CC 73 and the Birth of the Modern Louisiana Two- Party System Wayne Parent* Jeremy Mhire** The 1973' Louisiana Constitutional Convention ("CC 73") happened at a significant moment in Louisiana's political history. It occurred at precisely the same time that Louisiana's present competitive two-party system was born. While the emergence of a two-party system in Louisiana was slow, even when compared to those of the other formerly Democratic dominant states in the Deep South, it was dramatic and has had lasting effects. CC 73 helped define the coalitions that formed the basis of our present competitive two-party system. This article will first place the constitutional convention into the temporal context of this dynamic political period in Louisiana and the American South. Then it will describe how the specific coalitions that formed in the convention became concrete precursors to our present party system and speculate on the difference it has made to present day Louisiana politics.

  • Chancellor Livingston, I Presume”
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard “Chancellor Livingston, I Presume” In November of 1871, “New York Herald” correspondent (and tireless self-promoter) Henry Morton Stanley (January 28, 1841 – May 10, 1904) found David Livingstone at Ujiji near Lake Tanganyika in present-day Tanzania. It was there that he would utter (at least according to his journal) these simple words: “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” For his explorations and service to the British Empire in Africa, he became Sir Henry Morton Stanley upon being made a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath in 1899. Henry Morton Stanley and Kalulu, companion and adopted son But in New Orleans in 1859, the words of a eighteen-year-old boy were quite different. The Welsh born illegitimate son of John Rowlands and Elisabeth Parry blurted out to a gentleman dressed in a sober dark alpaca suit and tall hat: “Do you want a boy, sir?” That man, Henry Hope Stanley, was a merchant in the cotton business. He is listed in the 1855 New Orleans City Directory as being with the firm of Barnes, Stanley & Co. and working with the Mississippi Cotton Press on Tchoupitoulas Street. Stanley was reading his newspaper that day in front of Speake & McCreary’s store at No. 3 Tchoupitoulas, when he looked up to view a needy but eager youth looking for a job. Stanley recommended the young man to James Speake, the store’s proprietor, who hired Rowlands as an employee. In New Orleans, the father-son relationship between Rowlands and Stanley grew.
