Huey Long plot

Huey Long was Louisiana's governor and later senator in the 1920s and 1930s. At the time of his assassination in 1934, he had a stranglehold on that state's legislation, controlling the state militia, several local police forces, as well as school boards. In doing so, he planned to run against Franklin D. Roosevelt in the next presidential election. Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns interviewed many people, most of whom believe Long was a good politician; after all, he pulled Louisiana out of the mud by building many highways and bridges across the Mississippi - at the expense of public money. He was Keynesian dream unknowingly, but would have hated to be described as a liberal.
