N.R.A. OPPONENT
LONG SPEECH FAILS.
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
WASHINGTON, June 13.
Relentlessly waiting, him out, the Senate watched Huey Long speak himself into a collapse, after fifteen and a-half hours of continuous talk. He was then no longer able to utter anything above a whisper, and he was so weary that he had to be helped from the Chamber.
The Democratic leaders, after this, whipped through the N.R.A. stopgap measures by 41 votes to' T 3. It was the second .longest filibuster in the history of Congress. Senator La Follette in 1908 spoke for eighteen -hours.
One group of Senators declared: “We are disposed to sit here indefinitely in order to stop Long from controlling this body.
