Long, Edward V. (1908-1972).
Scrapbooks, 1954-1967. 5 volumes
Edward V. Long was a U.S. senator from Missouri from 1960 to 1968. In 1945, he was
elected to the Missouri Senate, where he served until elected lieutenant governor in 1956. He
resigned that post in 1960 to accept appointment as U.S. senator, filing the vacancy created by
the death of Senator Thomas C. Hennings, Jr., and was elected to complete the term. On
November 6, 1962, he won re-election to a full six-year term. His political fortunes began to ebb
in 1967 when Life magazine published an article charging that Senator Long had misused an
investigation into possible federal wiretapping to keep then teamster president Jimmy Hoffa out
of jail. Another Life article in 1968 accused Long of intervening to have a public housing project
in St. Louis redesigned to use gas instead of electric heat. The story said Long acted to favor a
pipefitters local union that Life said contributed to Long's campaign fund. He was defeated in
1968 by Thomas Eagleton. During the course of his Senate career, Long was known as a
champion of citizen's constitutional rights. He successfully opposed passage of legislation in
1963 to legalize wiretapping, which he called "an insidious attempt to wipe out the right of
privacy." He married Florence Secor. He died in 1972 at his home in Eolia, Missouri.
Five scrapbooks of newsclippings, pamphlets, invitations, etc., concerning the political career
of Edward V. Long. Two of the scrapbooks are devoted to his investigation into the wiretapping
issue.
