Two years ago the people of the City of Opelousas and of the Parish of St. Landry honored me by electing me one of their State Representatives by an ove rwhelming vote. I have ever been mindful of the confidence hey have placed in me, and in the two Sessions of the Legislature that I have attended I have always sought to justify that confidence by keeping their welfare and interest uppermost in my mind. I have freely given my time and energy, often at personal sacrifice, to matters which concerned the City and Parish and have been instrumental in obtaining for the City many benefits and advantages which had heretofore been denied it. If the people of the City of Opelousas and the First Ward of St.

Landry Parish see fit to elect me City Judge I can promise them only the same conscientious service In that office as I have rendered in the office which I now hold. On that basis I submit my candidacy.
