Heading the Republican ticket that year was [[Charlton Lyons]], a Shreveport oilman who challenged Democrat [[John J. McKeithen]] for [[governor]]. Lyons polled the strongest vote in decades for a then rare Republican nominee in Louisiana.<ref>''Shreveport Journal'', March 4, 1964, p. 1.</ref> Guin described Lyons as "a good man who wanted to change the political complexion of Louisiana. He built the Republican Party in its present form. He was a great campaigner, and there was much grassroots fervor. When he began to make inroads, the [[sheriff]]s and other Democratic officeholders proceeded to block his election."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/54570612|title=Charlton Havard "Big Papa" Lyons, Sr.|publisher=findagrave.com|accessdate=July 24, 2014}}</ref>​

In 1978, the Shreveport commission government was abolished through a federal court order citing the at-large election system as having operated "invidiously to minimize or cancel the voting power of black electors."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.casetext.com/case/blacks-u-for-lasting-leadership-v-c-of-shreveport#.U9KZbct0wfg|title=''Blacks United for Lasting Leadership v. City of Shreveport|date=1976|publisher=casetext.com|accessdate=July 25, 2014}}</ref> With the commissioners' positions effectively abolished, Guin hence ran for mayor under the new and still serving mayor-council government. His opponents were the Democrats Donald E. Hathaway, his council colleague who headed the Department of Public Works, and William T. "Bill" Hanna, an automobile dealer who ultimately won the position. Less than two years after his  election to the last city council under the commission government, Guin finished with only 1,888 votes (3.4 percent).<ref>''The Shreveport Times'', September 17, 1978, p. 1.</ref>​
