singles division of the State tour-
nament on the Highland Country Club courts yesterday when he swept through to a 6-0, 7-5, 6-1 victory over Don Leavens, the defending titleholder from Milwaukee.

EARL LONG HAS | HARD JOB, BUT | TAKES IT EASY
Faces Three Opponents in|
January Election, but None Is Crusader.
By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer
. BATON ROUGE, La. July 31.— Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown of Louisiana’s political emGovernor Earl Kemp Long finds himself somewhat in the situation of Calvin Coolidge, who had no sooner sat himself down in the
White House aiter the death of Warren G. Harding than scandal which had. gone on behind the
tion began to be limelighted by Senate committees. : Mr. Coolidge weathered the storm and got himself re-elected.
same and perpetuate the family name in Louisiana politics is a big question. But he will be the central figure: about which the political battle will rage from now until the January election. He is in the saddle—even though “by accident,” as he puts it —and he intends to stay, if possible.
Plays Double Role
He will be the target of the citizens reform movements, now spreading rapidly in this state, and of the other candidates, three of whom already are in the field. Earl Leng is no Calvin Codolidge, though he has a backwoodsy, wisecracking flair reminiscent of seme of the Coolidgeisms. Nor is he a Huey Long. Earl looks somewhat like Huey. He has his brother's casusl, informal manner. But he lacks Huey’s force, -energy and brilliance, though credited with: a certain native shrewdness. As he proceeds today in the face of the mounting scandal and in-his simultaneous campaign for re-eleg-tion, he assumes two roles. From time to time he makes his forays into the backwoods, and then he imitates Huey, with ‘the encircling gestures, the folksy cracks. Then, as the Federal agents move in to pick off another member of the machine which he inherited, he makes a loud noise like a reformer and fires or disciplines the fellow who is about to get caught.
Maestri Sits Uneasily
Earl Long was tolerated by the clique which ruled Louisiana because of his name, which still carries great weight in the outlying parishes among the farmers and the “cajuns” along the bayous who worshi ed: Huey. But the clique kept. hin arms’ length, and that now is an advantage to him. It was privately very pleasing to him when two of the triumvirate which ruled the state got their political walking orders — Seymour Weiss, the hotel man and former
_| treasurer. of the Huey Long organ-
ization, who was . indicted, and “Dick” Leche, the former Governor who stepped down before the storm. The most powerful of the triumvirate, Mayor Roberts S. Maestri of New Orleans, ‘still sits in City Hall, but with an anxious eye cocked toward the Federal Grand Jury, which meets tomorrow. There are two opinions as to the reaction if the Mayor is involved. One that it will pull the machine completely apart and wreck Earl Long's political future—since Earl has tied himself closely to Mayor Maestri and has defended him from the stump; the other, that this will then leave Earl a free agent to reconstruct his own machine from what is left of the old one. Governor Long today refused to
{name a “Seabury-type” investigation
to delve into the scandals. He said he had no right to delegate his duties.
Reformers Have Big Job
The reform element is aware of the difficulties it faces in getting “a new deal” in Louisiana.
leadership by what might be called “the silk stocking element’—lawyers and businessmen of New Orleans who ‘fought Huey and have connections with “the interests” which Huey -held up to the scorn of the folks outside of New Orleans. Another handicap is the fact that the political organization which has held power so long has its tentacles
through local machines. * Also, Louisiana still lacks what might be called a ‘*‘white hope”— a crusader who has no connection with the old regime but does have the necessary ability, courage and political sagacity to lead the forces of revolt. All four candidates who have announced thus far have now or have had in the past some tie with the old organizations.
