From the Paper:

" In the novel, Stark's power structure crumbles with his death, but in reality, the Long Dynasty of political power continued numerous years after Huey Long's death. Stark alienated his family, but such alienation never occurred within Long's family. He used the spoils system to ensure his hold of power in the state. After his death, Long's wife completed his term in the senate and his son followed in the footsteps of his father into the U.S. Senate. His brother was a member of the U.S. House and another brother was the governor of Louisiana for three terms (LeVert 76). "
