Thanks much for your trip back into history. Those days are long gone basically except
for history writings and a few that truly go back to those times.

My family comes from Southwest LA and would have been on the opposite side of yours in
that they were Jones backers. In those days they were all democrats but different factions.
I personally had some connection with Bob Jones in years past when he was in the LA Legislature.
He then changed to the GOP but never ran again for office after his defeat by Edwin Edwards
in the governorship race.

Thanks for sharing and take care.

History has been kind to Sam Jones, and most historians agree that he was a “reform” politician. I like to think I would have been one of his supporters, had I been old enough.

IIRC, I voted for Bob Jones in 1975 against EWE.
