Louisiana Roundup Defeats Longist and Old Regular Candidates
Louisiana voters in the second primary rejected candidates advocating Huey Long era liberalism and backed Jimmie H. Davis for governor. Morgan trailed in New Orleans as the old regular faction failed to deliver a metropolitan majority. Verret looked strong for lieutenant governor, while Leblanc led in attorney general across precincts. Nationwide, Republicans and Democrats weighed defeats and leadership shifts as Dewey and Byrd era candidates stirred national discussion. Willkie's Nebraska petition drive moved forward as southern delegates promised potential backing for Byrd at the Democratic convention.
