Life of Candidate is
Reflected in Campaign

platform, he will concentrate him
works. He says he will improve
the conditions of the streets, and will
direct more municipal attention to
the schools, churches, charitable in
situations and markets. He says he
will be the peoples representative,
owing allegiance to no party or or
ganization.
In his quiet characteristic way,
Mr.. Clark is conducting his cam
paign. The flare of red torches and
blare of bands are conspicuously
absent at his meetings. He appeals
to no particular class for support.
This was fittingly demonstrated few
days ago when he made a campaign
address in an alley in the rear of the
sugar exchange. Sugar brokers and
roustabouts, bankers and messenger
boys rubbed elbows to hear him.
81 would walk hand and hand with
the men and women doing the work
OF the world, suggesting, advising,
cautioning," Mr.. Clark promises. 81
would consider it an incomplete days
work when l had not directed some
ambitious person towards a higher
and better life"
Mr.. Clark is mingling with the peo-
pie. He is going about making
his life. He is asking the people of
the city to elect him on his record as
a business man and citizen.
He is not dealing in personalities
or animosities. He casts no ref1ec-
tions upon his opponents. He stands
for himself alone. He says he is
willing to let the people decide.

Among these eight hundred men.
who came out of the gate from the sta
ton, there was but one who refused to
shake Mr.. McShanes hand. He
shrugged his shoulders, drew his arm
aside and grumbled that he was for
Behrman. One big fellow in the crowd
said That's all right. Mac. there's
only a few of those in here"
One of Mr.. McShane's favorRe ex-
pressions to the men was as follows:
This is McShane. boys, candidate for
mayor. | want you TO see me- I'm
not one of the big guns. / don't hob

OF you-of the common people | have

years. | know what the common peo-
pie want. am going to be your ser

AS the two little ferries pulled out
from the bank carrying many of the
working men to the city side of the
river, there was every evidence that
the men were pleased with the demo
cratic demonstrations of our new
mayor.
Returning again to the ferry on his
way to the city, Mr.. McShane finished
the day by shaking hands with and
speaking to everybody on the ferry
boat. men, women and children.
Mr.. McShane was taken to the Naval
Station by Louis Munstermann, chair
man of the o. ID. A. of this ward. and
by the editor of the Herald.
An incident in Mr.. McShane's visit
to Algiers was that he and Mayor
Behrman crossed on the same boat
coming to Algiers.

Columbia Loan Shows
Interest In AIgiers
FIRST AND ONLY HOMESTEAD
WITH OFFICES ON WEST
SIDE.

The Columbia Building and Loan
Association with main Offices at sos
Perdido Street, is operating branch
office in Algiers at 800 Pelican Ave-,
in charge of Mrs. II. c. Brown When
the Columbia organized over a year
ago, il established the Branch office
in Algiers in order to afford its de-
positors the convenience of saving
their money without the necessity of
paying for ferryage and car fare.
This is a big saving for the people
of Algiers, and should be given con-
sideration by those desiring to save
and receive the highest rate of inter-
est that their money can earn. The
Columbia accepts deposits on Savings
accounts as low as a $1.O0 and pays
60 interest compounded semian-
nually. Withdrawal of funds can be
made by presenting pass book, and
the depositor never loses one cent
of the money invested. The Column
bia is organized under the Laws of
Louisiana and is operated under the
supervision of the State Banking De-
partment. The money invested with
the Columbia is loaned solely on Real
Estate secured by first mortgage
Vendors lien and privilege, which is
recognized and accepted as the safest
form of investment. Those deposit
ing their savings with the Columbia
will be given the preference of secur-
ing a Loan to buy their home, and
while saving. they will be earning
six per cent on their deposits. The
Association is also issuing gilt edge

nations of 10000 and multiples

for the Dividend being mailed every
January and July 1st. These certi-
ficates are a high class investment
and can be redeemed at any time on
presentation at face value. The
Columbia is Capitalized for FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS and has Asstes
of over $35O,OO0.O0; it's growth is
considered most remarkable, having

