HUEY LONG AND ROBERT PROPHIT

Most of Louisiana's newspapers, however, opposed Gov. Huey Long, including many rural weeklies, the New Orleans Item and its morning edition, the Tribune, as well as the state’s leading paper, the Times-Picayune. These papers ridiculed Long’s cowardice, capitalizing on two instances when Long had quarreled with someone, hit them, and then run. One of the persons was a small-stature, one-legged legislator named Robert Prophit; the other, the fifty-nine-year-old, hefty former governor, J.Y. Sanders.
