Abstract

The Build-up of Long and Coughlin
R. G. S. | March 20, 1935 issue

add to cart   close window

The excommunication of the U.S. Senators Huey Long and Kevin Coughlin has turned into a demonstration of political feeble-mindedness. General Hugh Johnson, a discredited man, was set up to finish off the Kingfish and the radio priest merely because he fires a sixteen-inch mouth. The General did a marvelous job with his verbal ammunition. He overjoyed everyone capable of delight in pictureśque language. When he had finished, he had built up for Long the largest radio audience in his career — nearly a "Presidential" audience in size which Huey, who is no fool, used not for vituperation but for a presentation of his wealth-sharing program.
