Senator Robinson Speaks to Large Crowd
Last Saturday afternoon Senator E. B. Robinson addressed a large crowd of citizens of this community. Mr. J. D. Caldwell tendered the use of the Palace Theatre for the occasion, and the house was almost filled to capacity.
Senator Robinson explained in a very plain way the procedure and the final action in the recent attempt to impeach Governor Huey P. Long. He told of the charges brought against the governor, of the action during the taking of testimony before the members of the legislature and of final action of the senate when that body of good citizens was accused of signing the “round robins” as some of the opposing side claimed it was.
The talk of Senator Robinson was highly appreciated by every one who heard it, and all were better satisfied after hearing for themselves the actual happening at Baton Rouge.
