National Democratic policies that alienated the state party in 1948 were opposed by a majority of S. jC. county Democratic conventions ! Tuesday. At least 28 of the state’s 46 coun ty biennial conventions came out I against the national party and its | civil rights platform. ; Thirteen of these specifically en- | dorsed the state party’s 1948 stand i against the national party, and its support of states’ rights presidential candidate Gov. J. Strom Thurmond. The officers adopted resolutions critical of the national party line, or filed their offices with known proponents of states’ rights policies. Eight declined to commit them selves. Three apparently were for the na- i tional party. Anderson elected an executive committeeman, the son of a 1948 Truman elector. Greenville and Pickens roundly defeated states’ rights resolutions. Bpartanburg was non-committal. It and Anderson were the only two counties to go for Truman in the 1948 election. Negro delegates attending some of the conventions were a reminder of the federal court ruling of 1948 that opened up the traditional white par ty and brought on the national-state party split. Waring Critic Defeated Federal District Judge J. Waites Waring of Charleston, who made the ruling, was blasted verbally by defeated state executive committee candidate James H. Hammond at the Richland county meeting. Hammond, committeeman for sev eral years and an ardent states’ Tighter, called Waring “contempti ble.” Hammond was defeated for re- election by a close vote after three ballots. Columbia attorney David W. i Robinson was elected. The county conventions chose del egates to the state convention at Columbia April 19, as well as elect ing one member each to the state executive committee. The state convention will decide party policies for the next two years, the executive committee will carry them out. Charleston delegates to the state convention were instructed to sup port the 1948 stand. Richland County adopted a wat ered-down states’ rights resolution criticizing federal interference in state affairs. Spartanburg elected both U. S. Sen. Olin D. Johnston and state gubernatorial candidate James F. Byrnes to be state delegates. Williams Shouted Down Former Governor J. Ransome Wil liams was shouted down at Marion when he attempted to speak before the county convention. The conven tion requires that each candidate for delegate to the state meeting tsate his political views, and when Williams rose, the clamor grew un til he had to sit down again, .un heard.
