Long was elected governor of Lou isiana and the state has felt the Long family's political influence ever since. But with the commit ment of Gov. Earl Long, Huey's younger brother, to a Texas psy chiatric clinic two weeks ago. there have been rumblings the Long dynasty was crumbling. AP writer Hugh A. Mulligan, an AP stalfer at Louisiana's Capitol for three years, returned to Baton Rouge to survey Louisiana's gov ernment under the Long influ ence. By HUGH A. MULLIGAN AP Staff Writer BATON ROUGE, La. IAP-The long Long trail winding through Louisiana politics for 30 years has meandered tragically to the gates of a Galveskn, Tex., mental clin ic where Earl Long. Huey's young er brother, is confined after two shockingly profane speeches to the Legislature. Will Earl be back? Is the Long dynasty dead? These are the questions being asked openly and answered guard edly in the 34-story state Capitol building that rises as a giant headstone over Httey P. Long's grave. i A sanity hearing next weel? will provide some indication of the 63- year old governor's political fu ture. Since Earl's departure, no one has dared to pick up the Long mantle but some have tip-toed up to sniff at it. State Sen. B. B. Ray burn of Bogalusa, floor leader in the Senate, announced that he might be available to carry the ixmg oanner in the coming gov ernor s race and was promptly branded a "flyweight" contender by an outraged Long man in the House. Rumors persist that U.S. Sen Russell Long. Huey's .son who bears a striking physical resem oiance to tne late Kingfish, is maneuvering to take over the Long forces and run for governor in the December Democratic pri mary with the support of Deles- eps Morrison, the dynamic may or of New urieans. Morrison would then complete the rest of Russell's Senate term and run for a full term with his support in 1961. Both deny that any deal has been struck. 'I've always had an ambition to be governor and someday fol low my father in the mansion." Russell Long said In an interview, "but I have serious doubts at this time about leaving the Senate for the governorship. The normal po litical path is through the gover nor's office to the U.S. Senate. not the other way around. How ever, if it were the only way of keeping the Long faction together I might consider running." The senator joined in the fam ily conclave that decided to sign commitment papers tor the strick en governor. "My uncle and I have differed politically in the past, he said "He has his following, I have mine. As far as I'm concerned Lt. Gov. Lether Fraiar is the head of the Long forces now. I'm available for help but not here to put pressure on things." spending most oi his time tn Washington. Russell lacks the strong personal following and pa tronage-fed political machine that made his father and uncle abso lute bosses of the Long faction. His alliance with the northern lib eral wing of the Democratic par ty is sure to come under heavy fire from segregation leader W. M. Rainach. an all but announced candidate for governor himself. Many of Russell's opponents, to gether with some of His friends, feel that he lost considerable ground by showing flashes of tem per when six House" members ob jected to his addressing a joint session to explain the governor's illness and sudden trip out of state. Refusing to speak without an unanimous invitation, Long angrily demanded that the six stand up and be counted, and was somewhat taken back when they did. Three times he stalked away from the microphone, the old family fury burning in his eyes and his jaw set in a way reminis cent of Huey, but finally was per suaded to go ahead with his remarks. If the Long camp Is wary until the old warrior's future is deter mined by psychiatrists, many for mer Long supporters are anxious to pick up the pieces of his fol lowing. Among them are Secre tary of State Wade O. Martin Jr., and State Comptroller Bill Dodd. both potent vote getters. There are even rumors that Blanche Long, the governor's wife, might be persuaded to run. Segregation leaders, growing in political power since the Supreme Court school decision, are con vinced that Earl Long's break down, witness by thousands on television, marks the end of the Long dynasty, regardless of whether he ever runs again. In Louisiana the governor can not succeed himself, but Earl a few weeks ago came up with a scheme to resign before his term ends in favor of Lt. Gov. Frazar and then run to succeed Frazar. Long collided head on with seg regation leaders when he attempt ed to forestall by legislation a vote registration cleanup that' in the past three years has removed thousands of Negroes from the rolls.. Although he insisted that he was "100 per cent 'for segregation" and merely out to protect the poor white vote, segregationists ac cused him of making blatant play for Negro support. The charge is not without some foundation, since Long floor leaders privately ad mit the governor had no intention of Tetting his measures pass and actually pulled six key votes off the Senate floor when they came up. "By this play for Negro votes. Earl riddled his organization." said State Sen. Rainach, the ar dent. Bible quoting segregation leader who always wears a gray tie emblazoned with the Confed erate flag. "This is the end of factionalism in Louisiana politics, of Long against anti-Long." For 30 years Long against Long has been the dominant theme in Louisiana politics, with each side certain of anywhere from 30 to 40 per cent of the vote, and there are those who say it always will he a major factor as long as there is anyone around with the name of Long. a "I've never known i Long to be politically dead, certainly not the governor." insists State Sen. C.H. Downs of Alexandria, a Long lead er. Tomorrow: The rite ef Riser Lour and his sMIl Unerring Influ ence on Louisiana polities. End advance for pms wedaee- day.
