 Louisiana Interested in TariR
 Public Service Commissioner Le- Blanc also expressed his gratitude at being given the opportunity of ad- dressing the working people of this city in the interests of Governor smith.
 We come from a state that is 1 just as interested in the tariff as is he said. Down in Louisiana we live in the section where rice and sugar is produced md these products need protection ust the same as your manufactures To here in New Britain. If I bought that Governor Smith was lot in favor of protection, I would lever raise my voice in his behalf. t is with the assurance that, as the thief executive of the great state of New York four times where business 5 greatest, Governor Smith has al- ways acted for the best interests of business, that I gladly travel the niles that separate Louisiana and to plead for the election # the man who is the greatest friend n the country of the workingman.
 "What has Herbert Hoover ever lone for the wOrkingman? "On he other hand. Governor Smith ad- 'ocated and had passed the great measure for labor. the workingman's compensation act which provides im- mediate and satisfactory protection or any man or woman injured while t work"
 Continuing, he stated that labor as no better friend than Governor mith ofNew York and for that req on. he could be relied upon to have he betterment of the Iaboring lasses as his first consideration 7hen he becomes president.
 He ended with 8 plea for the elec- ion of Governor Smith for the bet erment of the country and for the etterment of its people.
