WALKER SAYS IN
RACE TO STAY
Former Bellevue Citizen Will
Qualify and Make the
Race for Sheriff
W. Page Waiker, who has been re
ported as a candidate for sheriff of
this parish for over a year, stated on
Saturday afternoon to members of
the Parish Democratic Executive
Committee that he would positively
be a candidate and that he would be
one of the first to qualify with the
committee.
Mr. Walker, 'who is now residing
in the Rosa section of the fourth
ward, sent a. communication to this
office last week announcing his in
tention of remaining in the race.
"I'll be in the race to the end,"
said Mr. Walker to a number of vot
ers who attended the short session
of the executive committee Satur
day evening.
TRACTORS SELL
LIKE HOT CAKES
Bordelon Garage Receives Five
Fordsons and AU are Sold
Before Unloading
St. Landry farmers are fast appre
ciating the worth of tractors and
modern farm equipment, if one is to
judge from the number of tractors,
both large and small, being sold in
this parish every month.
Martin Bordelon, prominent local
young proprietor of Bordelon's Gar
age, announced this week that he had
received a shipment of five Fordsons
and that every one was sold before
they were unloadsd. "I could have
disposed of ten had I received that
many," said Mr. Bordelon, who is
very optimistic over a bright season
in the Fordson line.
"Tractors are cheaper than teams;
they have proven their adaptibility
to St Landry farmers and I believe
that within a few years there will be
more tractors sold in this parish than
automobiles." This is Mr. Borde
lon's reason for having gone so heav
ily in the tractor line. He is daily
enlarging this department of his gar
age, and as foresight in the auto
mobile line has made him one of the
recognized successful business men,
there is no doubt that his preparation
in advance for the biggest thing in
St. Landry will prove the wisdom of
his judgment.
ESTORGE MEETS
WITH SUCCESS
Opelousas Candidate Returns
from New Orleans and Oth
er Sections Encouraged
After a week's tour of the southern
portion of the state, including the
city of NeV Orleans, Hon. Henry E.
Estorge, popular St. Landry candi
date for state treasurer, returned to
this city Saturday morning much en
couraged with prospects of success
at the polls on January 2.
Mr. Estorge has been giving his
candidacy much consideration and
has looked after his political fences
throughout the state with consider
able energy. He is confident of vic
tory at the polU next January, as he
says hundreds of warm personal and
political friends are active in his be
half.
Local friends of the Opelousas real
estate dealer are confident that Mr.
Estorge will be the next treasurer.
They claim that the entire south and
southwest Louisiana sections will go
in his favor, and as he is well known
in every parish of the state, he should
have no difficulty in being elected
by a very handsome majority.
COTTON* MEN /
FORM BODY
Campaign for New Members
is Planned by Heads of
the Organization
The Louisiana division of the
American Cotton Association was or
ganized in New Orleans Thursday of
last week at a meeting of directors,
members and delegates.
New Orleans was decided upon as
headquarters. W. B. Thompson was
chosen state chairman. He was au
thorized to appoint a vice chairman, a
secretary-treasurer ,a finance com
mittee and a state director to conduct
the membership campaign.
The latter was the first place filled
T. J. Appleyard, Jr., being named.
He has engaged offices at 820 Perdi
do street, and will begin work simul
taneously with other states in the
cotton belt. The object is to secure
sufficient membership to adequately
finance the national and state act
ivities proposed by the American Cot
ton Association. The Louisiana quota
is estimated at $8500, so the primary
aim is to obtain eighty-five charter
members at $100 ea/h. Twenty-four
of these have already been secured,
fifteen of them in New Orleans.
The state committee will be ex-
panded to about 150 members so as
to include a representative from each
parish, among the bankers, farmers
and merchants. There will also be a
campaign chairman for each parish.
