  • Earl Kemp Long (August 26, 1895 – September 5, 1960) was an American politician and three-time Democratic governor of Louisiana, who termed himself the "last of the red hot poppas" of politics, referring to his stump-speaking skills. He served from 1939–1940, 1948–1952, and 1956–1960. He was also lieutenant governor, having served from 1936–1939, but he failed in three other bids to be elected lieutenant governor. In 1932, he lost to state House Speaker John B. Fournet of Jennings in Jefferson Davis Parish; in 1944, he was defeated in a runoff by J. Emile Verret of Iberia Parish, and in 1959, the position went to the conservative Clarence C. "Taddy" Aycock of Franklin in St. Mary Parish. In that first defeat, Earl's brother, Huey Pierce Long, Jr. , endorsed Fournet, but the rest of the Long family stood with Earl. The outraged Earl, at thirty-six, called Huey "the yellowest physical coward that God had ever let live. " Huey Long said of Earl: "Earl is my brother but he's crooked. If you live long enough he'll double cross you. He'd double cross Jesus Christ if He was down here on earth. " (Quoted in Richard D. White, Jr. , Kingfish, Random House, p. 137) In the 1944 contest, Earl Long lost to a man whose previous political position had been no higher than a school board presidency. In the latter contest, Aycock won a second primary over the mayor of Alexandria, W. George Bowdon, Jr. , as Long failed even to secure a runoff berth. At the time of his death, Long's last term as governor had expired, and he was the Democratic nominee in the now defunct Eighth Congressional District, based in central Louisiana.

У 1936-1939 рр. він був заступником губернатора Луїзіани і ще як мінімум тричі мав можливість зайняти цю посаду. Проте в 1932 р. Ерл поступився спікеру легіслатури штату Джону Б. Форнету (John B. Fournet), в 1944 р. Дж. Емілю Верету (J. Emile Verret), а у 1959 консервативно налаштованому Кларенсу Айкоку (Clarence C. Aycock). Перший раз Форнета підтримав брат Ерла Х’юї, оскільки незважаючи на родинні стосунки в політиці відносини між братами не складались.
