Huey P Long II: The Campaign Trail

Published: Dec. 6, 2018, 9:54 a.m.

Huey Long pulled a man aside once, and, conspiratorially, explained his plans for 1924. 

"I'm gonna run for governer, and let me tell you how I'm going to win. In every parish, there is a boss, usually the sheriff. He has 40% of the votes, 40% are opposed to him, and the other 20% are in-betweens. I'm going to go into every parish and cuss out the boss. That gives me 40% of the votes, and I'll hoss trade 'em out of the inbetweens."

So said Huey Long.
