Louisiana gubernatorial election, 1952

The Louisiana gubernatorial election of 1952 was held in two rounds on January 15 and February 19, 1952. Like most Southern statesbetween Reconstruction and the civil rights era, Louisiana's
Republican Party was virtually nonexistent in terms of electoralsupport. This meant that the two Democratic Party primaries held on these dates were the real contest over who would be governor. The 1952 election saw the defeat of Long candidate Carlos Spaht, and the election of Robert F. Kennon as governor.
