Eight Reasons Why We Think That
Mr.. Bennett Should Not Be
Representative.
1. In 1896 Mr.. Bennett voted

him have the office another term he
would help him out all he could four
years from now. But these four
year promises seem too easily for
gotten.
In every speech Mr.. Sylvest has
made he has stated that Mr.. Bennett
recommended him for enrolling clerk.
In writing to Mr.. Sylvest about tax
ing the job, Mr.. Bennett said:
"The chief enrolling clerk will not
accept anyone unless they can handle
a typewriter well. / hope you can
fill the job all right. Let me now
by return mail if you can fill the po-
sition, for I must get some one and
the time is growing short"
When Mr.. SyIvest arrived at the
House, Mr.. Bennett told him that he
was glad that he accepted the job
for he had to get some one and he
did not now of anyone else that he
could have gotten at that time. Mr..
Sylvest appreciates the favor too, but
ne did not give up his rights as a free
citizen nor turn deaf ear to the call
of the citizens of the parish in order
to accept the favor.
Not one time during this cam
Paign has Mr.. SyIvest said any

Murphy ]. Sylvest
for Representative

Mr.. Sylvest is making a clean
fight for the office Of Representa-
tive, and we feel that he should be
an easy winner. He is an able young
man and has boldly stated his opin-
ions and principles in public speeches
and printed platform.
In order to be fair with his op-
ponent, the people and himself, Mr..
Sylvest wrote Mr. Bennett two let
tiers asking him to join him in joint
debate. Since Mr.. Bennett got out
his recent circular letter, Mr.. Sylvest
invited Mr.. Bennett to meet him at
Varnado so that they could talk over
the matters involved in the campaign
before the people. Mr.. Bennett could
not accept any of these three invita-
tons. This shows that Mr.. Sylvest
has been fair with his opponent and
the people, and it indicates that Mr..
Bennett is unwilling to meet Mr.. Syl-
vest "face to face" and discuss the
questions at issue in this campaign.
Mr.. Bennett acknowledged to Mr..
Sylvest in a 'face-to-face" conversa-
ton in Franklinton last July that he
did think four years ago that he
wouldn't be a candidate for the Of
flee again, but stated that the solicit
tation was so strong that he had
changed his mind. He also stated to
Mr.. Sylvest at that time that if he
would wait four years longer and let

1. He is an energetic young man
of sterling qualities and of unsur-

2. He was born and raised in the
First Ward of this parish; he worked
himself up into the professional

has taught school five years, four
years of this time he has served as
principal of his home school where he
was raised-the position he now
holds. The longest period of time he
has ever been absent from the parish
at any one time was the period dur

3. He is running for this office
on his own merits, taking no part in
any of the other races, free from any
particular clique, class or faction,
and if he is elected he win be I'M
controlled and free to represent the
interests of all his constituents.

who is crying; Divide! DivideT

REMEMBER

We must, as a counterbalance to
the constant growing extravaganza,
promote frugality and desire to lift
ourselves by our boOtstraps out of
the class of s9endthrifts.
If you mae one dollar which earns
interest for you, you have put your
foot on the ladder which leads you
upward to the position of Self-Inde-
pendence. We must have the cour-
age to contradict the foolish slogan,
"The time has passed when an honest
man can get wealthy" 81
Il does not depend upon how much
you earn, but on how much you save,
to mae a good citizen of you.
The trouble. is, that we all want to
get rich quick and BY gambling, try
our luck and also squander our SUR
plus in the effort to make money
faster than il can be accumulated,
even BY compound interest.
Look around you and see how long
the money easily made remains In the
possession of so-eRlled Children Of
Luck" Out Of hundreds, yea thou
sands, there is hardly one left who
reaches old age with a sufficient
competency.
I'm the oEheF nAm0 you cannot
number the men and women who be-
gan with nothing, secured in due
time their own home, often added a
second or third piece of property and
grow older and more content with the
years, and are blessing TO their own
as well as their community.
Then turn to the few truly wealthy
men in your city or neighborhood and
inquire If they have not mostly sue
ceeded by steady work and pull, early
and late. at il, holding what they
made and mostly willing to help those
who were equally willing to improve
their own condition by labor and de-
votion.

Want Certificates Curtailed

There was an interesting story on the

Washington this week for the purpose Of
making certain representations as to the
advisability of conccrting outstanding
issues of treasury certificates of in

If this can be promised it will. we be-

until the real turn comes as result Of
commodity liquidation. Many treasury
certificates are held by corporations as
tax payments. 1t is hardly supposed
these would be exchanged. but banks
wou'd lie glad to exchange into Sc

that will be always available as basis Of
loans ut the federal reserve.
Should this plan be adopted. there
would naturally be- reconsideration of
present treasury policy of purchase of
Liberty bonds monthly in open market,
which it Is imnossblc to reconcile with
constant sales of certificates. From the
corporation standpoint these ideas will
meet with little opposition.

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

Many Of the explanations and excuses
ohered for just such an orgy Of violent
huctuations as was witnessed last week
are oftentimes not only amusing, but a
little short of being pathetically mdi-
crous. If they were the deductions from
form of an insane asylum one would
not pay much attention to them. but
when they are supposed to spring from
the minds of hard headed trained men in
the financial world, where above all
other places reason and sanity should
exist. they become indeed pitiful.
1t would require almost an entire vol
ume OF this edition of paper to repro
duce all of the many novel reasons of
fcred for the smash up security values
sustained last week. So no effort will
be made by the writer to. tell one half of

their novel character.
Here IL one of them sent out by one
OF the mading houses which has many
wire connections and a big clientele. 1t
was this:

that most Of the recent breaks have been
