E o) M 6) rJlERRY Daily Picture of What's (oing On in National Affairs By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN BYHALIA, Miss. They have let loose another Huey Long down here in the lower Mississippi valley. The likeness is remarkable. There is the same swagger, the shouting, the showmanship, showman-ship, the cigars, the brass voice, the physical endurance, the thunderous warning against the "invisible empire of wealth." Shut your eyes and you would almost swear that the sweating, gyrating, fulminating figure on the platform before you was the Kingfish of Ixmisiana himself. Yet it is none other than Theodore Theo-dore G. Bilbo, ex-governor of Mississippi, Mis-sissippi, ex-newspaper-clipper for the AAA in Washington, and now the chief reason why the Mississippi Missis-sippi . senatorial primary is the most picturesque in the country. In Mississippi, the Democratic nomination means election. What is now happening, therefore, is not an ordinary primary, but in effect, the final campaign. Next to having Al Smith in the senate, there is probably nothing that would please the man in the White House less than having to team-mate for Huey Long ensconced en-sconced in the august upper chamber cham-ber ready to berate, obstruct and filibuster. And yet through the bungling of someone around the White House it looks as if that was what might happen. v . But before going into the backstage back-stage maneuverings, get a picture of the second Huey Long at work. They turn out to hear Bilbo much as they turn out to see a fire-eater at the county fair. Dressed in a grey sack suit torn at the sleeve, he smokes a cigar waiting: to be introduced. His red tie is adorned with a horse-shoe sparkler. Completely at ease, he turns and spits out the window. Half an hour before, sitting on the front porch of the Byhalia boarding house, feet upon a ger-mlum ger-mlum box, you might have mistaken mis-taken Bilbo for a drygoods salesman sales-man out of Memphis. But once behind be-hind the microphone he takes on an air of blatant assurance. "There are two invisible governments govern-ments in Washington, a seen and unseen," he roars, resorting to the dramatic device of the audible intake in-take of breath through the. nostrils. nost-rils. "Yea, an invisible empire Which working insidiously on the inside, has run this country for 125 years. "You see in the papers the "aether day a picture of the fifteen million dollar home in Florida of ' k man who sells you plows and Barrows, and gets rich from you and from me. And how cfo these people and their worthless children chil-dren spend their ttme? Lying around in their bathingXsuits on the beaches of Florida, or bathing bath-ing the cool waters of the southern seas-all at your expense."

Then, in a few minutes, with no break in the tirade; he picks up the handkerchief again, repeats the ritual. "Send me to the senate," Bilbo yells, "and I'll see to it that you soldier boys are paid the bonus. Where will I get the money? I'll take it from these grafters who are makingi their vile millions (Continued on Page Five) Heavy Demand For Rooms Is Repotted An unusually heavy demand for board of room and light housekeeping house-keeping rooms for Brigham Young university students is reported by .IJniWayne B.

Losing Business The cabaret proprietor told the commissioners that he lost more than merely the one hour's business, the difference between be-tween his closing hour and that of Orem.

He also said that surrounding counties are Retting some of Utah county's business because of the more stringent regulations here. Mr. Robertson stated that the county must adopt a closing hour "somewhere along the line" and midnight had been aereed upon. Commissioner C. H.

Action Is Urged Frank G. Martines, mayor of Richfield and president of the association, as-sociation, in opening discussion on the highway improvement program pro-gram pointed out that the benefit to the state from the vast expenditures expendi-tures already made on highway 89 from Thistle to the Arizona state line are largely nullified because of the remaining unimproved stretch, four and a half miles from Thistle to Birdseye, the northern entrance of the road. The state and federal government have already al-ready expended $3,500,000, including includ-ing a $30,000 viaduct at Thistle. The entire stretch on No. 89 is up to federal standards with the ex ception of the four and a half miles on '4e north end. Promises have been made that work on the Salina canyon highway high-way would be started before fall and that the Thistle-Birdseye project proj-ect would be one of the first contracts con-tracts to be let this summer, said Mr. Martines. Nothing has been done as yet, he declared. Governor Blood and Preston G. Peterson, state road commission-1 quet held Saturday night.

