On Ijls death hed, he praised u seeond hook he was preparing to issue, ; "My Flint Year in the White House," and talked deliriously of it as a host neller. Long never realized hiH umhition to make of Baton Houge a little Dlstriet of Columbia in which to rule IUh empire. He took a docile leglslalure and used it to put laws Into effect to make Ixiuislana a "Utopia." Having debts Huwpended in 1932 for two yeurH, he began a wild law making Hpreo thut Haw seven aepcial scshIoiih of the legislature in a year and gave him powers never before dreamed of In a Democratic state. That legiHlativo campaign, from Aumint, 1934, .to September, 1935, was marked by a ruftilessnesH that built up hut red among hl? foes. It possibly was such an accumulated venom that drove 30-year-old Dr. Weiss to give up bis own life to lire the one bullet into Long's body. Long married Miss ltose McConnell of Memphis, Tenn., when ho was 19 after she had won his heart by haking pies and winning a prize with a vegetable compound he was selling in a cooking contest, which he promoted. Sorrowing $100 from u mother he lived with his wife in a dingy New Orleans apartment while he completed a three-year law course at Tulane University In nine months. After graduation, the young lawyer hung out his shingle in his home town Of Winnlield but soon was lured to politics. At 24 he ran for railroad commissioner. He was elected and gained state-wide notice by securing substantial telephone rate rebates. Long bucked the old line politicians and they laughed al him when lie sought the governor's office in 1924. He lost then but won so many votes that the v?-t* r:tti- began to lake him j seriously. In 192s. at the next election, he was i successful hut liis methods, as governor. from the start, aroused such protest the house voted to impeach , him the following year. Long escaped conviction in the senate and removal from office when majority group of senators refused to hear the charges on the ground that ! the session was illegal. Proposing a $73,000,000 concrete j road building program. Long used aj successful campaign to defeat Joseph i L. Kausdell for the United States senate as authority from the people for expenditure of the money. This was followed by a period in which Long kept his office as governor until February, 1931, to prevent the elevation of bin enemy. Lieutenant Governor Paul N. Cyr, to the post, finally shutting Cyr from office and placing one of his own followers in as governor. The senator warmly supported Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign for the presidency in 1932 and was credited with aiding in securing the nomination for Roosevelt at the party convention. Ixjng supported O. K. Allen for governor and contrglled the state through his ability to dictate to Allen. By this time Long easily was able to cairy the country vote but had not been able to break the power of the "old regular" Democratic ring in New Orleans. lu September, 1934, he conducted a legislative investigation before the primary exposing "graft and eorrupgovcruinent and beat the candidates of Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley. The pre-election days in New Or-j leans were marked by military display with Long in command of the militia and Walmsley commanding the police The opposing "armies" faced each { other for da>s across a narrow street.! Police occupied city hall and the tui- j litia the registration office opposite.] Through a series of special legislative acts. Long crippled the finances i of New Orleans and took away pow-1 ers from Walmsley so that a few . months ago Walmsley's leaders surrendered to Long and left Walmsley j a mayor almost without a city. In his drive, for power. Long had the legislature make him commander of i the plain clothes state army and give j him authority to use the militia for J any purpose, name the vote counters j at elections and a host of other powers. So fierce became the opposition to lx>ng in January this year that citizens rose in armed rebellion at Baton Rouge but were captured or routed with one casualty, a civilian, in an engagement at the parish airport. Then followed Long's "murder plot" in which he charged a number of of- j ficials with conspiring to assassinate' him. Martial law was proclaimed and I soldiers, manning machine guns, sur- j rounded the state house. During the first year Ix>ng definite-1 ly launched on a national campaign. ! He broke with President Roosevelt i and defied the entire senate. Becoming a bitter critic of the New Deal, he enacted laws in Louisiana glYtng the state control of the ex% ^ penditure of work relief money. In the session in progress when he was shot down was a law for imprisonment of federal officials conducting 'unconstitutional" activities in I>ouisiana. On a recent visit to New York Long definitely announced he would be a presidential candidate if the Demoijnis fviwrriinaied Roosevelt and the Republicans named Herbert Hoover. He was considered by observers as a threat to the Democratic party because of the possibility he might carry some southern states if he ran on a third party ticket.

He' made a trip to Mexico aometime ago' and the reault of hla travela and study j of tlie country waa woven into a tine talk on that country, which la no of-! ten misunderstood by tlie world, und ! eapecially by ita cloaeat neighbor, the ! United States. Rabbi Schillman j touched on the early history of the \ country, when the Aztecs and other J tribea of Indiana lived there, and i a poke of the great ruina in lower J Mexico, aomo of which are three thousand yeura old, allowing that the ' Indiana at that time were possessed of a high type of ciflllzation. He j traced the history on down to the conquest of Mexico by Cortez, who robbed I I the country and made slaves of the i Indians, setting back the old civiliza-1 lion, which tlie country had enjoyed for over two thousand years. He told ! of some of the world's finest cathe- i drals which were erected there be-! tween 1550 and 1600, und said that' none wore so fine in this country unices it was the cathedral of St. John, the Divipe, in New York. Ho told of 1 the disturbed conditions of the coun-! try, since 1850, which were followed < by many bloody revolutions and the j overthrow of various governments. j Rabbi Schillman sees a fine future for Mexico, not only as to a stabilized government and people, but a cultural and wealthy nation. He says! that no country is possessed with such natural wealth as is found in Mexico, und that tlie potential possibilities of u groat country and people cannot be denied.
