Eddie Nuton Payne, known as E. N. Payne (May 7, 1873[1] – 1951),[2] was a Democrat from Springhill, Louisiana, who represented Webster Parish in the Louisiana House of Representatives for one term from 1932 to 1936.[3]
A native of Arkansas,[2] Payne succeeded J. S. Bacon of Heflin in south Webster Parish. In 1936, Payne was unseated in a runoff election by , a 28-year-old educator from Springhill. Payne had led in the primary election with 2,183 votes to Boucher's 1,729. In third place was , later the mayor of Minden from 1940 to 1942, with 1,181 votes. A fourth candidate, E. H. Bolin, a prominent member of the Webster Parish School Board and the father of later Representative and Judge James E. Bolin, finished last with 746 ballots.[4]
Both Payne and Boucher were supporters of the late Governor and U.S. Senator Huey Pierce Long, Jr.[5] Boucher visited nearly every home in Webster Parish to achieve his narrow victory, 2,778 votes (52.9 percent) to Payne's 2,474 (47.1 percent).[6]
From 1912 to 1920, Payne had been the Ward 2 member of the Webster Parish Police Jury,[7] the parish governing body akin to the county commission in other states.
Payne and his wife, Mary E. Payne (1874–1945), are interred at Springhill Cemetery.[2]
