NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 12-
~ The year was 1923. Huey P.
Long, in his early thirties, from
the red hills of North Louisiana,
had been elected Governor, and
had been in office only few
months.
Robert Ewing, old-time political
fighter, who knew all the tricks Of
the business and who, like Mae
West, thought that some things
amt no sin, was talking to the
youth whom he and he alone had
made Governor of Louisiana.
The big man slammed the desk
with his fist. You CIT do it,
Huey, you can't do it! I tell you,
you can go so far and no farther.
You can't juggle state funds.
The way you want to operate
is unconstitutional You can't vio-
late state laws and get away with
it."
What Huey p. Long said was
this: The hell l can't I'll
have YOU know that I've been
elected by the people of this state,
and that now I'm the Constitu-
toni"
The door closed behind him.
Robert Ewing had pointed the way
out.
Louisiana never before saw such
a decapitation as followed. Trained
officials, trained advisers followed
Robert Ewing into political
oblivion as far as Louisiana was
concerned.
Il am the Constitution, said
Huey. This also meant Il am the
boss and there amt going to be
no other kind of bosses"
TTUEY p. LONGS new crew,
Il l. carefully picked, we're men
who never had had any expert
ence in working on the good old
ship of state.
Governor Long saw great bond
issues ahead for highway develop
ment in Louisiana. So he went
back to his home town of VIM
field, and picked a country mer-
chant to head his highway de-
partment.
The man he selected was o. K.
Allen. later picked by Long to be
Governor of Louisiana.
And so, in every department,
from chief cook to bottle washer,
Long picked men who never had
had any previous experience in
statecraft, but who were subservi-
ent to him.
For several years, he has been
running his own newspaper. 1t
has no advertising-eXcept Huey
Long advertising. He smashes
into man after man, issue after
issue. in huge headlines.
The articles in the paper are as
full of errors as a colander is of

CORN REDUCTION TOPIC
AT CONFERENCE HERE
Midwest Experts Discuss 1885 Quotas
With AAA Officials.

Reduction of corn acreage and
hog raising in 1885 was discussed
and approval of the drawing up of
new corn-hog contracts under the
agriculture adjustment act was
made today by 100 farm leaders from
six states at regional conference
with government officials in the
Claypool.
The meeting closed with de-
cision to call township and COM
munity meetings in October to take
a referendum vote of farmers and
find out exactly what they desired
in the way of changes in corn-hog
contracts, as we'll as acreage and
raising quotas for the coming year.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-London, snug in the fact that it has been select 1 ed as the site of the wedding Of Prince George and Princess Marina, is anticipating a little season. of record brilliance.
 Even before it had been decided that the royal pair would exchange vows in Westminster Abbey on November 29, the hotel and enter tainment world began laying plans for the round of festivals that will make up the royal wedding week.
 Caterers, dressmakers, tailors, florists and jewellers got busy in a way that was reminiscent of the royal courts in spring.
 Princess Marina, the bride-to- be, is brunette whose straight, slim figure makes her appear tall CT than her five feet eight inches. i Her father has had none too certain income and her education has included such tasks as manag- ing a household, making beds and | cooking. But she is fluent in six languages, including English.
 Life has held few iced cakes for her. an intimate said, except those she has made for herself" l The groom -to-be is a skilled pi- anist but a a music-lover presents the curious paradox of one who finds interest in classical music but has also a strong liking for jazz It is said that several orches- tra leaders, at his request, search America for new tunes to bring to him.
 The only one of King Georges $ sons not royal duke, Prince George may receive a dukedom as a wedding gift. On one thing he is certain; his allowance of $5000O as a bachelor will jump automati- cally when he's married to SIPS, 900 a year.

31, and Princess Marina, 27 may celebrate their birthdays a week apart instead of separate months.
 When their bethrothal was first announced, the princess birth day was announced as November 80. This, however, was the date under the old Julian calendar, which the Greek church abandon ed in 1923
 The difference between the old style and the usual calendar is 13 days so, her birthday falls on De- cember 13, an even week before Prince Georges.

NEED O
OF
BOOTlEGGER

Washington-Joseph H. Chcate,
Jr., looking back on the reborn
liquor industry's first half year
under government supervision, found
the crying need to be social ost-
racism of the bootlegger.
1.-THE greatest weapon against
him is public opinion" said the
director of the alcohol control ad-
ministration.
During prohibition people
thought that in buying liquor they
we're sustaining a man who was
fighting a law they thought tyran-
nical-now that is all out. 1t
takes public opinion some time to
grow, and if public opinion once
gets around to the point where a
mans friends frown on him for
buying from the bootlegger, we
shall get On fast.
Il think we should mobilize the
profit motive of the legitimate in
dustty against the Legitimate.
Insead of doing anything to drive
a Legitimate man out of business
and make it hard for him, l think
we should encourage him, because
he will give the service that the
bootlegger lives by doing.
He will have a direct personal
interest in finding the b~ootlegger
and getting him Suppressed by the
authorities and he will have a di-
rect personal interest in getting his
prices down and his quality up so
as to beat the bootlegger."
