Louisiana Election
In Balance
NEW ORLEANS, (/P) — Two
arch-rivals of Louisiana politics
since the days of the “scandals”—
former Governors Earl K. Long
and Sam H. Jones—today were
out in front and close together as
the slow count of yesterday’s
Democratic gubernatorial primary
election continued.
There were four candidates in
the race and it was certain that a
runoff primary, set for Feb. 24,
would be necessary, but hundreds
of country boxes remained to be
tabulated, so it wasn’t yet certain
that Long and Jones would qual
ify as the two highest and there
fore eligible to repeate their runoff
primary battle of 1940. The prize
is a nomination equivalent to elec
tion. , j
i
Unofficial returns from 596 of
the 1.875 precincts in the States
gave Long 74,115 votes, Jones
69,647, Morrison 45,350. and Ken
non 38,574.
