Huey Upheld the People. In retrospect, now that only the memory remains, Louisianians are recalling Hueys career. They remember how he upheld the rights of the people as state railroad commissioner ; how he was licked for the governorship in 1924 but came back to win in 1928; how through shrewd political maneuvering he became Louisianas lord and master.
