A CARD.

New Iberia, May q, 1921.
10 the Public:
In taking this means of DENY
ing the rumor being circulated
to the effect that | had with
drawn from the race for Trus-
tee of Finance, | beg to assure
you the rumor is absolutely
false and malicious and evil
IDENTIFY intended to discrcdii nv
candidacy.
When | went into the race
did so with the determination
of going through to the end and
after going this far and rccciv-
ing the substantial assurances of
support | have received. | feel
it would be an actual betrayal
of trust to even think of with
drawing.
| have tried earnestly to con-
duet myself and my campaign
on a high plane; just how we'll
| have succeeded ! leave to YOU
to say. | have received assur-
ances OF support that leaves no
doubt in my mind as to the re-
sui of The election. as | have
absolute faith in the greater
part OF the people of New Ibe-
ria.
If | am honored with the
election by you, | shall at all
times conduct myself and the
office in a manner that shall
continue to merit your trust
and confidence.
| shall devote my entire time
to the interest and the welfare
of the City and its essential de-
partment. not the least of which
| consider is the Fire Depart
ment, which | pledge myself 10
use every endeavor to put, and
on thoroughly eff
cient basis thereby reducing
our fire losses to the minimum.
| am very thankful for the as
'urances of support l have re-
;eived, and in pinning my faith
o the people of New Iberia. |
I'M absolutely confident of the
outcome.
Very truly yours,
GALL O. PHARR.

but little need for railroads as
freight carriers. In other
words with the proper highways
spanning the entire country it
will soon devolve upon the big
railroad corporations that they
must reduce their freight charg-
ers or suffer the loss of business.
The railroads throughout the
United States are already be-
ginning to feel the effects of
their prohibitive rates that they
have imposed upon the people.
With trucks at the command of
the public, goods can be moved
much faster and far cheaper
than over the railroads. 1t is
the only recourse the public has
and freight can be removed at
one-half the cost if every gap is
closed where there is a bad or
imperfect road. Let the good
road movement go on uninter-
rupted and there is no better
plan than that conceived by the
Louisiana Truck Drive Associa-
ton.

The Louisiana Truck Drive

ing at Morgan City. The next
morning they will start the drive

munity the citizens will enter
tain them at a public meeting,
and in New iberia they will be
given banquet by the members
of the Chamber of Commerce.
From here they will continue
their drive to the city of Lake

campaign for better highways
will be inaugurated by the As

slogan of the Association is

NOTICE TO ALL FRIENDS
AND HOUSEWIVES.

AS last week was cleanup
week, we took special time and
notice of what this cleanup
week would mean to New Ibe-
ria. We found that it did lots
of good, many yards, homes and
other places were cleaned, but
our main point was to visit as
many of your grocery stores as
possible in this City and we
took special notice of these pla-
ccs. We found some in a very
dirty condition, others in a
passable condition. The clean
est grocery store we observed
in New IBERIA is owned by A.
Delahoussaye & Co. on East
Main Street. We had been told
by some of our good friends that
the A. Delahoussaye & Co. store
had always been clean and a
fresh line of goods handled all
the time. We walked into their
store, bought some goods and
walked out not telling him who
we were, nor what we came into
the store to observe.
We hope this cleanup week
has done more good than we
have been able to observe, how
ever we want TO ask the ladies
to see that the stores they deal
with are kept as clean and neat
as the one owned by A. Della
hOussaye & Co.
