, cal factions are ready to swoop into @ mad scramble for state offices in 1936. They are bound to capture many prizes from the i'm potent administration Long left in power. ...t- The campaigns will start in a 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:
 9. The old regulars of New Orleans. who battled Long's dic- tatorship for years and surrender ed to him only two months ago to save the city from starvation after Long stopped its revenues by acts of his legislature;
 8. Edward Rightor and his honest election league, which helped prosecute Long's forces through two senate investigations;
 4. Mayor T. s. Walmsley of New Orleans his friends, split from the old regulars but stand ing their ground to the end, even after Long stripped the mayor of everything but his title and office furni.ure;
 ' 5. Francis Williams and his Jackson democratic clubs, among the :oudest if not the strongest of anti-Long forces;
 6. The five Louisiana congress- men: Sanders, Sandlin, Dear, Mon tet and Wilson, who pooled their resources and threatened to split the democratic party in Louisiana against Long;
 2. The women's committee of Louisiana, led by Mrs. Hilda Phelps Hammond, whose members sacrificed their family heirlooms at auction sales to raise money for investigations of Long's dictator ship.
 Long Was the Boss
 Long was more than the dom- ineering head of a political ma- chine. He was the boss, the brains, the ideal for which it stood. The men he placed in state office were generally figureheads. Their stand ard was loyalty mot to a party, but to Long personally. Whether Long changed his policies over- night, whether he turned repub- ]ican, socialist or communist, it would not matter to them. They would turn, too. And Long did change his ideas so unexpectedly that tactless state officials, trying to speak for, him during his ab- sences from Louisiana, soon learn ed they could never with impunity issue statement without consult ing him directly.
 This accounted for the unofficial censorship over state affairs when Long was away in congress.
 It was no secret that the gov- ernor and other state officials often "issued" proclamations they never saw. Some were of vital im- portance to the state and they emanated from Longs New Or leans hotel rooms in the middle of the night while the governor slept in his mansion at Baton Rouge. Copies went to all newspapers, with no effort to conceal their place of origin.
 Gov. Allen remained always pas- sively silent. Politics or economics, or any moot topic on which Long could possibly have an opposite view, he would never discuss.

(COntinued from Page I.) pers gather on market day, from some of the wheat states piled high on the country beyond the Missis- sippi the senator heard call-or thought he did.
 The kingf1sh and his sound trucks were going to those places next year. The keenest observers of American politics did not expect Huey Long to make his presidential bid next year. He spoke of it often enough in his bragging, threatening way. But the senator's plans appeared to be pointed for 1936 toward a pass- age at politics with some of the brigade commanders of new deal strategy rather than with MT. Roosevelt.
 Guerilla Warfare
 He judged, and many astute ob- servers considered his judgment correct, that 1936 was A year for guerilla warfare off share our wealth" raiders on new deal out posts. Therefore he made his en- agreements. First with Senator Jo- seph T. Robinson, New Deal leader
 
 of the senate.
 Robinson is candidate for re- election in Arkansas where the kingf1sh and his sound trucks upset state politics in 1892 by keeping Mrs. Hattie w. Caraway in the sen- ate against a field of candidates whose local prominence should and did make the lady statesman's pros- poets utterly hopeless until Long rolled into the fight with his sound truck for six brief days of speak ing.
 Long promised to defeat Robin son next year and none was sure he would fail. After the senate leader came Senator Pat Harrison of Mis- sissippi, like Robinson candidate next year.
 "I'll be there, Pat" was the Louisianan's promise.
 Vital Point in Career
 The Caraway campaign was a vital thing in Long's carer. It was an outstanding success. Half a dozen Arkansans, including form- CT national commander of the

 Baton Rouge. La, Sept. 10.- (UP)-I stood in the corridor out side Senator Longs room while he was dying. For time the door was open and l saw him during his last few living moments.
 Two nurses and a nun in black with arching white headdress moved about the room. Two physi- clans were at the bedside.
 Long lay motionless on the bed. He was enclosed in an oxygen compartment with transparent sides. His breathing was labored. His eyes stared straight toward the ceiling.
 Outside the door were three empty tanks of oxygen, evidence of the fight that had been made. Another tank stood near the bed. Lfe-giving oxygen gushed into the canopy.
 No Other Writers There
 No other newspapermen were permitted to get so close to the room. They stood downstairs where also Long's bodyguard, men of ac-

American Legion and others of power in party politics, considered themselves available to fill the job Long held by the late Thaddeus Caraway and to which his widow had been appointed partly for sem timental reasons but largely for political purposes.
 Arkansas party leaders were not ready for a senate contest when Thaddeus Caraway died. So Mrs. Caraway came to Washington with the distinct understanding among those who sent her that she would not stay. She was not a party to that understanding. When Long en- tered the Arkansas campaign she was trailing the field but on elec- ton day she was up front, not by a plurality over her next highest op- pOnent but by clean majority over the combined votes of all of them.
 Saw His Power Grow
 That campaign convinced Long that his political power would ex- tend beyond the borders of Arkan- sas, make him at least unique leader with a bloc of states instead of only one and, perhaps-later- put him in the White House. More than that, the Caraway campaign frightened southern politicians. From 1892 onward they spent much time wondering where Long would strike next and hoping it would not be in their vicinity.
 Some senatorial golf scores gain- ed as much as 10 strokes at no small gain to friendly, betting com- petitors simply because anxiety over the kingfish would not per- init statesmen to sleep well at nights nor to concentrate on their back swing. And that is no exag- geration.

