J. D. Batton
John David Batton, known as J. D. Batton (February 13, 1911 – February 10, 1981),〔"Former Chief, J. D. Batton, Succumbs", ''Minden Press-Herald'', February 10, 1981, p. 1〕 was from 1952 to 1964 the sheriff of his native Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana. He was defeated after three terms by O. H. Haynes, Jr., a fellow Democrat and the son of the sheriff, O. H. Haynes, Sr., whom Batton had himself unseated twelve years earlier.
==Background==
Born in the parish seat of Minden, Batton was the older of two sons of James Bryant Batton (1880-1939) and Nolie K. Batton (1881-1971). Batton graduated in 1929 from Minden High School and for a year thereafter attended Tyler Commercial College in Tyler, Texas.〔"J. D. Batton Issues Statement Giving Candidacy", ''Minden Herald'', October 24, 1947, pp. 1, 5〕
Batton's father, J. B. Batton, a native of rural Dubberly in south Webster Parish,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=James Bryant Batton )〕 was a former Webster Parish deputy sheriff, a two-term Minden police chief,〔''Minden Herald'', October 24, 1947, p. 1〕 and an unsuccessful candidate for sheriff in a Democratic primary election conducted on June 6, 1933. Held barely a month after a devastating tornado struck the city on May 1, this special election was required to replace Sheriff Arthur Montgomery Hough (1873-1933), who died on May 7 after a long fight with influenza.〔"Parish Pays Final Tribute to Sheriff Hough Monday", ''Minden Signal-Tribune'' (former newspaper), May 9, 1933, p. 1〕
As the chief deputy under Sheriff Hough, the senior O. H. Haynes won the special election in which 80 percent of registered voters cast ballots. His bare majority, 50.8 percent of the vote, negated the need for a runoff election. The runner-up in the race, with 22.2 percent, was Louie A. Jones (1900-1965),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Louie A. Jones (1900-1965) )〕 the assistant superintendent of the Louisiana State Police who had earlier been a personal bodyguard of Governor Huey Pierce Long, Jr., and subsequently the warden of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola in West Feliciana Parish. After his failure to become sheriff, Jones lived thereafter in Baton Rouge. Another candidate, J. D. Huckaby, was the president of the Webster Parish Police Jury, the parish governing body akin to the county commission in other states. J. Bryant Batton finished last in the race with 7.8 percent of the ballots cast; he won a plurality only in his native Dubberly. Haynes, Sr., held the sheriff's position for nineteen years.
