IL Huey P. Long, and his fond
ness seeks expression in superb
showmanShip.
Through the streets of New Or

cities, he has led the 100-piece
Louisiana State university band
-strutting with all the pomp of a
drum major. He leads the band
upon the football fields.
Not long ago, after leading the
band through New Orleans, he
went from boy to boy and peeled
off bills, from his immense Wad,
as a token of his enthusiasm for
music in general and their play
ing in particular.
Long never moves without at
least two bodyguards. Sometimes,
when he fares abroad, they are
as thick as a cloud about him.
All are paid with tax money of
the people.
About the broad lawn of his
famous house in New Orleans,
there is always a large force of
watchmen and guards. These,
too. are paid by the state.

such enthusiastic expression in his

Primaries taking place in seven
states today will determine some
of the most colorful contests of
this year.
Louisiana is at the polls to
choose between candidates backed
by Huey Long and Mayor T.
Semmes Walmsley of New Orleans.
Armies have been mustered by
both sides during the campaign.
Candidates for the house of rep
resentatives and for local offices
are being chosen.
Next in interest is Colorado's
primary where Miss Josephine
Roche, literal operator of the Sec
ond largest coal mine in the state,
is trying to take the Democratic
nomination for Governor from the
incumbent, Edwin G. Johnson.
Both candidates say they support
the New Deal but Miss Roche has
the backing of Senator Edward P.
Costigan.
She charges that her opponent
has failed to cooperate with
Roosevelt agencies and that the
state has suffered as a result.

to borrow Sl25 for his filing fees
when he ran for public service
commissioner in the dawn of his
political career.
When he was elected Governor,
he was in debt and his home in
Shreveport was mortgaged.
CEYMOUR WEISS, assistant
- manager of the barber shop in
a leading New Orleans hotel,
whom Huey Long made his dock
board president, had abundant OPP
portunity to observe what the we'll
dressed gentleman wears. The
gaudiness which Long affected
during the early weeks of his gov
ernship gave Weiss the shivers.
He took Longs sartorial soul in
hand. you've got to dress like a
gentleman" he said.
So off came the diamond pin,
as large as a hefty mans thumb.
OFF came the loud clothes. 1t
rained striped silk shirts for forty
days and forty nights on the help
at the Roosevelt hotel, where Long
maintained and still maintains a
suite of rooms.
Longs clothes now are conserva-
tive in cut and style, but of the
finest material, and he recently
pitted the inspiration of Seymour
Weiss against j. Hamilton Lewis,
and almost vanquished the man
who for years has been acclaimed
the best dressed man in the United
States state.

He Plays a DaShing Game

MIR. HOGATE is widely known as the savior OF
1V1 bean bag on account of his humane innova-
tionS which include the substitution of the phleg-
matte navy bean for the vicious lively bean or
jumping bean, imported from Mexico. He also was
the first man to show up in the Outfeld of bean
bag contest wearing catchers mask and tin hat.
He plays a daShing game himself, often taking
desperate chances on serious injury even death,
when line drives are SOcked in his direction with all
all the force of a petal blown by a moderate
Southerly breeze. Mr. Hogate modestly minimzes
his own daring, however. He often has told inter-
viewers from the sport pages that with his mask and
tin hat he is amply protected from harm.
The only other known member of the Pawling
BloOmer boys is Mr.. Prosper Buranel father of the
crossword puzzle, who invented the position of out
f1elder's backstop. He has concentrated the
subtle speciality throughout his bean-bag career.
The OutfielderS backstop picks up bean-bags which
get away from the outielder and hands them to him
to be thrown back. The risks of this position
less dangerous than those to which the outheder,
himself, constantly is exposed. Therefore the back
stop wears nothing but pair of shin guards and
catcher's mitt

supporter.
In the state of Washington SEN
ator Homer T. Bone and retiring
Senator G. c. Dill are backing diff
ferent candidates for the Demo-

him. Five candidates also are en-
tered in the Republican senatorial
primary.
Michigan, New Hampshire and
Vermont are holding primaries to-
day. In the first state, Senator

is seeking nomination as senator,
opposed by former representative
John Philip Hall and another can

to replace him.
South Carolina holds a run-of
primary tomorrow to select a Dem

Gene Karst has played an important
part in the lives Of Dizzy and Daffy

He has gathered information on them,
kept notes on DiZZy's amazing actions,
hammered his fingers down pounding

world series, or how they combed
their hair, or where they were on Au-
