Angelle hence remained chief deputy under a number of sheriffs who ran for reelection every four years along with the [[Governor|gubernatorial]] race, but Angelle as the power behind the sheriff remained chief deputy through three decades. Angelle was known as the organizer of "The Old Faction" and the "Father of the Fifth Ward".<ref name=angelle/> | | Drauzin Angelle's only elected position was as a constable for the Fifth Ward, a position that he held from 1914 to 1924, when he became the chief deputy under Sheriff Wade Omer Martin, Sr. (1885-1956), and continued in that capacity after Martin was elected in 1932 to the Louisiana Public Service Commission.
