Huey Long was assassinated by the son-in-law of a judge whom Long had redistricted thus removing the judge's position. Although it would be likely that the son-in-law, Carl Weiss, likely was ideologically motivated against Long before the redistricting. And they were likely others that wanted Huey Long dead.

MODERATORS
His so called deduct box, where every state employee kicked back a percent, as all political machines generally worked back then, is one of the most searched for treasures in the country.
Long is my favorite us politician. That is what we need, someone that can build and run a political machine. Not these weak kneed democrats working for oligarchs that are more afraid of moderate reform than a supreme leader ending the republic in all but name.
