BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, July 25.-United
States Senator Edwin S. Broussard
charged today that Huey P. Long was
violating the law by serving as Gov
ernor and that he was the worst Gov
ernor Louisiana ever had.
The Senator declared when Gov.
Long filed his credentials OF cleo
ton with the United States Senate he
became a Senator on last March 4 and
forfeited his right to serve as Gov
ernor. He also charged Gov. Long was
not content to be Governor, Senator
and a member of the State and DEM
ocratic National Committees at the
same time, but was attempting to name
a slate of State officers TO be dominated
by him.
The Senator's statement, issued from
his home at New Iberia, was regarded
by political observers as the FIRST open
and definite split between Senator
BrouSsard and Gov. Long.
Calls Service Worst.
I'VE find him doing worse than has
ever been done by any predecessor"
said the Senator's statement. And
all the power and influence vested in
q Governor Tor the PUBIC SoOo ILLS

States Senate prior to March 4, 1881,
and consequently became a United
States Senator on March 4, 1881, In
violation of the State constitution OF
Louisiana, providing that he cannot be
Governor and Senator at tie same time,
he persists In illegally discharging the
duties of Governor.

the Governorship. but he Is now con-
spring to elect a State ticket that will
be controlled by him by wire from
Washington. if elected. He insists he
must have State officials for the next
four years who are his tools. The
peoples free expression of this matter
he thinks must be controlled by pat
ronage and waste of public funds"
The Senator concluded by asking the
voters to vote against the Long-in-
dorsed candidates.
From the new Governors mansion
at Baton Rouge, Gov. Long said
he was not in politics at this time as
he was too busy getting over his $780,

THE venerable Wild West thriller
returns to the screen in an ar

Laid against the novel background
of one of those mesquite emporiums
where atmosphere is served up
steaming, the picture unfolds like
q recurrent dream Of a William 8.

miliar ranch house is equipped, as
Mr.. Lucius Beebe would say, with
hot and cold running buffers, that
the villains are modern gangsters,
and the hero only q hired bad

Beginning as a palpable burlesque
Of the "mellerdrammy," the film
promptly works itself into that very
class. A dude ranch owner hires
a troupe of wandering and hungry
Thespians to emulate the bold, bad
characters of Western fable. His
bored Eastern clients, who previous
" had threatened to 60 of in a
high huff-a high huff with free

by the pretended villainies Of the
troupers.
The natural and expected COM
plications follow, when some truly
black hearted tough mugs invade
the plains, rob the nearby bank, cast
the shadow of blame across the in
nocent figures OF Jack Oakie, who
plays the pretended killer, and his
friends, and plunge the entire cast
into a maelstrom of melodramatic
events
The mistaken arrest of the hero,
kidnapping of the heroine and her
appropriate rescue follow, with a
precision very gratifying to ones
anticipations. The incidents of the
plot include q oss-country auto

somewhat more amusing and de-
