As a councilman, Baden often clashed with Mayor [[Floyd Smith]], a fellow Democrat and a member of the [[Huey Long|Long]] political dynasty who did not seek a second term but instead ran successfully in 1970 for councilman at-large, a position that he soon vacated in order to run, unsuccessfully, for state senator against the incumbent [[Cecil R. Blair]]. Smith was elected mayor in 1966, when he upset fellow Democrat [[Elmo Futrell|P. Elmo Futrell, Jr.]], a Pineville [[real estate]] appraiser.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/85144493/|title=Municipal; Election Returns Cited|publisher=''The Monroe News-Star''|date=April 9, 1962|page=5|accessdate=July 16, 2015}}</ref>
