John Julian McKeithen
"I wasn't born to material wealth, nor do I have claim to an
aristocratic name. But if I am elected governor, it will prove that any
mother's son can aspire to the highest political office of this state.
I've come this far because you the people have given me your support - with
all the professional politicians, power brokers, and big money people fighting
me every step of the way. Because I owe you so much, you can be assured when
I raise my hand to take the oath of office as Governor of Louisiana, there
will be a prayer in my heart that God will always guide me to do what is best
for the state and all the people in it. We'll win this race, but I need your
help. Won't you help me?"
McKeithen on the Campaign Trail in 1964

Cherished Grandmother
AN EXCELLENT WIFE AND MOTHER. HER WORTH IS FAR ABOVE JEWELS. THE HEART
OF HER HUSBAND TRUSTS IN HER AND HE WILL HAVE NO LACK OF GAIN. SHE DOES HIM GOOD
AND NOT EVIL ALL THE DAYS OF HER LIFE. SHE WORKS WITH HER HANDS IN DELIGHT, STRENGTH
AND DIGNITY ARE HER CLOTHING. SHE LOOKS WELL TO THE WAYS OF HER HOUSEHOLD AND DOES NOT
EAT THE BREAD OF IDLENESS. HER CHILDREN RISE UP AND CALL HER BLESSED. CHARM IS DECEITFUL
AND BEAUTY IS VAIN, BUT A WOMAN WHO FEARS THE LORD SHE SHALL BE PRAISED GIVE HER THE
PRODUCT OF HER HANDS AND LET HER WORKS PRAISE HER AT THE GATES. Proverbs 31
Jesse Jay McKeithen
