NEW ORLEANS, Marin 1--
Louisiana Democratic voters reject-
ed yesterday a group of candidates
for state office who advocated a
return to the ’’liberal government
e the late Huey P. Long" and
elevated to the governorship Jim-
mie H. Davis, the author of "You
Are My Sunshine" who campaign-
ed with a hillbilly band
in laying the ghost of "Longism."
the voters also defeated the bid
for state and party power of the
"old regular” organization of New
Orleans and its leader, Mayor Rob-
ert S. Maestri, unable during the
second primary campaign to deliv-
er an expected heavy majority from
the metropolitan area.
A majority of me members of
the Louisiana congressional delega-
tion also had supported the "old
regular” candidates, led by a form-
er congressman and Huey Longs
onetime attorney, Lewis L. Mor-
gan, who opposed Davis for the
governorship.

The bitterness or the second prl-
mary recalled earlier contests in
I the days of "Kingfish" Huey Long.
There were eight candidates for
I governor in the first primary in
! which Davis, while top man, led
| Morgan by only 35(000 votes. The
old regulars had counted, to put
their candidates over, upon large
blocks of votes for several of the
defeated candidates, among them
the third highest candidate. Repre-
sentative James H. Morrison, who
Hlater supported Morgan.
* -
While Songster Davis did not
mention his opponent by name and
avoided personal criticism, he was
a target for many attacks Some
of his earlier ditties were called
; into question he was painted as the
stooge of a statehouse machine
entered into a political alliance with
1 the opposition’s candidate for lieu-
I tenant governor, Earl K. Long,
brother of the late senator who was
onetime czar of Louisiana affairs.
He denied the latter charge vehe-
mently.
Early in the runoff campaign, a
Morgan leader accused Long of
taking part in deals to get Morgan
out of the race so that he Long
might take the lieutenant-govern-
orship by a simple first-primary
plurality.
Louisiana law eliminates a second
primary for all offices if one of
the candidates for governor with-
withdrawing Morgan and the poli-
tical loyalty of Long were discuss-
ed and ended in a reindorsement
of both Morgan and Long by the
old regulars. Until the final days
of the campaign, however, the two
did not appear together.
New Orleans, citadel of the
“old regular” Long faction gave
Morgan less than an 8,000 vote
lead over Davis. Davis’ sup-
porters had counted on having
to overcome about a 30,000 Mor-
gan lead. *
The contest for Democratic nom-
ination for governor and other of-
fices means election in Democratic
Louisiana. .
Davis’ appeal for the election of
J.Emile Verret for lieutenant gov-
ernor appeared to have been ans-
wered by the voters. In 1367 of
1865 precincts they gave Verret
185,000 votes while Earl Long gar-
nered 161,876. Nevertheless, Long
would not concede defeat.
The "old regular”—Long choice
for attorney general. Joe T. Caw-
thorn, on t he basis of 1344 precincts,
had 159.246 votes against his Davis-

night, counsel for the condemned
head of Murder, Inc., will begin a
new legal move today which may
forestall the scheduled execution.
J Bertram Wegman, attorney for
Buchalter, will apply in federal
court for a writ of habeas corpus
contending that it was illegal for
the federal government to surren-
der him to the state Tor execution
while he was under sentence in the
federal courts.
It is customary for writs of
habeas corpus to be issued as a
matter of routine, according to
legal sources, but should the
action fail an appeal could be
taken making it necessary for
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey to grant
a sixth postponement of the
execution.

In the past, Dewey has taken the
position that he would not permit
the executions of the others until
Lepke too should be put to death.
The three men were convicted of |
slaying Joseph Dosena, Brooklyn
candy store owner, eight years ago.
Before that conviction, however.
Buchalter had been found guilty of
a narcotics charge and sentenced to
14 years in federal prison.
Buchalter, meanwhile, maintain-
ed his calm in the death house. He
whiled away the time reading, writ-
ing letters and exercising. He ate
heartily.

