Heflin, Fiery Alabama Politician, Dies in Lafayette
J Thomas Heflin, known as Cotton Tom for championing cotton prices, dies at home in Lafayette after a volatile political career. A former U S Senator and eight-term congressman, Heflin split from the Democratic party over Al Smith’s nomination, defeating opponents including Hoover in early campaigns. He was a notorious firebrand, critic of Wall Street and the Roman Catholic hierarchy, and a staunch white supremacist aligned with long political stances.
