A critical look at Norman Walker of the Times-Picayune questions his political prognostication errors and potential bias toward Parker. The piece notes Walker’s near miss predicting Hall’s win and suggests observers may rely on car window counts or other distractions while tracing Walker’s travels from New Orleans to Shreveport and beyond.
The piece discusses hookworm as a failing theory tied to the South’s labor and health, contrasting with Northern views. It notes Rockefeller Foundation efforts to combat the disease, reports on its economic and developmental impact, and remarks on veterans with hookworm stigma amid wartime service and medical snap diagnoses.
Norman Walker appears to outpace Marty Gamble and Kaleer Bill in Louisiana claiming contests. He asserts Parker will win five congressional districts, Stubbs one, with Ouachita votes, while noting Walker’s long proven misreads in elections and hinting at motives behind his remarks.
A Ruston resident who attended the Stubbs speaking in Simsboro Tuesday afternoon returned home and said he could not find the lone father man in Simsboro and named another man. He said he made inquiries but could not bear of any others.
Key entries span 1819 Franz Abt birth in Saxony and 1880 George Eliot’s death, plus 1845 US Senate talks on Texan annexation and 1869 Ocean Grove M E A organization. Notes odd spellings and errors reflect OCR quirks in old history roundup.
