In the u. S. senate Long be-
came a man feared and to a
large degree summed. 1t was
not his "clowning" that angered
senators, but his sharp debate,
which tripped them up and
drew crowds to the galleries.
The man always seemed to gain
the public eye. There were in
cidents in his career that would
have ruined any other political
figure but which merely seemed
to increase Longs popularity.

Ii was in November, 1880, that
Governor Huey Long was
elected as United States senator
from Louisiana. But he re-
fused to resign as governor and
to take his seat in the senate
when it convened in March.
1881, until he could ARRANGE"
that his friend, Oscar K. Allen
would be elected, in 1882, to
,ucceed him as governor. He
had SO routed his enemies that
he now could dictate policies.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1935-09-19

AS a member of the national
Democratic committee from
Louisiana, Long was one of the
leading figures at the Chicago
convention in 1882. He swung
to the support of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, as a liberal. Less
than two years later Senator
Long was denouncing President
Roosevelt, and the national adj
ministratlon was prosecuting
Long lieutenants over federal
income tax returns. -

When Long took his seat in the
senate, he pointed to these OBJ
jects which he attained as gov.
ernor of louisiana: Money
poured into institutions for the
blind and insane, state univer-
sity raised from third to first
class; free school books; natural
gas for New Orleans; a $75,.

bridge program; a $5,OOO,OOO

little social service legislation.

California has sentenced to death 2
man who was not convicted of murder.
inns being, until short time ago. the
only crime for which the death penalty
could be eXacted.
Thomas K. Dugger, the so-called ape
mar" Of Los Angeles. was convicted of
kidnapping for the purpose of robbery" :"
which under a law passed by the last leg
islature, is punishable by death. In ad-
dition, the court sentenced Dugger to two
life terms and other prison terms run
ming from a minimum of II to a maxi
mum Of 119 years.
Dugger was convicted on 10 counts
growing out of vicious attacks on three
middle-aged women. The jury which
heard his case found him guilty and
then declared him sane, following a sani-
ty hearing.
Dugger is not the first one to be SEN
fenced to death for kidnapping, as two
other men have been waiting in San
Quentin for disposition of their cases
which are on appeal following imposi-
tion of the death sentence AS yet there
has been no execution in California un-
der the kidnapping law.
1t will be interesting to see what dis
position is made of Dugger's case. His
attorneys have already given notice of
appeal and plan to fight the penalty i'm
posed through the higher courts using
every means to have the harshnesS Of the
verdict tempered.
The jury which heard evidence on
Dugger's sanity was satisfied that at the
time of the attacks he knew right from
wrong. He unquestionably did, and that
should be all that is necessary to impose
the extreme penalty.
The nature of his crime is such that in
comparison with it some murders, for
which men have paid with their lives,
were not nearly such grave offenses.
Murder prompted by sudden passion or
desire for revenge is often sincerely re-
GREETED by the slayer when cool reason
returns to him. Not so those who are
guilty Of such crimes as Dugger COM
mitted. They are not done in any sud
den burst Of emotion but are the result
of careful planning and are most delib-
crate. There is no feeling Of remorse or
regret following them.
Kidnapers and deliberate attackers of
women or children are infinitely worse
than nine out of 10 slayers and should
be so treated. California will do we'll to
enforce the death penalty in all such
cases where a conviction has been OBJ
tanned.

Then, all OF a sudden. Mr.. Long

rolling over and over on the

Kittie turned and twisted. She
jumped up in the air, then she
rolled around again and stood on
her head. 1t was all very queer and
Uncle Wiggily thought perhaps a
bee had stung her. when all of a
sudden he smened a smell.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
KITTIE'S CATNIP

