Garrison Wins New Orleans Primary Across Racial Lines
New Orleans DA Jim Garrison captured a clear majority in the Democratic primary, avoiding a runoff with 53 percent of the vote. He drew strong support from Negro voters and working class whites, while opponent Harry Connick attracted middle and upper class whites. Garrison’s victory is seen as a rebuke of government and the JFK investigation, with expectations of a third term and a forthcoming general election against a largely unknown Republican.