 Paris, September 10 - UP) -
 French comment on the death of
 Senator Huey Long emphasized that with him, President Franklin D.. Roosevelt's most formidable electoral rival was removed. News papers filed many columns with
 reports of his fight for life. Surgeons and nurses of the starr of the American hospital In the suburb of Neuilly recalled Longs assassin, Dr. Carl Austin Weiss, Jr., as a studious interne in 1929 and 1880. It was in Paris that he met his wife, the then Louise Paw, who was studying at the Sorbonne. It was noted that Weiss was remem- bered as a tennis player of merit, and a man apparently with no in- terest in politics. .f. 4 Mexicans Satisfied
 Mexico City. September lO (UP) - Mexican workers express satisfaction over the apparent elimination of Huey Long, Fascist dictator of Louisiana, from the po- litical terrain of that state,"' Robert Gomez, representative of the work ers' and peasants organization in northern Mexican states. said today in a statement.
 "Long had all the characteristics of our state dictators, who operated
 by force," said Gomez. T hope that now the workers of Louisiana will see removed the threat of inn plantation of a Fascist dictatorship of the Hitler Mussolini type. ana see that fortunately this chief ms disappeared from the United States political scene"

INQUEST NOT YET ENDED ON BODY
 OF DR. WEISS
Thousands of Persons At- tended Funeral, Many
 of Them Prominent

Baton Rouge, La., Sept. 10- (UP)Inquest into the fatal shoot ing of Dr. Carl Austin Weiss by guards of Sen. Huey P. Long will be resumed at Up. m. (CST) today with testimony of additional per- sons who saw the young physician shoot Senator Long.
 Thousands of persons stood in Roselawn cemetery in a driving rain to see him buried and in the van were outstanding anti-Long leaders-including Rep. J. Y. San- ders, Jr., former Gov. John M Parker, and many leaders of the militantly anti-Long Square Deal association.
 Among dozens of floral wreaths banked over the coffin was one bearing a card from Friends of the Democratic Party of Tender son, N. C."
 Bhief Ceremony
 Except for the brief ceremony over the rain-swept grave, Weiss family kept his funeral as private as possible. Only his close rela- lives saw his bullet-riddled body. His young wife, who Is left with a 3-months-old baby, watched his burial with expressionless face, though she showed signs of recent emotion.
 Dr. F. o. Paw. Weiss uncle, said he spoke for the, entire family in wishing Senator Longs recov- cry.
 There is only one answer to CarIs action" he said. His mind was temporarily unhinged by breeding over the suppressive form of government he felt existed in Louisiana. ..
 Lived for Humanity
 "He was an intense and earnest lad, and lived for humanity. He was distressed over conditions in Louisiana. He never talked much about 1t, and he certainly never confided to any member of his family any plot to shoot Senator Long,"
 A prominent Baton Rouge sur geon, who asked anonymity, re- counted an incident which corrob- orated Dr. Pavy's theory.
 Several of us were sitting around one afternoon recently in the ampitheater of a local hospital talking" he said. "Dr. Weiss was sitting on the operating table. The talk veered to politics.
 Several of the doctors banned Senator Long. The conversation be- came heated.
 Suddenly looked across at Dr. Weiss. He had said nothing, but tears were coursing down his cheeks. He got up from the table and walked out of the room, never saying a word. I firmly believe he brooded because he thought Sem ator Long's dictatorship of Louisi- ana was an opression to the peo- pie, until his mind snapped"
 The inquest made only slight progress yesterday, two witnesses establishing only the known events of Sunday night.

 ward their state.
 Tt is their nor-bound duty to repeal the laws placed upon the statute books that make us noth- ing but slaves.
 "The man who was responsible for this has passed away.
 'The legislators now can act without fear and trembling.
 Should they fail to repeal the unjust laws now upon the books they had best heed the example of the man who has just passed away"
 One of the "spite" laws Chair man Fredericks intended to push toward passage, will gerrymandel Judge B. H. Pavy of Opelousas out of office. Judge Paw is the father-in-law of the ltae assassin and 1t was believed that that law goaded the studious youth, who had brooded over the qualities of the Long machine, to his desperate deed. Comments of Mayor New orleans, September 10 = Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, whom Senator Hpey Long's July legis. lature stripped of everything but the office furniture" commented on Longs death as follows:
 1T had always been opposed to violence as the proper means oi correcting conditions in Louisiana, Instead, I had appealed to the peo- pie to shake off their Iethargy and mere wishing that, conditions would change; to work, instead of just hoping. Now, at this time, natur- ally my sympthy goes out to Mrs Long and the family. and to the Weiss family.
 Politically speaking, don't think there will be any difference

Eaton Rouge, La., Sept 10-- (UP)-The Louisiana senate f. nance committee will meet as scheduled today to act on Senator Huey Long's final legislation.
 T believe that tlis is what Sem ator Long would want Us to do," A. A. Fredericks, chairman of the committee said shortly after Long died. And that is what I intend to do."
 The 40-odd bills, designed to shear the last political power from Long's opponents, were passed by the house yesterday as the senator lay near death.
