Semmes Walmsley. The campaign has been bizarre, with Mr Long supported in various movements by National Guard troops, while the mayor used the city forces. Mr Long intends to press the investigation of his charges of graft and corruption in city administration with the purpose of ousting Mr Walmsley.
