ROOSEVELT MAKES
TARIFF ARGUMENT
And Tells Southerners 1t Is
Time to Break with Dem
ocratic Party.
(National News Association

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 27.-In
this rigidly democratic state Colonel
Roosevelt today made an appeal to
the democrats to support the Progress
sive party. The ex-president assailed
the democratic house for it's recent at
tempt to remove the tariff on sugar.
The New Orleans address of Colonel
Roosevelt, coming after his long jump
from Jackson, Tenn, is really the first
elaborate expression of his reason for
asking democratic support in the
South. He made his appeal on the
ground that neither the republican nor
democratic party has tariff platform
that promises anything advantageous
to the producer. The Colonel took the
ground that it is time the south broke
away from the old theory that right
or wrong, it must adhere to the demo-
cratic party. He argued that the
South, by joining the Progressive par
ty, would make the first step in as
serting itself in the affairs of the ma
tion at large.
Last night Colonel Roosevelt pass
ed through Mississippi. He holds no
! false hopes that that state may be
changed in a short campaign, but he
| does have prospects in Tennessee,
| while Louisiana is rated as a state
| where Progressive party principles
may find fertile ground.
| The Bull Moose candidate reached
| New Orleans shortly before noon to.
day. He was given cordial reception
in the Mardi Gras city and was put
at the head of great automobile pa
rade through the crowd lined streets
of the city. The Colonel was offered
either a private or a public luncheon
and he chose the former. Mr.. Roose-
velt and his party will leave tonight
| for Alabama and Georgia. On Monday
the Colonel will double back into
Tennessee for that faction-ridden
state he considers offers unusual op
portunities for the Progressive party
