Huey P. Long, governor and later senator from Louisiana in the 1920's and 1930's, was never "offered" a position by anyone. This is an example of hyperbole, and is practically an urban legend. It is based on an anecdote related to the (supposed) offer to George Washington to be "King" of the US. The Shreveport Journal newspaper did once refer to him as "emperor of Louisiana".
Huey P. Long (1893-1935) was known as the "Kingfish", and a dominant force in Louisiana politics for nearly 15 years. He was known nationwide for his populist policies, and was truly an American demagogue. His political power intimidated many of the most powerful figures in the US and he had aspirations to become President. He was assassinated in the Louisiana state capitol building, being shot on August 8, 1935 and dying two days later.
