Especial to The Citizen)

PENSACOLA, Fla, Feb. ID
A declaration that, if elected next
governor of Florida, he would not
take the oath of office with my
fingers crossed" in respect to law
enforcement, climaxed an address
last night in the Escambia county
circuit courtroom by B. F. Patty,
candidate for governor.
The address, first of the 1886
gubernatorial campaign delivered
in Pensacola, held the close at
tention of a crowd which filled
the courtroom beyond its capa-
city and drew warm applause at
its close.
Included in the gathering were
about 20 prominent political lead
ers of the county, according to
one political observer, who said
the force and virility of the adj
dress and it's proposals was ga
pleasant surprise" to the crowd.
claws on the statute books of
this state should be enforced with
reasonable diligence Or they
should be repealed, and if 1 be-
come governor I shall use my dill
gent effort to see that they are
enforced as the constitution re-
quires of the governor" he said.
"The first duty of any man really
loyal to the principles of popular
government is to see that law is
enforced and order upheld"
Patty also struck at the prac-
tice of the present chief execu-
tive in asking for undated resig-
nations from appointees at the
time they received their appoint
ments. 81 shall never ask any
sheriff or any other official for
his undated resignation on his
appointment to office. The sher-
ifs and other officers should be
permitted to serve unmolested by
the governor unless there is con-
vincing proof of misconduct in
office, in which case I would I'M
hesitatingly exercise the power of
removal. But / would not re-
move an official until he had
been given an opportunity to be
heard"
Calling the practice of "charg-
ing people to vote" thing "re-
pulsive" to him, Patty pointed out
only three states now charge poll
tax and said he would advocate
adjustment of the practice.
He said the revenues from the
tax, which goes to schools, is ap-
proximately 100000, proper
tionately small, and zone stroke
of the axe in a state department
would save enough to offset it,"
However. he made plain, he in
tends no interference with a prov
en- source of revenue to the
schools unless some adequate and
source is offered in
its stead.
Patty was introduced by w.
Pierce Bledsoe, president of the
Escambia County League of
Young Democrats. From Pensa-
cola he goes to Punta Gorda
where he will begin an intensive

With Baby On Her Lap She
Prepared And Folded
Campaign Circulars For
His Political Career

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. IA
Mrs. Huey p. Long goes to the
United States senate as successor
to her spectacular husband well
grounded in the Vaccinations of
politics.
From early married life and un
til the last few years of his career,
she fought for his advancement
from behind the scenes. 1t was
she, with a baby on her lap, who
prepared and folded for mailing
the campaign circulars that
launched her husband in politics.
He sought and followed her ad-
vice as he prepared the ground
work that brought him to the poll
teal dictatorship of Louisiana.
But in the last years of Huey
Longs life, he became a little too
tempestuous with his politics for
her and she played small part in
his public life.
Helped Huey's Career
Like her husband, she came
from farm and she was almost
his age. In 1892 she was born
on a farm near Greensburg, Ind,
and in few years the family
moved to the town of Greenburg.
Her fnother<<sas native Of -Eouis.
lana and when she was 10 the
family moved to Shreveport, La,
where she met her husband by
winning a prize for the best cake
made from a compound that Huey
Long was selling.
At the age of 20, she married
Long in Memphis, where they
lived a short time until Long de-
cided on a legal and political
career. She came with him to
New Orleans and did homework
on shoe-string until her husband
completed one year of law school,
enough for him to pass the bar
examination. They Their settled
at winfield, La, her husbands
birthplace. After a few years
they moved to Shreveport and
turned to politics.
With small funds and little en-
enlargement, she worked with
her husband at her home doing
the clerical work and her house
work. From Shreveport they
went to Baton Rouge to the gov
ernor's mansion and with Huey
well launched on his career with
plenty of money, Mrs. Long turn
ed her attention more to her chill
dren and her home. She let her
husband proceed alone in politics
after that and had no desire to
go to Washington as a senator's
wife.
Acceptance Surprised Friends
Mrs. Long is a brunette of
average height and little plump.
She is pleasant and jolly, caring
little for society and club life.
She said she was happier with her
daughter and two sons in her
home. Until she was appointed
senator, she had no desire for pub
lie office and her acceptance sur
prlsed those who knew her best.
She is the type of woman who
can grace a mansion as well as a
cottage and probably will fit into
the senate as a quiet and inter-
ested member. She has no special
political plans and hardly could
be expected to attempt to follow
the uproarious course of her hus-
band. She probably will map her
own course as she goes along.
