tickets. He referred to the opposi-
ton as these o. d. AS New Reg
ulars or Sullivan machine" He
criticised Public Service Commits
sioner Francis Williams as an "ordi.
nary lawyer practicing only four or
! five years" and declared that he
could not compare with a practical
man like Mr.. Bowen from a technical
standpoint"
He declared: at was not Williams
who started the telephone fight, nor
that wild man Long from North
Louisiana, but it was Paul H. Ma
loney, the only member of the Com
mission Council who was elected on
the Regular ticket"
Says Williams .DisgracefuI
1.-The first meeting of the Public
Service Commission after Williams
got on it was disgraceful," he de-
clared. "a representative OF the
telephone company was threatened
with being put in Jail. He was
treated rougher than if he had been
in a police court with Jack Banville
as recorder.
81 do not want any wild man from
North Louisiana who talks about
putting men in Jail sitting on the
Public Service Commission" he
shouted as a parting shot at Huey
p. Long.
"Mr. Long knows something about
criminal proceedings, for Governor
Parker filed a bill of information
against him charging criminal libel,
for which he was found guilty and
fined 81 or one hour in jail think
he paid the 81"
He then turned back to Williams
and said: Williams is no more OF
reformer than Governor Parker.
Mayor McShane or Colonel Sullivan"
Mr.. Farrar urged the election of
Hugh C.. Cage for Supreme Court
and Mr.. Boatner and Mr.. Seeber as
the best men qualified for the places
for which they are candidates.
Union Politics Urged
He concluded: 81 ask you not to
be fooled. Don't let anybody tell You
that John NJ. Parker and John P.
Sullivan are great men"
