Louisiana gubernatorial election, 1920

The Louisiana gubernatorial election of 1920 was held on January 20, 1920. Like most Southern states between Reconstruction and the civil rights era, Louisiana's
Republican Party was virtually nonexistent in terms of electoralsupport. This meant that the Democratic Party primary held on this date was the real contest over who would be governor. The election resulted in the election of John M. Parker as governor of Louisiana.