Poor Mans Burden
Piled Up By Behrman

The question of taxes is one that
affects every citizen, whether he be
landlord or tenant.
Under Behrman's sixteen years of
misrule, taxes have increased stead
lily, and large overdrafts have oc-
CURED, due to inefficient management
of the affairs of New Orleans.
Behrman claims TO be the friend Of
the poOr-we have been taught figures
do not lie-sO, we will resort to a lit
tie arithmetic TO prove up our case to
your satisfaction.
The poor mans property ranges i'm
value from 100000 to 100000 and
We will confine ourselves to taxes
based on city tax of 23I2 mills and as
sumo the State tax will be 6h mills.
On this basis we find the following
facts:

From the above 1t will be noted. the
poor man owning small home almost
pays rent to live in it exclusive of gas,
water and electricity, to say nothing
of the ratproofing and other require
ments. These facts, and nothing else,
is what keeps down the progress Of
our city, because no man, or company
of men, want to build or locate in any
city where their taxes are fed as pap
to lot Of political henchmen. II you
do not own the property you live in
your landlord raises your rent to meet
these heavy burdens of taxation; so
when a ring henchman tries to play
for your sympathy for this, that or
the other fellow, keep in mind the fact
that every vote cast for Behrman and
his clique increases your individual
burden-and following Behrman's own
habit of self-preservation- for

Cinch Broussard Saws

The third District will poll a larg
er percentage of the qualified vote
than any other country district
Broussard will not lose a single par.
ish in that District.
THE Sixth District will come next
in point of the number of votes cast
Broussard will carry six of these par
ishes, break even in three others. and
receive a fair vote in the remaining
three The Seventh District will prob
ably not poll more than sixty five per-
cent of its normal vote. Broussard
will carry that district by a compare
lively small majority.
The Eighth District will probably
show up with IS to 80 per cent of the
vote polled last January. This Dis
trict will give no Senatorial Candi
date any material advantage over his
two opponents in that District, but
Mr.. BrOussard has developed consid-
cradle strength in that section and his
friends there claim that he will make
splendid showing election day.
practically these same conditions
apply to the Fofth District, except the
vote there will not likely be more than
fifty per cent. and many of Mr.. Brous-
sard's friends look for a practical
stand off between all three candidates.
Accordingly, we can say, with con-
fidence, that the conditions are so ia
vorable to the Broussard candidacy,
as to practically assure us of his nom
imitation. 1t simply remains for his
friends to see to it that the sentiment
in his favor be expressed at the polls
recorded and duly returned"

WOMEN ASSERT MAN LEAPED
FROM FERRY.

Only until the Mississippi River
gives up it's secret, will it be known
who il was lost hisl life by falling off
the Canal street ferry Saturday even
ing. According to Louis Imbau, gil
Vallette street, collector on the ferry,
the boat was on the Algiers side
when he heard a woman scream.
Rushing astern he found two
white women who told him a man
had either jumped or fallen over
board. Imbau lowered life boat
and picked up a straw hat, size rs
purchased from Lou Welsh. Careful
search, however, failed to find traces
of the missing man.

HOW SENATOR HENRICKS
HELPED THE BILL

Prior to the meeting held at the
office of The Herald for the purpose
of drafting the bill. Senator Henricks.
after being invited to attend by sew
eral of our citizens, and after faith
fully promising to De present, was
conspicuously absent. This was
Senator Henrick's first interest in our
cheaper and better FERRY system. But
let us see what our Senator did for
our Algiers citizens in Baton Rouge
the night the Algters Committee;
namely, John r. Norman. N. E. Hum
phrey and DR.. c. V. Kraft were giving
a hearing before the house commit
tee. The Algiers Committee met
Senator Henricks a half hour before
the meeting. The committee urged
the senator to be present as it would
help our bill to have a member of the
senate present to talk in our behalf.
BUT, again Senator Henricks was
conspicuous by his absence, he was
so interested in the Algiers Ferry
bill that he did not put in an appear
ance. Senator Henricks was elected
on the Regular" Democratic Ticket
the choice of Martin Pehrman.
The herald. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1905-1953, 1920-09-09
HOW REPRESENTATIVE ODON-
NELL HELPED THE BILL.

