GRAY for SHERIFF RAPIDES PARISH In my candidacy for Sheriff of Rapides Parish, it has been an impossibility for me to see each and every Voter in person. Many of my friends have con Mr. Black is havine the road I favor twelve months pay for the school teachers, and the school teacher's tenure law. Outside of the teaching a child gets from its mother, the school teacher has more to do with shaping the character, and lives of our children than anyone else. We should make the school teaching profession so attractive that the highest type of womanhood, and manhood would prepare themselves to teach our children.

This means so much in the type of citizens we shall have, from whom will be selected those to guide the destiny of our state, and country. I favor repeal of the sales tax. It is the most unsatisfactory tax we have to pay. I favor a tax on the Carbon Black, and minerals of our state to replace the sales tax. I favor return of power to our sheriffs, assessors, mayors, and all other officers elected by the people.

I believe they should only be responsible to the people that elect them. I am for organized labor. Without organized labor the pay envelopes of all labor would be much lower than it is today. Give the laboring man a wage, and the farmer a price for his products, that will enable him to own his home and raise a family, and we won't have all kinds of foreign isms breeding in this country. These foreign isms breed where we have underfed, and underclothed masses.

I want to see the many underpaid state employees given a decent wage, and then put on an eight-hour basis. I am for an old age pension. This has been made the football of not only the state politicians, but the federal political aspirants as well. It is high time something is done. The big corporations are culling our people forty years, and older, and a man or woman over 60 years of age has no chance at all for a job.

I say give an old age pension of $30.00 per month to every man and woman over 60 years of age regardless of who he is, or how he voted, and lets get it out of that intersects the pavement at Precinct 5 Mayfield Cafe, lower Third street.

To those many voters of Rapides Parish who will go to the polls on Tuesday next, I earnestly seek your vote and support. I feel that my experience well qualifies me for the office which I seek, and that my past record indicates that I will do my duty, that I will enforce the laws fairiy and impartially. I pledge you, that If I am elected Sheriff of Rapides Parish, that I will do my best at all times to justify your confidence placed In me.

I am running strictly as an independent Candidate and I will promise Voters of Rapides Parish that I will remain independent. (Paid Political Adv.) uiur, i this week. LAMOl'RIE LAMOURIE, La. (Special) Mr. I.

L. Drewett and children spent Sunday with rel-etives at Wood worth. I direct my remarks largely to the people of Rapides parish, but my interest in honesty, and decency extends beyond the limits of Rapides parish. I believe the entire state has felt the effects of the type of government that has had our state under it's control the past four years. As I stated before, in this campaign, I was not asked by a single soul to enter this race for Representative.

I therefore am not affiliated with any candidate for any office. If elected I want to be absolutely free to serve the people that elect me. In 1918 I volunteered my services to my country as a soldier and went to a foreign land to fight for a country that I loved. I now volunteer my services to the people of Rapides parish, as a business man, to go to Baton Rouge to fight for a state I love. That you might be a little more enlightened as to my back ground, I want to state, I was born at Gaar's Mill in Winn parish, May 28th, 1 896, the third child in a family of nine children.

When about two years of age my parents moved to Mt. Lebanon in Bienville parish where my father entered school. In 1906 we moved to Verda in Grant parish where I finished high school in 1915. In this same year we moved to Pineville where I have resided since, with the exception of about two years I spent in the army during the world war, and four years I worked in Mississippi. In 1928 I went to work for the Pineville Hardware Company, then in Pineville.

I took over management of this firm in 1 932 during the worst depression this country has ever known. As I have my business now looking to a successful future I am willing to sacrifice the time from my business to serve the people as your Representative as I see your needs. I want to see our state cleaned of all crookedness, graft, and waste of public funds. Place our departments of state on a business basis. Remove from the payrolls those that render no service to the state, thereby saving many thousands of dollars each year of the taxpayers' money.

Lets pay the state employees their salaries that are really working for the state and let them spend their hard earned money as they see fit, and for once and always do away with the deducts. This practice of deducts from their salary does not belong in free America. We have too many underpaid state employees working for the state to stand by, and let the big shots have their salaries raised, and in some cases doubled. A few years ago our local judges received a salary of $3000.00 per year, then it was raised to $5000.00. The last legislature increased it to $6000.00 and after so many years of service, they can retire on $4000.00 per year.

Why was this done? You know the answer. I say lets go back and take off the top, and add to the bottom until we reach some degree of fairness. I have had a number of state employees come to me to find out about the security of their jobs should I be elected Representative. I gave them all the same answer; and that is "if you are giving the state a day's work for a day's pay you have no fear of losing your job from T. C.

Brister." The fellows that I want to see get off the payrolls are the deadheads that get the big salaries and do no work for the state. TAX VICTIM 1 DES MOINES, la. (By A. P.1 Even State Tax Commissioner David L. Murrow admits that the Iowa income tax can sometimes cause a headache.

He is qualified by training, temperament and experience for the coronership. at i'f2 Ha Serving during depression years, he politics, so our old people can live in peace, and happiness during their last years with us.

I am against a state wide or parish wide No Fence law. If a certain section wants a no fence law, let them vote it on themselves. To put a no fence law on the people in the hill country would impose many hardships on them, and I am going to use my every effort to see that they are protected. I am for $3.00 car licenses, and at least 50rc cut on the licenses of trucks when used by the owner to make a living for his family. I will introduce a chain store law that will save the small business man from the monopoly of chains.

The present law is not adequate. You independent merchants insist on your Senator and Representatives fighting for such a bill when it comes up. If elected you will always find me at my place ot business, when you have occasion to see me. This has not been your pleasure in the past. What other candidate for representative can say this? Now my friends Tuesday you will go to the pol" to cast your vote.

The future of our state hangs in the balance. It is by the vote of the people we will guided. YOUR VOTE IS YOURS.
