Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
major Robert .. Allen on active duty)

Observation-Disclosures, which
likes its politics red and raw, is In
the middle of another election cam
paign rivaling anything ever staged
during the -for-all fighting
days of Huey Long. In fact the
battle RACES partly over Huey Long.
For though his bullet-torn body has
lain buried for eight years, his mem
ory, his cohorts, and his brother
still are strong.
During the first years OF Cover
nor Sam Jones anti-Long admin
istration, the spotlight which shone
down on Huey Longs grave in
front of the capitol in Baton Rouge
was never extinguished-in defer
ence to the thousands who still
thought Of the Kingfish as king.
And no matter what happens in
the current cut throat primaries to
be held February 20, Louisiana will
still be blessed, or cursed, with
considerable amount of Longism,
for his brother Earl is sure to come
out as lieutenant governor.
And if singing, sustaining Jimmy
Davis, the radio crooner who took
his cue from radio actor Senator
Pappy O'Daniel in Texas, is finally
elected governor, he (Jimmy) will
probably go to Hollywood to make
dance records, leaving Earl Long in
virtual control Davis won the
states first Democratic primary
held on January Is.
The other gubernatorial candi-
date, ex-Congressman VILLA m
Morgan, was Huey's counsel at the
Kingfish impeachment proceedings.
So either way, though Huey Longs
body may be. moldering in the
grave, his work, for better or worse,
goes marching on. Earl Long is
candidate for lieutenant governor
on Morgan's ticket.
Louisiana, however, does not be-
lieve in pallid substitutions. 1t
wants its Kingfish rip-roaring in
the flesh or else not at all. This
was the explanation Of the pricked-
balloon fizzle in the January pri-
mary of Congressman James Nor
rison, whom the Saturday Evening
Post described as the "minnow who
could be kingfish.'
The article was a masterpiece OF
scathing criticism But illustrative
of "Minnow' Morrison and the at
titude of the Louisiana electorate
is the fact that he advertised the
article over the radio and had ter
sheets pasted all over the doors and
windows of his campaign headquar-
tiers.
Anyone who is written up in the
Saturday Evening Post" he below
