Hon. J. W. Elder:
Last week asked you three
Guesti0ns concerning a matter in

vou and ask for direct answers
to these questions, as they con-
ccra the public and your position
on public matters.
lst. Why did you just before
he last primary unfairly circu
late only broken parts Of a
speech of mine delivered De-
cember %, 1911, and did not
fairly quote from that speech
my high esteem of Gov. Hall
and DR.. AsWell?
End. For what purpose do you
print Gov. Halls name on your
campaign letters?
3rd. Does Gov. Hall know Of,
and sanction your using his
name on your campaign Iitera-
ture?
All. Why, as State Senator, did.
you vote for the Marks Bill,
which was denounced all o. er
the State during the last cam
paign by Gov. Hall, and which
took the choice of school super
intendents out of the hands of
the people?
5th. Why, as a. State Senator,
did you vote against the known
wishes of your constituents of
Lincoln Parish for United
States Senator?
6tn If you believe in a rule of

known wishes Of your constit-
uents in Morehouse and West
Carroll Parishes on the bill to
move the domicile of the Ten
sas Basin Levee Board from
Monroe to Rayville?
9TH. If you believe in the refer
endm and direct nomination

Der 9Th, 1910, vote against SEN
ator John Marks resolution to
refer the election of a United
States Senator to the people?
9Th. If you are q progressive as
you claim to be, then why did
you, as a State Senator, vote
for Senator Thornton who is
not only a seactionary, but a
defender Of Senator Lorimer?
9th. is not the tariff plank Of
your platform cut of harmony
with the tariff plank of the
National Democratic platform?
10Th. - Have YOU not been to
Baton Rouge in company with
a lot Of Michel men attempt
Ing to interfere in the affairs
Of the Fifth District Levee
Board?
18th. Did you not on the 18th of
January, 1911 denounce the
good government people in the
Ruston Leader of that date as
''howlers, squeelers, and
squawlers who, did not mean
all they s;sid,'' and why are
you now posing as a good
government man?

Sycamore Sociological
Conference, Thursday.
Alfred W. Mccain Scores Dis
honest Advertisements.
Says Day Is Coming When There
Will Be Certified "Ads."

Sycamore Beach, Mass, June ~
I'VE have certified milk and certified
checks. The day of the certified adj
is at hand said Alfred w. Mccain,
of New York in discussing Publicity
and Public Welfare" the principal
topic for consideration at today's SEES
conference. Mr.. Mccain scored dis
honest advertisements and said:
Advertising, TO attain its noblest
possibilities. must begin with con-
science. Happily, advertising men are
beginning to realize the abuses to
which their profession has been sub
jected and are beginning hte reform
from the inside, but the reform will
be successful only to the extent to
which the manufacturer lends his CO.
operation.
Other speakers were George French
of Boston, Livy s. Richard of Boston,
and William c. Freeman of New
York
Advertising is steadily growing
better in every sense said Mr..
French. THAT. which most striking
~ marks its growth, is the fact that
its power to reach and influence peo-
pie for other purposes than trade is
being recognized and applied Adver-
Using might be employed more gener-
ally and more wisely in promoting all
OF the forward movements that are
making for the amelioration and up
lift of humanity"
Mr.. Richard advocated the public
newspaper, supported by taxation
free TO all, and always subject te
public control in the public interest.
Publicity in these days. said Mr.
Freeman, lis the connecting link be
| tween the Individual and progress, be.
| tween the corporation and the pub
lies complete understanding of it'
purposes, between the community anc
| it's general welfare. =
A discussion of matters growing on
| of the Lawrence textile strike wa.