Once upon 4 time as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping through the woods,
near the place where he had dug
up The sassaJras root and fooled
the Bad Chaps. the rabbit gentle
man saw Kittie Kat. the pussy girl,
walking dainaly along the patch.
Kitrie. as DO all pussieS, walked in
very dainty way, as light as a
feather orva balloon or piece OF
sponge cake, which is lghtest
1t wasn't that Kittie Kat was
proud. though she did spell her last
name with a capital K instead of
capital c as do most cats. No,
Kittie Just walked daintily because
her paws were very soft. And her
claws. not like the toenails of Jackie
and Peetie Bow Wow, were hidden
up in her soft fur. They didn I
clatter and cack on the stones as
do the toenails Of puppies who can
not pull them in and stick them
out as pussy cats can do.
u wonder what Kittie Kat is
doing out here in the woods all
alone?' thought Uncle Wiggily to
himself as he watched the little
pussy girl stepping daintily along.
Perhaps she is looking for me.
She may want an adventure.
Well. I'll Civ her one. I'll sneak
up behind her and cry 'Boo!' II
she wants an adventure I'll give
her q little one. -
Kittie Picks Some Leaves
But before Uncle Wiggily could
do this he saw Kittie Kat stop be-
side the path and begin to pick
some leaves rom a bush that was
growing near a birch tree, the same
ree the bark OF which was used
to flavor the soda water.
"'What is Kittie picking? >
thought Uncle Wiggily. He stepped
behind a tree tc watch her SO she
Wouldn t see him.

G. o. P. NEEDS ACTION

If things go according to their usual
schedule, one year from next month will
see the two major political parties gath
cred in conventions to nominate candl-
dates for the 1886 election.
The Democrats, of course, could hold
their convention tomorrow with the same
result that will materialize next June.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be cinch regardless
of Huey Long, or anyone else and deS-
pite any third party movements.
But the Republicans are stuck. a year
before the convention finds them as far
from a candidate as they were the night
Mr. Hoover was defeated and a year IS
none too long to sell man, not only
to the country at large but to the rank
and file of the Republican party.
There isn't an outstanding man right
now in the Republican ranks who could
make any kind Of race against Mr.
Roosevelt and each passing day puts
greater handicap on the man whom the
Republican party will eventually nOmi-
nate.
Surviving elements of reactionary Re-
publicans are still in control Of the
party, hoping that by some miracle the
good old days will return, when they
are gone forever. They are as extinct as
the hansome cab or the tallOw candle.
Not until younger and progressive men,
bers of the Republican party get control
can the G. o. P. hope to go places in poll
tics and the younger Republicans have
not shown, in the past two years, suffi-
cient aggressiveness to band together,
oust the reactionaries and revive the
strength Of the party.
The Republican party as political
factor is far from being dead. 1t is in
deplorable condition but it can be revived
and again be dominant political party.
There is little hope for 1886, practically
no hope, so far as the Presidency is con-
cerned, but there is a chance to elect
senators and congressman, governors and
local officials-if the Republicans want
to rouse themselves. Gains can be made
in these places and the groundwork laid
for 1910. How much progress can be
made depends entirely on the young and
progressive Republicans and the type of
man whom the party chooses to be the
standard bearer next year. 1t is high
time to get busy.
The chain letter craze entered the dis
card even faster than miniature golf.

''You were too kusy eating cat
nip" said Mr.. Longears. "Well,
guess catnip leaves are good for
little pussies and big cats, though
I don't care for them. But why
are you in the woods alone?p
"Oh, Tomrlie and Joie are SICK -
said Kittie, speaking of her BROTH
ers. Mother sent me to get some
catnip to make them some tea. But
1 couldn't help eating some of the
leaves myself, they re so good!"
THAT'S ali right, Kittie,' said
Uncle Wiggily. "Catnip is good for
you. But don't eat too much"
1--WE had enough now" said
the little pussy girl. I'm pick
some more leaves to take to Tom
mie and Joie. Uncle Wiggily
helped her
They were IN the midst of pick
ing the caunip when, all of a sud-
den, the Bob Cat popped out of the
bushes. But, being a pussy, though
a very big and bad one, the Bob
Cat couldn't It resist eating some cat
nip leaves himself.
No sooner had he done so than,
like Kittie, he began to roll around,
jump up anG fall down in somer-
saults. And while he was doing
this silly stuff Uncle Wiggily and
Kittie slipped away and were safe
to hop home.
So you see catnip is good for
many things. And if the can op-
