He was the first major Southern politician to put aside appeals to racism. His political machine was both very powerful and ruthless. He appealed to the poverty-stricken rural population of the state because of his apparent willingness despoil the rich and give to the poor, reflecting his own humble origins. The building of bridges, roads, hospitals, and a modern educational system were all sponsored by Long. He was vehemently opposed from conservatives who attempted to remove him from office by impeachment on charges that included bribery and misuse of state funds. Long defeated the move after persuading 15 senators, a sufficient number to thwart impeachment, to sign a round robin that they would not vote to convict. This ordeal hardened him and he decided to build a power structure that his enemies could never prevail against. .
He became even more endeared to the rural poor as he sponsored many reforms that endeared him to the rural poor. He gave himself the nickname "Kingfish" because, he said, "I'm a small fish here in Washington. But I'm the Kingfish to the folks down in Louisiana.".
In 1930, Long, in the middle of his governorship, ran for the U.S. Senate and won. He had a falling out with his Lieutenant Governor, Paul Cyr and was determined not to have Cyr succeed him. He promised the people of Louisiana that he would not leave the office of governor in the hands of his lieutenant governor, "even for a minute". The power struggle between Long and Cyr was almost comical. In October 1931, Cyr went so far as to seek a Justice of the Peace and took the oath of office as governor, stating that Huey had vacated the office as soon as he was chosen U.S. Senator. In a dramatic play, for he was in no real danger of being displaced by Cyr's attempted coup d'etat, Huey called out the National Guard, the sate police, and the highway police. Motorized troops circled the governor's mansion and the governor's office "to prevent Cyr from seizing them," as one story in the Times-Picayune retold.
