HONOR CENTENARIAN | SAYS POLITICS HAS NO FURTHER CHARM FOR HIM FORMER SENATOR JOSEPH E. RANSDELL OF LOUISIANA DECIDES TO CLOSE WASH- INGTON OFFICE By HERBERT PLUMMER (By Associated Prey) WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—De- cision of former Senator Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana to close up his Washington office and go |home to fight Huey Long’s _polit- lical rule in the state promises more truble for the “Kingfish.” Long defeated Ransdell for the senate in 1930, bringing to a close Ransdell’s 32 years’ service in congress. The Louisianan had spent 14 years in the house and 18 in the senate—a record in his state for continuous service. It was a severe blow to Ransdell, but he took it gamely. He set up an office in the capital as a sort of managing director for the na- tional institution of health, the organization created by legislation There came word that he was through with politics, that never again would be run for public of- fice. Any effort to get him to situation in Louisiana usually was met with a polite but firm refusal. He wasn’t interested— ‘Kingfish’ Irks Him But he has made no attempt to comment publicly on the political | 1 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1933. conceal his dislike for Long. The tactics of the “Kingfish” appeared of grave concern to him. Before leaving W: aaananee for Louisiana he announced definitely that he would align himself with those forces in the state out to dethrone Long. He promised that his activity in this direction would be most vigorous. He is a vet- eran campaigner. The former senator, now 75 years old, is still alert and ener- getic. Just what he has in mind, no one seems to know. He still in- sists that he is not an office-seek- er, that his sole purpose in re- turning to Luisiana is to “restore a good state of affairs” there. On The Other Hand But those who know him inti- mately are aware that the senate holds first place in his affections. His defeat in 1930 was a stagger- ing blow, and some believe that he has hopes of returning, There are those who think that Long’s political star is waning in Louisiana, in view of his difficul- ties with the administration over IBOAT SEEN MAY BE PRICE CRAFT C.
