Changes

Two young men active in the Adcock campaign for lieutenant governor were Earl Casey of KNOE-TV, the [[CBS]] affiliate in Monroe and later with [[CNN]], and [[James Carville]], a [[liberal]] Democratic consultant originally based in [[New Orleans]].<ref>Leo Honeycutt, ''Edwin Edwards: Governor of Louisiana,'' 2009, p. 76.</ref> Adcock ran strongly enough in the first primary to gain a runoff berth with the front-running former New Orleans city councilman [[Jimmy Fitzmorris|James Edward "Jimmy" Fitzmorris, Jr]]. In fact, with 250,850 votes, he trailed Fitzmorris by just over 6,000 votes. Eliminated in the primary were two candidates from Webster Parish east of [[Shreveport]], state Representative [[Parey Branton]] of Shongaloo and [[Edward Kennon]], a [[Minden, Louisiana|Minden]] contractor and a [[nephew]] of former Governor [[Robert F. Kennon]]. Another unsuccessful candidate was [[P. J. Mills]], like Adcock a banker and an outgoing state representative from Shreveport. Fitzmorris was a convincing winner in the second Democratic primary and went on to win all sixty-four parishes in his race with the [[Republican Party|Republican]] candidate, former state Representative  [[Morley  Hudson]] of Shreveport, in the [[general election]] held on February 1, 1972.

After his ill-fated race for lieutenant governor, Adcock continued to support other Louisiana Democrats, including the state's then two powerful Democratic [[U.S. Senator]]s Russell ]] and [[J. Bennett Johnston, Jr.]]
