It de clared. and properly so, that true Americani.-m. born in the hearts and m.nds of our forefathers, and dearly bought- with their blood and the Wood of our children, is a thing apart Tom any control of local, state, affairs- by a centralizedr government.

P. Baskin, who has stuck stead- i lastly to the platform and principles ■ ol the States’ Rights party of 1948. Right there we will stand regardless of Washington pressure. The convention went just opposite to what the Trumancrats wanted. It said in unmistakable words that our affiliation is with the Democratic party of South Carolina and not the so-called national Democratic party which is dangerous, socialistic and craves more centralized power against the rights of the states.
