A Good Platform
The recent convention of the Dem
ocratic party of South Carolina
adapted a 21-point platform. 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,

four “key” Truman spokesmen in
Ihe state were conspicuously absent,
neither was there any opposition pre
sented against the state chairman,
W. 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.
