Matter Blocked

Chief Justice Charles ]. ONiell
of the supreme court convened
the senate as a court Of impeach-
ment. After a day Of hectic ora
tory the senate voted down the
one charge-that Governor Long
had sought to blackmail Charles
Maship, editor Of the Baton
Rouge State Times, by threaten
ing to expose the fact that the
publishers brother was a patient
in a mental hospital-thiS charge
being the only one voted before
the expiration of the session date.
The following day a remarkable
document was filed with the SEN
ate, headed by tine signature OF
the late Judge Philip Gilbert. and
signed by IA other members OF the
upper chamber, to the effect that
since the signers believed that any
charges brought after the expira-
ton Of the original session limit
had been illegally voted on, they,
the ssigners, would refuse to vote
conviction on such charges, re-
gardless of the evidence.
Since there were only 80 mem
bers Of the senate, and since any
number of members above Is
could block the two-thirds ma
jority needed for conviction, the
declaration Of IS, who have since
been known as the round robin
GERS, that they would refuse to
convict, halted the Impeachment

To cut a long story short. this
measure, which was known as the

death in the State senate, where
Lieutenant Governor Cyr, one OF
the governors most implacable
political opponents presided.
Governor Long Immediately an
nounced his candidacy for the
United States Senate, in opposi-
ton to Joseph E. RanSdell, on a
platform of his improvement pro
gram, with the statement that
even when elected he would not
take his seat until his term as gov
ernor expired. so that Paul Cyr
will not be able to act as governor
for one holy minute"
In an unusually bitter cam

the kidnapping of one Sam 1roy'
Senator Long was elected by a
majority Of some 10000 votes.
He Immediately convened the
legislature in special session,
issued a simple message in which
he said there would be no other
election in Louisiana for 10
months, and "if we must fight, it
will be better to fight for 30 days

than Starve while we fight for the
whole l6 months"

Legal Holiday

The Honest Election League,
newly-organized, demanded an in
vestigation, not on the ground
that Mr.. Overton would not have
been elected except for fraud, but
on the ground that so much fraud
had been practised during the
election that his title to a seat in
the United States Senate was
tainted. A special subcommittee
was appointed to conduct the in
vestigation, and held three hear.

just before the hearing Of Fec

developed in Louisiana which, UP

Hamilton Fish about the Hibernia

He was supported by Gus and
Francis Williams in New Orleans,
but ran third by a slight margin
and was thus eliminated in the
first primary, receiving, however,
about twice the number Of votes
that had been generally predicted.
Later in the same year he was
overwhelmingly reelected to the
Public Service Commission, but
continued to lay his lines for an
other onslaught on the governor
ship in 1928.
In that year. with John Sullivan
as his campaign manager, he re-
ceived an overwhelming plurality,

900 votes for each of his two op-
ponents. Riley J. Wilson and o. H.
Simpson. Simpson announced he
would support Huey Long in q
run-off and no second primary
was held.
Huey Long was inaugurated
governor on May 81, 1928, and a
stormy period of Louisiana politics
was inaugurated along with him.
An increase Of the severance tax
and an increase in the gasoline
tax to provide respectively funds
for free school books and a bond
issue for a road paving program
were among the measures passed
by the first session Of the legis-
lature. But the appropriation bill
heavily exceeded the prospective
revenues, and by the following
spring it became necessary to find
new sources of State funds.

AS a result, not bank in Lou

course, was open on February 4,
Saturday. BY Sunday after
noon, arrangements had been
made to borrow enough money
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to tide the Hibernia

which, in consequence, never de-
veloped. It was the national bank
ing holiday that accompanied
President Roosevelt's Inaugural
ton which finally closed banks in
Louisiana.
Senator Long continued his
stormy public career in Washing
ton that summer, and received
national publicity on two counts.
One was a $250,000 libel suit
filed against him by Gen. Samuel
Tilden Ansell who had served as
counsel for the special Senate in

School Subsidy

Governor Long then organized
a commercial affairs committee
in New Orleans, with many OF the
city's business leaders among its
active workers, and proposed a
plan for additional gasoline taxes
which would be used for a road
paving program of much greater
extent than that originally an
nounced, plus subsidy for the
public schools and the port OF
New Orleans.
This plan was wrecked by a dis.
agreement over the Safeguards
to be erected over the approx
mately 100000, 900 worth OF funds
thus to be raised for a public I'M
provement program, which like.
wise included the construction OF
a new State capitol.
At the session of the legislature,
meeting in 1880, the Long program
was bitterly opposed. Since it
needed a two-thirds vote because
of the constitutional amendments
required, it was doomed in the
legislature, where Governor Long

