white-haired former Baptist Sunday

overcome with grief.
Some Of Longs allies feared a
new uprising by the Square Deal
Association, similar to that of jan
uary, when they massed for armed
drill at the Baton Rouge airport in
defiance of 1900 National Guards
men Long had assembled to sup
press them.
Square Deal spokesman claim
$4,000 followers in the state, ready
to fight and die for the cause. which
is: Destroy the dictatorship" Their
leaders insist they are militant, not
political body, that they have
plenty of guns. They have been
holding open meetings all over the
state but doing it quietly - too
quietly, some persons feel.
Regardless of what the Square
Dealers do, & bloodless upheaval is
certain. A dozen anti-Long factions
are ready to swoop into mad
scramble for state Offices in 1886.
They are bound to capture many
prizes from the impotent admins
tration Long left IN power.
Campaign to Open Soon
The campaign will start in few
weeks. Forward, stronger than ever,
will come:
l. The John Parker-Col. John P
Sullivan group in New Orleans,
basking in the favor of the ROose-
welt Administration and armed with
the Federal patronage that was
taken from Long.
2. The old regulars of New Or
leans, who battled Longs dictator
ship for years and surrendered tC
him only two months ago to save
the city from starvation after Long
stopped it's revenues by acts of his
legislature.
3. Edward Rightor and his Honest
Election League, which helped prose-
cute Longs forces through two Sen
ate Investigations.
a. Mayor T. S. Walmsley of New
Orleans and his friends, split from
the old regulars, but standing their
ground to the end, even after Long
stripped the mayor of everything but
his title and office furniture.
5. Francis Williams and his jack
son Democratic clubs, among the
loudest if not the strongest CT anti
Long forces.
6. The five Louisiana congress-
men: Sanders, Sandlin, Dear, Mon
tet and Wilson, who pooled their re-
sources and threatened to split the
Democratic party in Louisiana
against Long.
7. The Womens Committee of
Louisiana, led by Mrs. Hilda Phelps
Hammond, whose members sacri-
feed their family heirloomS at auc-
ton sales to raise money for inveSti-
cations of Longs dictatorship.
One Man Movement
Many idealiSts will seek to per-
petuate his movement, but Long S
movement was centered around his
personality. There is no other Huey
Long in the state. Neither is there
one like him in the nation.
Last fall when he inaugurated his
series of special sessions to estab-
lish his powerful political dictator
ship, foes said on the floor of the
House that it would lead to blood
shed. Since that time three men
have died as the result of political
factionalism in the state, including
Long and Dr. Weiss. One National
Guardsman died of accidental
wounds while guarding the state
Capitol while martial law was de-
clared. Another man was seriously
wounded in skirmish between
guardSmen and enraged citizens.
