DICTATORSHIP
IS EXPECTED
TO CRUMBLE
Observers Agree That
There Is None To
Take Place; GOP’s
Hopes Smashed
WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. </PH
Shock. sorrow and wonder about
the political effect mingled In
varying degrees Tuesday as the
capital awoke to read that the as
sassin's bullet had cost Senator
Huey P. Long his life.
The extraordinary nature of the
man was illustrated. The custom
ary expressions of grief at the
passing of a public figure were de
ferred, as high and low first gave
voice to their horror that gunfire
had removed a national political
figure.
Wants Investigation
Representative Fenerty (R-Pa)
broached the probability of a con
gressional Inquiry Into the slaying.
From Atlantic City he telephoned
his of lice here before the death
to say the house committee which
already had planned Investigation
of the Long dictatorship in his
state "might also look Into who it
was who Instigated the attempted
murder."
On all sides there was tremendous
Interest In the barest details. Dif
ferences over Long himself, and
these were many and deep, went
unmentloned amidst recollections
of his whimsical and boyish side.
Within the administration and
the republican organization espe
cially, attempts to gauge the poli
tical effect were made.
The consensus appeared to be
that no politician now was In sight
who could take the place made by
the Louislanan for himself.
Although New Deal leaders had
publicly not given much weight to
Long’s plans to attempt to wrest
the presidential nomination from
Roosevelt next June, and to run
Independently if falling, republic
ans had welcomed his intentions on
the theory that It might spilt the
democratic vote In November.
Senator Smith. South Carolina
democrat, believed the "share-our
wealth” movement—as built by
Long—would collapse without him.
In 27 years as a senator, he said.
“I’ve seen nobody there comparable
with Long—and I don't mean solely
in exhibitionism and buffoonery.
He was a genius. He had a mind
extraordinary In both power and
quickness."
"More power to him!” former
Senator Glenn of Illinois had ex
claimed In Chicago when the fallen
legislator In mid-August announced
his 1936 Intentions.
Blunt Warning*
These were not limited to the
presidency. The Loulslanan also
had spoken of striking at members
of the house and senate whose re*
election next year is considered im
portant to the present administra
tion. Notable among these latter
were Senators Joseph Robinson of
Arkansas and Senator Pat Harri
son of Mississippi.
“He won't be back,” Long once
eald bluntly of Robinson. He was
credited largely with the election
to the senate of Mrs. Hattie Cara
way to succeed her late husband In
Arkansas two years ago.
Similarly at various times during
his speeches In the senate he
singled out Harrison and Senator
Bailey (D-NC) and less emphatic
ally Senator McKellar (D-Tenn) as
foe men who would not “be back."
The popular appeal of his facile
tongue inlght be in part measured
by his tremendous drawing power
In Washington and at other places
where he spoke.
He packed senate galleries as did
no other speaker, and the end of
his talks occasioned a mass depar
ture. the noise of which at times
Interrupted business lor several
minutes.
"The show Is over, you can go
now." Vice President Garner once
remarked as the exodus began at
the end of one of Long's speeches.
The speeches repeatedly told how
he would go up and down the land
with his sound truck to fight Roose
velt next year. Continually he
hammered at cabinet members,
more especially at Postmaster Gen
eral Parley and Secretary Ickes
whom he styled the "chinch bug of
Chicago
Bitterly he accused Ickes and Re
lief Administrator Hopkins of em
ploying FERA and PWA funds at
the request of the administration to
undermine him In Louisiana. He
accused Parley of manipulating the
award of public bullldng contracts
to friendly construction firms and
laid before the senate a mass of
data he claimed proved his charges.
Be was unable to bring about an in
vestigation.
Shrewd Politician
Early in his senatorial career he
began building up a nationwide
political organization.
"Clubs are springing up by the
dozens every day,” he often insist
ed to reporters, and with an ex
pansive wave of his hand, would
add: “All over the country, in ev
ery state.”
Frequently he was held up along
With Father Charles E. Coughlin of
Detroit as an oratorical pheno
menon whose popularity sprung
from the depression.
Long had been a figure of im
portance in Louisiana years before
the depression struck, however, and
had comparative youth and great
vigor—he was in his early fortles
to carry him through many years
of political life.
Almost no one questioned the cer
tainty of his own re-election next
year, and he shrewdly had the state
primary date moved forward to
early In 1936 so as to free his hands
fbr what ever strokes he planned to
deliver against his foes later on.

Mercedes Able
To Meet New
Houses Demand
(8peclal to The Herald)
MERCEDES, Sept. 10.—"There is
no housing shortage in Mercedes.’'
L. F. Boling, manager of the Mer
cedes Chamber of Commerce stated
Tuesday, after completing a survey
of available rental properties in this
city. "We have had many calls for
small unfurnished and furnished
apartments as well as four room
houses, but we have been able to
take care of all applicants and still
have room for many more families '
Boling said.
“Due to the influx of oil com
pany employees and the arrival of
the forty-nine school teachers at
the start of this school year we have
been pressed for small apartments
and rooms, but due to the activity of
the property owners in the remodel
ing and renovating of existing prop
erties we now have available living
quarters for many more families.
“Many reservations are being made
for the advance guard of the oro
duoe buyers and shippers but it is
apparent that many of these peo
ple will not be here till October 1.
Inquiries from winter visitors are
arriving daily and It Is apparent
that many non-residents are con
templating spending the winter
mcnths here. With oontinued oil
activity in this Immediate section
there will be a continued steady in
crease of families connected with
that industry, but to date we have
been able to meet the demand for
rent houses. apartments and
rooms,-’ Boling concluded.

Mercedes Is
In Favor Of
Bargain Days
I
_to The Hermld)
MERCEDES. Sept. 10.— Fanners
of the Mercedes community are
strongly In favor of trades days,
especially of the type being spon
sored by the trade extension com
mittee of the chamber of commerce,
W. E. Dailey, chairman of the com
mittee announced after completion
of an exhaustive survey of the sur
rounding trade territory.
"Merchants In Mercedes have
been sponsoring a aeries of 12 fall
trades days offering exceptlor.il
bargains, at the same time main
taining the tame reasonably price
levels which have always existed
here,” Dailey said.
•‘No extra Inducements are re
quired to hold the farmers residing
in the regular trade territory but
the replies to the questionaire sent
to farmers adjacent to surrounding
cities show that although the dis
tance Is greater many farmers have
Naeen driving the extra miles in order
to participate in this series of
trades days and wish to have them
continued. Due to the uniform prices
advertised by the chain stores for
entire Valley the farmers are as
sured of the same price level at
these establishments, while the
placing of exceptional bargains of
fered by merchants not connected
with the chain systems have result
ed in large savings to the pur
chaser," Dailey stated.
“Trades day prises have been won
by many rural residents according
to the replies to the questionaire
and the neighborhoods in which the
. recipients reside are trading in
Mercedes practically one hundred
per cent, taking advantage of the
bargains offered, with the addition
al opportunity of securing a sub
stantial award on tickets supplied
by the merchants from whom the
merchandise is purchased. A com
plete report of the survey and a
tabulation of the answers will be
available to Mercedes merchants
within a few days," Dailey conclud
ed.
