Art Sour
Arthur William Sour, Jr., known as Art Sour (November 6, 1924 – January 10, 2000), was a Shreveport businessman and a pioneer in developing a competitive Republican Party in his native Louisiana. A conservative, Sour served in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1972-1992. He was born in Shreveport to Arthur W. Sour (1895–1972) and Adele Sour (1897–1977). He graduated from C.E. Byrd High School and served in the United States Army during World War II, during which he was wounded in action. He earned his livelihood in oil and real estate.
==Running for the Louisiana legislature==
Sour first ran for the legislature in 1964 on the Charlton Lyons gubernatorial ticket, but he was defeated by Democrats in a multi-district race. In 1964, two Republican legislative candidates, Taylor O'Hearn and Morley Hudson, were elected, but Sour and two other Republicans were defeated, Billy Guin, later the last Shreveport public utilities commissioner, and Edd Fielder Calhoun (1931–2012), an insurance agent and civic figure originally from Oklahoma City.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Obituary of Fielder Calhoun )〕 In 1968, Sour lost again in a race for the Louisiana House; all of the Caddo Parish Republican candidates were defeated that year except Owen Adams of Greenwood, a member of the parish police jury (commission in other states ).〔State of Louisiana, General election returns, February 6, 1968〕 Sour rebounded in 1972 to win a House seat, which he then held for twenty years.
