In the field were three candidates: an independent, a Longster named John Klorer and Mayor Thomas Semmes Walmsley seeking re-election for the first time. Buzzard-bald Mayor Walmsley heads the Choctaw Club, New Orleans' Tammany. In 1930 the Choctaws joined up with the Long State machine but cut loose last summer when it became apparent that the blatant demagog's personal prestige was definitely waning as a result of his outrageous carryings...