The part played by Representative
O'Donnell in helping the Algiers peo-
pie get better and cheaper ferriage
was well told by Representative
Rudolph J. Weinm. mn of the 14th
Ward. when he charged in his speech
in Algiers that the measure was de-
teated by machine controlled legisla-
tors from New Orleans.
This measure" said Mr.. Vein
mann, was drawn up by citizens who
felt that so vital link between New
Orleans and Algiers as the ferries
should be in the hands of the public
and operated for the benefit of the
public rather than in the hands of
private interests and operated for the
benefit of stockholders. In other
words they wanted to make the fer
ries public. utilities when possible and
drew up the bill with that end in
view. Believing that Mr.. ODonnell
would keep faith with the people he
represented they asked him to intro
duce the measure. How he BETRAYED
that trust you will soon see.
While John r. Norman. Nick
Humphrey and Dr. Kraft were in
Baton Rouge appearing before the
committee in behalf of the bill. Jim
ME Henriques, attorney for the
Southern Improvement and Ferry
Company. and incidentally chairman
of the boss-controlled New Orleans
Parish Democratic Committee. and
close associate and advisor of Martin
the Magnificent not only spoke
against it in committee but lobbied
against it as we'll.
When the bill came up for final
passage in the House on July 5th.
O'Donnell who had promised 10 see il
through. ODonnell who has had the
effrontery to assail the record of
John NJ. Parker, O'Donnell who has
claimed to be the representative of
labor, the class which would have
been most benefited by the passage
of this ferry bill, O'DonneIl was not
there. And the bill was handled
as reported by substitutes, by Repre-
sentative Higgins, of Jefferson, who
realized that unless it passed that
day, it would never get through the
senate in time.
This legislation affecting the may
or's bailiwick as it did, you would
imagine that the city ring delegation
of seventeen would be solid behind it.
But what does the House Journal
show?
Sixty votes were needed and the
bill got fifty-eight.
"Behrman and his representative.
O'Donnell, broke faith with the peo-
pie of Algiers."

LIVESTOCK PLAY
MAJOR PART IN
FARM OPERATION

A careful survey of farm operations
the country over shows that livestock
play major part In every we'll bal
anced system Of farming. If the farm
err Of today is to build up business
of farming for the future his slogan
must be better livestock, says L. A.
Richardson, animal husbandry special
list of the Division Of extension, Uni
versity Of Tennessee.
The Tennessee farmer must come to
the realization of the fact that 40 per
cent of the boars, 80 per cent Cd the
bulls, 60 per cent Of the rams, 20
per cent Of stations and jacks of the
state are In grade or scrub class Mr..
Richardson states that conservative
estimate Of the loss to the state an
nually thru cattle, hogs, sheep, horses
and mules sired by these scrubs and
grades Is close to $7,000,000.
A calf from good purebred bull
at weaving time is worth $1,000 more
than one sired by grade or scrub
bull pig at weaving time sired by
q purebred boar will bring $3.50 to
$500 more than one sired by scrub
boar; a lamb sired by good purebred
ram is worth an average of $500 more
than one sired by scrub and colt
sired by purebred stallion or Jack
is worth $1,000 to $1,000 more than
one by a scrub. With this In mind 1t
is not hard to run the loss to the
state and to the farmer and breeder In
to the millions Of dollars. The above
figures are based on a great many sire
surveys conducted by county agricul-.
tural agents In the various counties In
Tennessee.
Not only must the Tennessee farmer
be breeder Of purebred livestock but
he must learn to feed this better live
stock, says Mr. Richardson. During
the year Of 1919 the average weight of
all cattle that came on the market at
Jacksonville Fla, was $50 pounds
New Orleans, T50; st. Louis, 1850;
Chicago and Kansas City, 1,150. Any
one going over these figures will note

markets of the Central West and the
South. Two things according to Mr..
Richardson are directly responsible
for this. In tile first place cattle on
the Northern and Central Western
markets carried more quality as q
result of breeding. This coupled with
an ability to feed the better animals
and TO grow them out makes the DIFF
ference in weight.
Another interesting feature to be
taken into consideration is the fact
that cattle marketed in the North are
finished six TO eight months earlier
than those marketed in the South.
Good bulls, plenty of feed in the way
of pasture and winter roughage is the
answer TO this question. The farmer
who is contented to use scrub slres
must consider that every animal sired
by them lost the owner from $50 to
$40 per head which may well be called
direct tax collected by the scrub
sire.
Which way are our livestock golng7