Exports at End

However, at the end Of the
school year, in June, 1912, he left
school and found the promised
sales position in Memphis, soon be-
coming sales manager. He had
continued his courtship Of Rose
Mcconnell, making frequent trips
to Shreveport to visit her.
They were married in April,
1918, and Immediately went to
housekeeping in Memphis, where
Huey Long prospered at an amaz-
ing rate.
The prosperity was cut short,
however, when the outbreak Of
the World War in the summer Of
1914 shut off the export Of cotton
overnight. Business was at a
standstill throughout the South
as a result.
Huey Long returned to VIM
field with his wife, and their saw
ings Of $500 or so, borrowed $500
more from his older brother, Jul.
ius, and with the total moved to
New Orleans to study law as a
special student at Tulane Univer-
sity.
He completed a three-year law
course in exactly seven months.
He and Mrs. Long maintained a
small housekeeping apartment in
Carrollton, and Huey studied
night and day.
The Washington times., 1935-09-10
A Serious ChQrge

Governor Long called a special
session Of the legislature, and pro-
posed the enactment Of a tax Of
five cents a barrel on the business
Of refining petroleum into lubri-
eating oil and gasoline.
This evoked an uproar, not only
from the Standard Oil Company
and allied interests. but from all
the manufacturing n dustrie S
throughout the State. So ener-
getic was the protest, that the
legislature. it soon became evident,
would refuse to enact such law.
Governor Long therefore de.
termined to adjourn the session
and rallied his administration
forces to that end. Early in the
afternoon of the Monday set for
adjournment, however, one Battl-
ing BoZeman, a former bodyguard,
made public an affidavit which
he charged the governor had
sought to hire him to aSsassinate
J. Y. Sanders, jr.. and Representa-
tive Cecil Morgan of Caddo, now
a district judge. determined to
lay the matter before the House.
Speaker John Fournet, now
justice Of the Supreme Court, re-
fused to entertain any motion but
that of adjournment, made by
Cleveland Fruge, Of Vile Platte,
but the vote was taken so quickly
that the board of the electrical
voting machine had rot yet been
cleared of the roll call upon the
Houses coming to order a few
minutes before.
The Washington times., 1935-09-10
Changes Jobs

Not very many weeks after
this Shreveport contest, Huey
severed his connection with the
Fairbanks firm in New Orleans
and travelled out Of Houston,
Tex, for a packing house. This
employment was Of short dura-
ton. He heard Of an opportunity
in Memphis and decided to go to
Tennessee.
Enroute to Memphis from Texas
he stopped over in New Orleans
and suddenly decided to try for a
newspaper position. He called on
Marshall Ballard. editor Of the
Item, who suggested that the
young applicant write something
for him. Huey wrote a piece about
the political situation in Louisiana.
and was offered a start as Gretna
correspondent for the Item, to COL
lect over.the-river news, at an
opening salary Of $40 a week, but
turned this down scornfully, since
he had been earning $25 q week
and more as q salesman.
He went on to Memphis, but the
promised opportunity failed to
materialize, and for the first time
in his life, Huey Long had to go
hungry and in want, although he
ultimately did get a job at manual
labor in a car foundry, mauling
scrap iron into pieces. This could
not hold him long, and on the
night Of November II, 1911, he
swung aboard q freight train that
was weSt-bound, determined to go
to Oklahoma University and study
law.
He landed In Norman quite pen.

Texas Opposes

The special session enacted the
various amendments and bond
issues Of the Long program, ana
the construction era began. This
was toward the beginning OF 1881,
and 1881 was the bad cotton year
in which a 10000. 000-bale carry
over sent prices plummeting to-
ward the scent level so that the
entire South faced ruin.
Proposals for blowing under
every third cotton row, and for
cutting down acreage by law
began to be heard. Governor
Long issued an announcement
that he proposed to outlaw the
planting Of any cotton during
1882 as the only enforceable
remedy.
He called a conference in New
Orleans which endorsed the idea,
with the proviso that the proposed
cotton holiday law become e1'
fective only when States repre-
senting three-fourths Of the coun,
try's cotton production should
have passed similar laws.
The conference called upon
Texas, which produced a third OF
the country's cotton. so that its
cooperation was essential. to be
first to pass the holiday law, but
Governor Ross Sterling issued a
statement to the press saying:
That's Huey Longs baby.
Let him be the first to wash It,"
