When Governor Long certified his election to the Senate last March, Lieutenant Governor Cyr claimed that by that action he ceased to be Governor. Louisiana's senior Senator Edwin Sidney Broussard agreed with him. To protect his right to office, wary Governor Long was careful never to leave the State unaccompanied by Dr. Cyr. Last week Governor Long was in New Orleans. Lieutenant Governor Cyr was at his home in Jeanerette. Suddenly one night Lieutenant Governor Cyr left home, drove to Shreveport, had a deputy court clerk administer the oath of office as Governor. Then he wrote Governor Long...
...only sugar consumers in their States and up for re-election this year, went over to the Coalition. Three Progressive Republicans from beet-sugar-growing States (Howell of Nebraska, Nye and Frazier of North Dakota) supported a higher rate.

...sugar sector, which was passed over earlier because of its especially controversial nature. The four-cornered sugar lineup: domestic beet producers, led by Utah's Senator Smoot, for a 2.75? per Ib. import rate (Cuban: 2.20?); domestic cane producers, led by Louisiana's Senators Ransdell and Broussard, for the House rate of 3? per Ib.

Senator King of Utah (beets) and Senator Broussard of Louisiana (cane) offered amendments to cut the Islands loose and thereby put their sugar production outside the U. S. tariff wall. Their amendments were defeated, but the agitation for getting rid of the Philippines to reduce agricultural competition by no means subsided. U. S. husbandmen producing vegetable oils warmed...
Senator George William Norris, grey and cadaverous, was on his feet at his Senate desk. The chamber, emptied by an hour-long tariff speech by Senator Broussard of Louisiana, began filling up. In his rear-row seat Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut kept shifting his long legs nervously. His well-cut white head was bent forward; his eyes strayed toward Senator Norris, dropped, scanned the chamber. Senator Jones of Washington glanced up from the workaday stack of books and papers on his desk. Senator Johnson of California in the front row swung his red chair halfway round to watch...
