RANDOM POLITICAL NOTES, In Calcasieu parish there is a can didate before the primary election for the office of superintendent of public education (Prof. J. T. Barrett), and one for parish treasurer (C. C. Gau thier). There are four candidates for sheriff--D. J. Reid, Sol. Bloch, Jen nings Gill, and S. J. lies. For clerk of court there are three running James W. Gardiner, the present in cumbent, John H. Poe and John W. Rhorer. FoP assessor there are two -Chas. M. Richard, present assessor, and C. H. Winterhaler, now Mayor of Lake Charles. Five candidates for representative are in the field-Sim 0. Shattuck, Leon Locks, V. A. Mil ler, D. O. Dunn and S. A. Fairchild. 'Tis said that things political are welding hot there. In the city of Lake Charles there are five candidates for city judge, and three for court marshal. 'Twas an old flintlock gun that Don Caffery "Cocked" on Jared San ders, and, as is often the case with weapons of this type, it shot its charge backward and wounded the gunner and not the game. Yes, it was a desperate "throw of the dice," this last card played by the Wilkinsonites, and, like desperate. games will do, lost them their "stake." Now it is to be hoped they will permit Jared Sanders to take his seat in peace. Here is a fearful shot for the friends of Mr. Wilkinson in Caddo For Sale. FOR SALE.

It is struck by the Shreve port Times. Listen to it: "It would be interesting to know just how Wilkinson's main support ers in Shreveport regard this latest attempt to discredit Sanders. For this reason: The Times happens to know that it has been the habit of these same Wilkinson leaders to pay poll taxes in bunches along toward the closing hours of the year. The Times happens to know that these same Wilkinson leaders have taken long lists of names to the sheriff's office on December 31st in past years and have paid the poll taxes of the persons whose names they have listed. The Times happens to know that these same Wilkinson leaders have stationed themselves in the sheriff's office on the night of December 31st in past years and remained there until the midnight hour paying the poll taxes of those who had failed or neg lected to attend to this duty." Unless you have your poll tax re ceipt dated some day this month you will not vote for either Sanders or Wilkinson. You will not vote at the State election, the national election, the city election nor the prohibition election. Better blow in here some bright day and pay your poll tax, if you want to count for anything in the coming elections. It is said that some of the former Jastremski supporters are giving Colonel Wilkinson a dose of his own medicine, as it were. It will be re membered that Col. Wilkinson went around the country saying: "Well, I would not be a candidate, if Gen. Jastremski had a chance to win; but he can't win, poor old man." Now the ex-Jastremski men are going around saying: "Well, Col. Wilkinson is a good, chivalrous gentleman, but he can't win, poor old man, he can't win." If you doubt that J. Y. Sanders had as his political friends a large majority of both branches of the Legislature, ask your Representative in the Legis lature about it. He can not fail to answer you in the affirmative. Then with this fact clears, is not the credit for accomplishing the great work of the extraordinary session due Sanders to a great extent? - _-~ -- - Love of Lulu and Leander, Maud, Katzamer Kids, Buster Brown, and Foxy Grandpa, in book form for 60c, at Jocobs News Depot Co. ONE WOMAN AND SEVEN MEN HELD FOR "BOOTLEIi5INi." Deputy U. S. Marshall Hebert Makes Haul In Fourth Ward Of St. Landry Parish for Illicit Llguor Selling. The Shrevport Times informs us that the United States Marshal's of fice in Shreveport is in receipt of re turned warrants from Deputy Marshal Curley D. Herbert, who, last week, arrested in St. Landry parish eight persons charged with "bootlegging." "Bootlegging" means peddling whis key without paying a license, but it is persumed that these cases are from the fourth ward of St. Landry parish, the only ward in the parish which is prohibition. Indictments charging these with violating the Federal revenue laws were found at the last session of the Grand Jury in Shreveport. While in session the Grand Jury looked closely into the sale of liquor in prohibition districts in Louisiana, with the result that a large number of indictments charging the offenders with violating the revenue laws were returned. In addition to the arrest of the eight alleged "bootleggers," Deputy Marshal Hebert also arristed a negro, Walter Jackson, charged with per jury. The eight persons charged with selling liquor without an internal re venue license are under bond. They are Thomas Capps, John Humphreys, Nora Coleman, Caleb Ellis, Jordan Wilkinson, Al. Scott, Andrew Henry and Sidney Bowers. One to Pat. An Irishman walking in one of the streets of Dublin saw a man leading a dog on the opposite side of the street, says Illustrated Bits. He got rather interested in the dog, and, crossing the street, he touched the man on the shoulder and said: "Would you moind telling me the breed of that dof?" The man, who happened to be in a bad temper, turned round and, look ing at the Irishman, said: "Yes; it's between a monkey and an Irishman." "Shure" said Pat, "Its related to both of us."
