Hon. Robert HI. Elder of New York
Speaks at the Progressive Rally


Hon. Robert H. Elder of New York,
former district attorney of Brooklyn,
was the speaker of the evening Mon
day at the Progressive rally held in
Market square, and talking upon polit-
ical issues of the State and nation he
addressed an appreciative audience.
The principles of the Progressive par
ty made up the theme of his talk and
the advantages which these princi-
pies have over the principles upon
which the other parties are founded
he thoroughly explained.
He congratulated the people of the
State that they have the initiative
and the referendum but he stated that
they need something else, the recall.
He attacked the Governor and his
manner of enforcing the prohibitory
law. He criticized Gov. Haines for ve-
toing the mileage bill, stating that this
executive officer had been influenced
by representatives of the railroad
company in making this move. He al

so criticised Congressman Peters for
his vote upon a number of bills before
Congress, including the workingmen's
compensation bill and the reform in
ballot bill, And he stated that the
Democrats ARE as bad as the Repub-
licans."
He then turned the attention of his
audience to the tariff, and claimed
that ever since 1924 this question had
been a great question in the country
because we never had good tariff
law. The tariff laws, he said, have not
been scientific, but have been rather
hodge podge. And he advocated that
the desire of the Progressives be given
trial in appointing a commission OF
men of science, who will investigate
conditions and make a scientific tar
iff law.
In closing he urged all present to
vote the Progressive ticket, stating
that the vote will not be wasted even
If no man on the ticket is elected.

The close time on ducks expired at
5.22 this morning, the hour OF sunrise,
and from now until the close season
comes again the wild ducks of this Sec

peeled, so to speak, for lurking hunt
ers. Augusta duck hunters and others
in this vicinity are making plans to
take a day or two off at the bay and
