In his speeches, this man compared wealthy industrialists to a man taking too much food at a barbecue, and the two-party system to a patent medicine seller's products. After his first run for governor, this man blamed his loss on muddy roads and the Ku Klux Klan, but won the election four years later. This man was both Senator and Governor of his home state for two years, and resigned from the latter after ousting a rebellious Lieutenant Governor. Although he initially supported the New Deal, he later abandoned it in favor of his Share Our Wealth program. Public figures who endorsed this man before the 1936 election include Milo Reno and Father Charles Coughlin. Before this man could run for President, he was assassinated in Baton Rouge in 1935. For ten points, name this populist Governor of Louisiana known as "the Kingfish."
