so many, as per the
list, are lying. Have heard one say,
already, Mr.. Dock Seals, that they
lied on him, that he, Seals, was not
nor has he been offered anything,
nor any money for his vote, and he,
Seals, was not a Bateman supporter.
Now from two or three stand
points: Who was Mr.. Bateman some
few years ago? A very poor man
and a good, honest, upright citizen,
holding a Job as janitOr Of the court
house in the country town Of Frank
lintoa, for small and barely living
salary for same. But the parish and
country fast developed, new enter.
prises coming in with the advance
ment. Mr.. Bateman also had ambi-
ton to want to advance, and feeling
so, with the wishes Of his numerous
friends, announced himself q candi-
date for sheriff Of Washington par
ish, q position he held and is yet
holding. Things were smooth seas
and fair sailing until the Bolsheviks
and agitators, framed up in BOga-
lusa, and decided and declared they
wanted the world and a fence around
same; they wanted Heaven and
Earth and all within them therein ;
they wanted front seat with cush-
ions in Heaven; they wanted the
state office; they wanted the sher-
ifs office; they did not want the
bond issue; they wanted the parish
of Washington; they wanted the
coroner's office, and last, but not
least, the wanted the Magic City Of
Bogalusa. Here is where their wants
crapped.
Now they are returning to the Of
flee of sheriff. If Mr.. Bateman had
as much money as they charge, / dare
saw he would not care nor want job
as sheriff in New York, Seattle, nor
the parish of Washington. The sum
total stated to be given out BY him

would amount to more than his sal
airy and all the graft, if so there was
any to obtain.
It is circulated that a man who be-
longs to the House Of God, said he
knew as matter Of fact that the
said charges were true, but be had
never told of them. But ! have been
taught and you have been taught, it
is q fraud to conceal fraud, and
when this man of the House Of God
kept under his hat the facts as he
said they are, he is, in my estimation,
also with the gang, considered very
small, very small. Therefore, great
many, as well as myself, know what
all this notoriety and upstir is found
ed upon, and that ia false impress
sion and false charges.

This stadium, in addition to
serving the needs of the students

great addition to the open air re-
sources of the City of New York,
and would speedily become the
center for public gatherings, games
and displays of various kinds.

ferent had the game been played on a
dry day and on a dry field, instead of
one that was covered with heavy, sticky
mud and straw. Way had no chance
wlatever in getting clear, and the Won
derful littel Davies, who like Man O.
Var can run in the mud as well as on
dry field, found difficulty in making
his gains.
Had the field been hard ard firm the
chances are that both Way and Davies
would have scored two or three times
because only the greasy turf prevented
them from running wild. The score
probably would have read something
like 81 to IA. Nevertheless. we believe
Pitt would have had the larger tally.
The Panthers against State showed
an effective ground gaining combina-

the end. The Lions, on the other hand,
persisted throughout the fray in using
