'''Charles Edward Karst''', known as '''Ed Karst''' (September 18, 1931<ref>{{cite web|url=http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=1&new=1&MSAV=1&msT=1&gss=angs-g&gsfn=Charles+Edward&gsln=Karst&msbdy=1931&msbpn__ftp=New+Orleans%2c+Orleans%2c+Louisiana%2c+USA&msbpn=34322&msbpn_PInfo=8-%7c0%7c1652393%7c0%7c2%7c3246%7c21%7c0%7c2249%7c34322%7c0%7c&cpxt=0&catBucket=rstp&uidh=upc&cp=0&pcat=ROOT_CATEGORY&h=90068985&db=USpublicrecords2&indiv=1&ml_rpos=19|title=Charles Karst in the U.S. Public Records Index|publisher=search.ancestry.com|accessdate=January 18, 2015}}</ref> – July 17, 1992), was an [[attorney]] and [[politician]] remembered for his controversial tenure as the [[mayor]] from 1969 to 1973 of [[Alexandria, Louisiana|Alexandria]] in Rapides Parish]] in central [[Louisiana]]. In 1991, Karst launched a bizarre "No Party" [[governor|gubernatorial]] campaign in which he threatened if elected to fire the members of the Louisiana Supreme Court, an elected body over whom the governor has no jurisdiction or, if defeated, as he was, to kill the justices, who had upheld his earlier disbarment. At times, Karst was a member of both the [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] and the [[Republican Party|Republican]] parties, but he ran for governor with the "No Party" label, as permitted in Louisiana.
