It seems that Mr. LeBlanc, al
though a resid.nt of the second jus
tice ward, which is incorporated with
in the limits of the first police jury
-ward, in filing his declaration of can
didacy with the chairman of the par
iah committee, as required by law,
_tated that he was a candidate for
justice of the peace of the first
ward. The parish committee, at its
meeting of Oct. 31, duly declared
him to be the nominee, no other no
tification of candidacy having been
received. Just before the parish
ickets were printed, however, Mr.
LeBland, realizing the mistake he
had made, wrote the chairman of tie
committee and asked that his name
be placed on the ticket as a candi
date for the second ward justiceship,
and this was done.
,The vote at the three polling pre
cincts of the first police jury ward
showed a tolal of J3 for LeBlanc and
610 for Mollere, but at the meeting of
the parish committee last Saturday
Mr. Mollere protestd against his
opponent being declared the nominee.
After a discussion of the matter, the
orotest was sustained, the proceed
ings of the committee at its meeting
of Oct. 31, wherein, Mr. LeBlanc vas
declared the nominee for justice of
the peace in the first justice ward,
were ratified, and lMr. Mollere was
foi'mally declared the nominee for
justice of the second justice ward.
A prim:ary was ordered for Feb.