THE FOUR GREAT REVOLUTIONS
(Copyright, 1944 by P. L. HOWE)
Preface.—This bit of essential and true history, with a correct interpretation of its rela-
tions to the prerent world crisis, was written by Dr. P. L. Howe. Dr. Howe is National
Chairman of the United Democrate, an organization to promote the general welfare of
the common people who are the beat and only useful part of the entire world population.
When there common people are well organised on the United Democrats their power can
envelope the earth to establish genuine democracy under which there will be a con-
tinuous post war peace and prosperity for all. You may see or address Dr. Howe at the
Longhorn Courts, Abilene, Texas.
In all history there have been four great
revolutions. The primary purpose of each was
to establish a government on earth which would
bless all and curse none. It is still to be hoped
that all nations will yet accomplish this noble
purpose.
__The first great revolution was the idealistic
Christian Revolution in the year A. D 33. In
this revolution there was no' organized armed
attempt to overthrow any then existing gov-
ernments. Those Christian Revolutionists merely
confined themselves to the teaching of certain
laudable principles of which the most import-
ant were as follows: L
1st. The equality of all men in a universal
brotherhood or a genuine democracy.
2nd The principle of brotherly love or true
charity. Jesus, the leader of the Christian
Revolution taught that It Is wrong to have two
coats when your brother has none No man can
possibly be rich and live up to this principle.
So rich men usually, left the presence of Jesus
sorrowfully. Jesus and his brother James went
so far as to condemn the rich men to hell But .
present day hypocrites everlastingly praise a
rich man who figuratively speaking has a mil-
lion coats while a million of his poor unemploy-
ed brother- have “one. The early Christians
"held their goods in common and none suffer-
ed " This was the first attempt at so-called com-
munism.
3rd The Golden Rule, the words of which
are so well and universally known there Is no
use to repeat them here. Under the present
fascist economy none of us can possibly live up
to the Golden Rule Certainly not a one of us
could possibly get rich while living up to It.
4th Non-violence, resist not evil, love your
enemies, do good to them who despitefully use
you, etc.
The foregoing principles were so simple and
good that Christ and his disciples thought all
men would hate sense enough to understand
—and that Christianity” would spread like a swift
contagion over all the earth. But it seems that
evil is more contagious than good as disease is
more contagious than health. But alas! The
Christian Revolution failed to reckon on the
Stubbornness and cruelty of the ruling rich
minorities After nearly two thousand years
Gandhi still believes in the theory of non-
. violence against India's gnoran t and brutal
British masters.
The second great revolution was the Ameri-
can Revolution of 1776 The three great steps
.taken by this revolution were as follows
tat step—Hell was shot out of the divine
right of kings.
2nd step—The equality of all men was
established in principle
3rd step—The people were given the right
to rule or the right to democracy.
4th step—The Importance of which was un-
derstood by so few of the 'people It was never
taken The failure of the American Revolution-
ists to take this step has been the cause of all
poverty and wars in the present day world
The third great revolution was the Chinese
Revolution in 1912. It too, took the three grest
steps as did the American Revolution and like
the American Revolution. it failed to take the
4th great step. But under the teaching of Dr.
Sun Yat Sen more people understood the Im-
portance of the 4th. step then was the case in
1776 1
The fourth great revolution was the Russian
Revolution in 1917. This revolution followed the 1
example of the American and Chinese revolu-
tions and took the first three great steps which
coincide with the moral principles of the
Christian Revolution. But it wisely went further
and took the 4th. great step. That is, it not only
gave the people the right to rule or the right
to democracy but gave them all the banks,
railroads, factories, mills, mines and land. Thus
they abolished the criminal rule by an Ignorant
and brutal rich minority The private ownership
of the means of life—the tools of production and
distribution, the banks, railroads, factories, mills,
mines and land-is as evil as the private owner-
ship bypa-rich minority of a kingdom, dictator-
ship or a so-railed republic. As Theodore Roose-
velt has aptly put it, “the tool user should be
the tool owner."
CONCLUSION
Franklin D Roosevelt has wisely suggested
a goal of the four Great Freedoms for all the
nations of earth—Freedom of Speech. Freedom
of Religion, Freedom from Want and Freedom
from Fear But these Great Freedoms can not
be attained except by the extension and comple-
tion of the Four Great Revolutions over all the
world. Each nation'must take the four great
steps previously mentioned and all nations must
fraternally agree to the 5th. great step. To re-
capitulate, the necessary steps are as follows:
1st step—The Divine Right of kings must
be abolished in all countries.
2nd step-Equality of all men must be es-
tablished in a genuine and universal brother-
hood fully in accord with the precept of the
Christian Revolution___
3rd step—The people must establish and use
their right to rule on any matter they wish
which affects the general welfare At present
the most important matter upon which a ma-
jority of the people could and should rule is the
matter of prices, wages and incomes Upon this
matter the ignorant and brutal rich have always
l
4th. step— The private ownership of public
property must be abolished. This la necessary
in order to get rid of a fascist economy or a rule
bv the ignorant and brutal rich minority.
5th. step— All nations must agree to com-
plete disarmament on land, sea and air tn com-
pliance with Christ’s Golden Rule Russia made
" this proposition to all the great nations several
years ago at the League of Nations. But the
ruling rich minorities In the other nations did
not wish to disarm because arms and armies
are necessary to maintain such minorities In
power When the 5th. step is taken by all the
nations the people may then "beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into pruning
hooks,” as prophesied in the Bible- Micah 4-3.
Roosevelt has hinted at this 5th. step in his
projected good neighbor policy among the na-
tions Certainly good neighbors do not need
to earns guns but rather do they love one an-
other. J. *
Neither the Baruch plan nor any other plan
of the rich minority ran possibly prevent nost- ,
war unemployment and starvation for millions
of Americans The common people must have
their own organized plan for full employment
and a better standard of living than they have
ever known
The rich really mean by the term "Free
American Enterprise” their privilege to con-
tinue owning and controlling everything that
, is necessary to the economic life of the nation.
A really free enterprise means the right of
everyone to useful and well paid employment
regardless of the will and greed of a rich
minority.
