Last week it looked as if Louisiana, after twelve years of the Long machine, had just about paid in full. Ended was a long, bitter, five-sided primary campaign, in which Huey's brother, Governor Earl Long, wrapped the mantle of Huey around him, with some opponents saying he had no right to wear it and some saying it was no mantle.

Solemnly alleging that Neylan was representing only Herbert Fleishhacker, was working not for but against the interest of the bank, Anglo California demanded back $85,000 paid him from bank funds on Fleishhacker's orders. While it was about it, Anglo California tossed in another item of $75,000 still due on a note which Mr. Neylan has refused to pay because he thinks he has that much more fee coming...
