TIDE RISING AGAINST HUEY
est. Petersburg independent


Is Huey Long near the end of his rope
in Louisiana? His effigy hanging on a
rope in the courthouse square of Hammond,
La, may be symbolic. The tempestuous
opposition his hirelings met in the country
towns in their effort to set up the election
machinery yesterday is significant sign
that the tide is turning against the king
fish. Heretofore. his spell-binding has
consistently won him votes in the rural par
ishes. If he is losing that support, his end
Is at hand.
Yesterdays infamous election in Lou
isiana should disillusion the last man who
has held any faith in this ruthless politi-
cal power And yet it is difficult to under
stand why even Huey Long, while under
fire in the senatorial investigation in New
Orleans, could have had the audacity to
try to put across such political steal at
this time. 1t was an obvious unabashed
attempt to flatten out opposition with his
steam roller. just week ago yesterday,
the sixth district Democratic committee,
under the thumb of Long, met and nominat-.
ed its candidate, Mrs. Boliver Kemp. To
the surprise of the rest of Louisiana the
, election date was set for week later, the
primary being cancelled, and the ballots
printed with the single Long candidate on
them. In principle, the recent one-sided.
Hitler election was no worse than this It
was evidently steal to be rammed down
the peoples throat in the manner that Sem
ator Long has been accustomed to using.
1t capped the climax of a series Of strong
arm elections that had sent himself and
Senator 0verton to the senate and nuner-
Gus other politicians to lesser lucrative Of
fices.
The violence in yesterdays election
was the natural outcome of this discredit-
able procedure, and the blame rests square
" on the shoulders of Senator Long and his
henchnen. Like drunken grafters they
have openly manipulated the election ma
chinery, and even the dullest of voters
ought now to be able to see it. The diff
ficulty, of course. in getting rid of such
leeches lies in the fact that they do con-
troll the election machinery The testimony
at the senatorial investigation in New Or
Leans proved that All the old tricks of
the calendar were employed-the use of
dummy candidates, ballot box stuffing,
padding of the registration lists, destruc-
ton of ballots, gun.play at the polls, etc.
Even Senator Connally, chairman of the
senate probers, and accused of being
Long man, was natiseated at the testimony,
and yesterday denounced election prac-
tices in an interview in Texas. Il also
heartily condemn he stated, ''the assess
Inent Of state and city employees and deduc-
tions from their salaries for political and
campaign parposes.'
What Louisiana needs in order to top
pie Huey Long off his throne is general
onslaught, such as that administered to
Tafnfnany Hall last month. In the face
Of such nm uprising, crooked election ma
nipulators will be smashed. Perhaps
Louisiana is beginning to wake up to the
need for just that.

DEMOCRACY is WORKING

president EMERITUS LOWELL OF Har-
l. ward university has something useful to
say in the never ending debate on the al
legged breakdown of American democracy.
Writing in the current issue of Foreign At
fairs he points out that the collapse has come
in the private business system rather than in
government.
Have not some managers Of large COM
mercial companies made profits by inside
knowledge and manipulation that might have
accrued to the stockholders" he asks. "1s
there no favoritism in appointments and con-
tracts of the kind that in politics is called
graft2
I'm short, is the fduciary obligation of pub
lie officials to the citizens different in kind or
degree from that Of officers Of companies to
their stockholders? 1t is difficult to prevent
politicians from making a profit, directly or
indirectly for themselves or their friends, out
of their positions, when some men prominent
in business do likewise uncensured and uncon-
demned. Nor can we fairly attribute to de-
mocracy evils tolerated in commercial life"
The success of any system depends in the
long run on its honesty and efficiency. The
serious problems with which American de-
mocracy is struggling today were created for
the most part by the dishonesty and inefd-
cheney in commercial life, certainly not by
dishonesty and ineficiency of the federal
government. After private business during
several years of depression failed in the SAL
wage operation, it turned to the government
for help. The government is now aiding and
leading business out of the depression.
Whatever the future may hold, the expert
ment of political democracy in economic &C
ton is a record to date of proud achievement.
Such weaknesses as have appeared arise
from the refusal of business minority to CO.
operate rather than from any failure Of de-
mocracy.

