‘MARTYRDOM’ OF HUEY CITED IN ELECTION FIGHT Machine Foes Counter With Charges of ‘Graft’ in Dull Campaign. By T.'nitril /’rest NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 27. “Graft' and the ‘'martyrdom" of Huey P. Long are the main issues In the political fight in Louisiana which will culminate on Jan. 21 when the people vote on the. fate of the Long dictatorship. For nearly a month the opposing j fictions—the machine group, headed by Judge Richard Leche of New Orleans, and the Home Rule group headed by Cleveland Dear of Alexandria have stumped the state with their sound trucks and speakers. Both sides have attracted large crowds but for the most part the campaign is colorless and apathetic. Almost every one concedes that the machine candidates have a decided advantage but many persons say that the anti-Long faction is making a strong appeal to the voters and the trend is increasingly in their favor. Voters Unknown Quantity The Louisiana electorate, now more than ever, is an unknown quantity. Because of the new law which abolished the poll tax as a requirement for voting, the number of persoas qualified to vote in the Democratic primary has increased from approximately in 1932 to more than 600,00 jat present. Politicians assume this increase represents mostly ignorant and poor people, many of whom indorsed Long and his policies. The old regular Democratic sac- j tion, which controls the New Or- ! leans patronage, is solidly lined up i behind the machine group. This | alignment was effected by Long shortly before he was assassinated. Long Foes Are Handicapped The Anti-Long organization is badly handicapped because they have limited campaign funds whereas the machine levies assessments on state employes for its campaign chest, uses state property—including the sound trucks which arc owned by the state—and controls all r,cate patronage. The Anti-Long group has only the Federal patronage, and Federal relief funds which the machine politicians charge are being used against them. If the Long machine is returned to office, observers believe there will be much thfoat-cutting as soon as the election is over and it is altogether likely that the Long faction will then split up into numerous warring groups. It is only the approaching election which holds them together now. What’s a Few Millions? The machine group so far has not produced a sin ;le real issue, but their speakers continually laud Huey Long and refer to their opponents as ‘ assassins.’’ They plead that they be permitted to carry on the work of their “martyred” leader. The anti-machine group, on the other hand, is making a real issue of graft which they have uncovered in the Long political machine. In addition to the disclosures of graft brought out in the Federal ineome tax evasion trials in New Orleans, the Dear group charges that the state lost more than $300,000 through the sale of oil leases to high state officials. So far the only reply to these charges was made by Mr. Leche. “What if we did steal several milhe said. "We still gave you good roads and free school books and that is more than any other government in Louisiana has ever done.” NO SPADE CALLER, HE Plymouth’s City Hump Is “Park” or “Depository” to Caretaker. Timex Special PLYMOUTH. Ind., Dec. 27. There is some dignity in all business. That is what William Whittaker decided. As caretaker of the city dump, he appeared before the Council and took a decisive stand. The dump, Mr. Whittaker proclaimed. is really a park, or more technically, a “city depository.’’
