1950 Bring Several Upsets
(Br United Preu)
The first political returns of 1950 were in today from primary
elections in Louisiana, Massachusetts and New Jersey. The re
sults were:
Louisiana Mayor Delesseps S. Morrison of New Orleans, foe
of Gov. Earl Long, was assured re-election by winning the
democratic nomination by as
two-to-one majority over four
opponents.
Massachusetts Lt. Cmdr,
William H. Bates won the repub
lican nomination by a landslide
for the house seat left vacant
by the death of his father. For
mer Congressman Richard M
Russell won the democratic
nomination by a narrow margin
over three opponents.
New Jersey State Legisla
tor William B. Widnall beat the
republican organizational candi
date In a close race for nomina
tion to the congressional seat
left vacant when republican Rep.
J. Parnell Thomas was jailed for
payroll padding. George T.
English took the democratic
nomination unopposed.
Morrison's victory yesterday
over his principal opponent,
Charles Zatarian, was consider
ed rebuff for the long organiza
tion which had hoped to oust the
38-year-old reform mayor.
Bates, a handsome 35-year-old
naval officer who was barred
from active campaigning by
service regulations, defeated his
nearest opponent, C. F. Nelson
Pratt, by a six to one vote in
Massachusetts' Sixth congres
sional district.
Bates will compete with Rus
sell, who edged out State Sen.
John W. Coddaire for the demo
cratic nomination by a few hun
dred votes, for the congressional
seat at a special election Feb
ruary 14.
Widnall handed the Bergen
county, N.J., republican organ
ization a surprise set-back by
defeating the party favorite
Harry C. Harper, a former big
league baseball pitcher, for the
nomination in New Jersey's
Seventh congressional district.