Ends White House To Prevent Fight On Speakership ; Three Southern Congressmen Mentioned to Succeed ! Speaker Rainey WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 (U.R) The death of Speaker of the House Henry T. Rainey thrust a major political problem prob-lem before the Roosevelt administration ad-ministration today, involving safeguarding of important new deal legislation in the next congress. Secret Tnstructions from the White House may ultimately be necessary to avoid a "dog fight" for the important speakership of the 74th congress and to assure party harmony in the house. Early "Lone Wolf" Rainey's death, mourned by official of-ficial Washington, took from the administration a faithful congressional congress-ional servant. A "lono wolf" in his earlier years in congress, Rainey became an administration stalwart as speaker. In iron handed hand-ed fashion which belied his gentle demeanor, he saw to it. that the entire "new deal" layout in the 73rd v congress was shot - thtaOttgh. the house with uncanny speed. Among those prominently mentioned men-tioned today as Rainey's .successor were House Majority Leader Joseph Jos-eph W. Byrons, D., Tenn.; Rep. John McDuffie, D., Ala., and Rep. William Bankhead, D., Ala. Rainey showed occasionally in the last session that he was not entirely amenable to White House influence on his pet subject- silver. sil-ver. An original Bryan "16-to-l" advocate, he constantly urged the White House to remonetize silver. A Democrat of the old school, he was an authority on the tariff---and wanted it low. Rainey loved companions. He liked to mingle with congressional friends, and hated to turn down a banquet invitation. Even during the height of congressional activity activ-ity last session, he would make overnight airplane hops for after dinner speaking engagements. He believed the house should be dignified, dig-nified, and refused to permit a tap-dancing, song singing festival in the chamber on adjournment. His wife was his constant companion com-panion and for years his right hand secretary. She kept an eagle eye on visitors to his office and deftly shunted away those not wanted. Since 1903, when he first came to congress, he has been a familiar sight on capital streets. His long flowing black tie his old black pipe, and his silver hair, made him one of the few remaining picturesque pic-turesque congressional figures. PAYSON DEMOS HOLD PRIMARY PAYSON The younger element of the Payson Democracy seized control of the Democratic primary held here Saturday night to name their own slate for the convention.

Aug. 20 (U.R) Henry Thomas Rainey, speaker of the national house of representatives, died suddenly sud-denly of angina pectoris in De P3411I hospital at 7:50 o'clock last night while convalescing from a mild attack of bronchial bron-chial pneumonia. He would have been 74 years old today. Only three hours before the end. the speaker's wife and a sisteri who had been with him throughout the day, left for their home at Carrollton, 111., on the assurance of attending physicians his condition condi-tion wan thoroughly satisfactory under the circumstances. Tells of Presentment Despite the assurances, after two consultations held at her request, re-quest, Mrs. Rainey told the United Press she had what she described as "a presentiment" on leaving her husband that it was the last time she would ever see him alive. "I told him goodbye, feeling that was our final parting," the speaker's speak-er's wife said. "As I left the room. I heard him ask the nurse, 'has she sone?' immediately I took off mv n.ii anu returned, saying: dear, I have not gone vet' i, . . i No, "We had a nice final talk. He seemed very happy, and much better bet-ter when I did leave. I, of course, said nothing to him of my pre sentiment, and I was sure he was near death.

Ordered To Ii.nl Rainey entered the ho.-spital two weeks ago in an attempt to shake of bronchial trouble contracted during the -summer political campaign cam-paign on behalf of "new deal' candidates. can-didates. He was ordered to take complete mental and physical rest to regain his strength for the arduous ard-uous legislative duties of the winter. Mrs. Rainey attributed the heart condition to the strain of speaking in exceptionally hot weather which prevailed during the past month. Plans for the funeral were not immediately formulated. The speaker had expressed' a wish his body be cremated, which Mrs. Rainey said would be done. It was understood a simple family funeral fu-neral service would be held at Carrollton. where the speaker was born on Aug. 20, I860 Pioneer Sons Meet Tuesday All members of the Provo organization or-ganization of the Sons of Utah Pioneers are urged to attend a meeting in the city court, Tuesday at 7:30 p. m. according to a call issued today by Robert Boardman president.