CWA MIGHT CONTINUE

TNHE tremendous program OF the CIVIL WORKS
Il administration began as a sort of i'm
provisation-a happy thought, put into execu-
ton almost on the spur of the moment, to
take as many Americans as possible off relief
rolls and provide regular incomes for families
that needed them.
Before we get through with it, it may de-
yelop easily into an elaborate and permanent
setup designed to take the place Of unemploy-
ment insurance and to cushion the nation
against the shocks caused by sudden contrac-
tons of the industrial system.
All this is foreshadowed in recent state
ment by Harry M. Hopkins, director Of the
CWA
Mr.. Hopkins points out that the expert
ment officially runs only to Feb. Is. Under
it some 100000 men are at work. Probably
no one would propose seriously that the props
be pulled out from under these men in the
middle of the winter.
Sheer force of circumstances will compel
us to renew the experiment and carry it at
least into the spring.
Nor is that all. Mr.. Hopkins remarks:
TT easily might lead to a scheme of using
civil works as a device for permanently pro-
viding work on important public projects for
the unemployed. The country is not going
to be disposed kindly to unemployment inSur-
ance in terms of men going up to a window
to get DOLE"
And there is still another angle to 1t. The
scheme enables the nation to accomplish a
lot of jobs which are almost certain to go
undone if left to private initiative.
The work of the forest army is a case in
point There are many similar projectS-the
drainage of swampS, the establishment of
health and recreation centers, and so on.
Now it is pretty clear that we are going
to need some far-reaching program to take
care Of unemployment even after prosperity
returns. We either can give the jobless work
to do, set up a regular unemployment in
surance system-a dole, in plain English-or
go back to the old, unsatisfactory method of
letting private charity take care of them.
one of these three is going to be with us
more or less permanently. Doesn't the civil
works scheme look very much like the best
of the three alternatives?

: THE INDIANAPOLIS TINES
HOPEEUL SIGNS

COLONEL LEONARD p. AYRES Of the
~ Cleveland Trust Company complains that
our recovery program can not be permanently
effective until some means of reviving the
capital goods" industries is found; and ST.
multaneously come reports that at least few
of these industries already are beginning to
feel very definite revival.
The steel industry. for example, looks for
ward to a very busy first quarter period in
1934-due in part TO the governments success
in putting over a deal for purchase of new
rails by the railroads.
Other reports state that orders for about
$1,000 freight cars are about to be replaced
In all Of 1882 only 1,739 were rebuilt; the total
for 1888 will be around $500. Similarly, the
railway locomotive manufacturers expect that
between $50 and 200 new locomotives will be
ordered this winter.
Evidently the capital goods revival that
Colonel Ayres yearns for already is getting I'M
der way.

ENCOURAGING BAROMETER

EIGURES on shipping through the Sault
- Ste. Marie canal during the last year pro-
vide new evidence that business is recovering.
This canal, connecting Lake Superior with
the lower lakes, is closed fer the season now.
And it is revealed that during 1888 more traf-
fc passed through it than in any of the last
three years-a total to be exact of slightly
more than 100000 tons of freight.
An interesting angle to this is the fact that
nearly all this freight consisted of bulk COM
modities-iron ore coal and grain.
The business done at the 800" canal is
pretty fair barometer of general business con-
ditions. On the basis of 1888 figures, we are
justified in believing that the long awaited
upturn is getting under way

NEW YORK GETS BRAINS"

EIORELLO LA GUARDIA, mayor-elect of
New York. seems to be another of those
people who cherish the odd notion that an
official position can be given properly to a
man who is distinguished by his possession of
brains rather than by his services in carrying
this or that district for the party.
BY appointing Professor A. A. Berle to an
important city Office, the mayor elect indicates
that a brains trust" can function in NUM-
cipal politics as well as at Washington.
Similarly, he puts his public welfare de-
partment in the hands of trained social
worker, and takes a leader in the Seabury
investigation into his official legal staff
New York used to Tammany methods
in its city government well can find some
thing very startling in these appointments
Apparently the nations largest city is in for
something pretty sweeping in the way of a
new deal.
