In a statement which he gave to the

Il find it to be the general impress
sion in Washington that my election
in the third district of Louisiana was
due solely to a desire on the part OF
our people to show their resentment
at the treatment accorded them by this
administration. We do resent the
fact that this administration, though
pledged by it's platform not to so re-
duce the tariff as to injure or destroy
any legitimate industry, has, notwith-
standing it's pledge, sought the de-
struction of our greatest industry by
entirely removing the duty upon sugar,
and has threatened the existence OF
our other industries by materially re-
ducing the duty upon rice, corn and
lumber.
