HUEY LONG IS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE gress is the significance of Long’s , part in it. I Long is an avowed although not necessarily a confident third party candidate for president. His first objective, however, is to | smear the new deal which ca>c him out shortly after inauguration day two years ago. He hopes to split the party. Long enjoys no patronage. Treasury agents seek indictment of Ixtng's aides for income tax irregularities and are investigating the senator, himself. Ixmg wants revenge and he fe getting a fair measure of it. II? was a factor in the rejection of Mr. Roosevelt’s plea for adherence to the world court. Long’s nimble -wit made possible the senate vote that disjointed the Roosevelt $4880.000,000 recovery bill and compelled Democratic leaders to rush it back to committee before worse could happen to it. o Kirkland Farmers To Stage Basketball Game A team composed of farmers from the southern part of Kirkland township will meet a team from the northern halt of the townshin in a basketball game to be played at the Kirkland gymnasium.
