I was in 1946 when the South Carolina Democratic convention, meeting in the Capital City, adopt ed a resolution that included the following "Wc pay tribute to our great Democratic president. Harry S. Truman. ^ for his accomplishments mking over the reins of the gov- ernmenLat a time of eriss, in push- :ng through' the successful conclu sion of the war, and in facing with courage and determination-the so lution 6T the post-war problems of the nation and the world; and we pledge him our continued support and heartfelt good wishes.” Had Opposition It was less than two years before Palmetto State Derrvcrats were re tracting that statement.

At that time the protest was centered around the state cohven- tion’s threat that its delegates would not support Mr. Truman on certain conditions. A lengthy battle before the cre dentials committee of the National Democratic party was finally won out by the State Democratic party's delegates. A group of about eight v.’hfite Democrats who termed themselves party loyalists wanted seats in the convention because they were making an effort to car ry the party’s banner in the state.

It means liberty of the family to eat what they want for breakfast, spend the income they earn as they wish to spend it and not have it taken away from them by taxes to furnish government services they miay or may not want, and may or may not even get. It means the liberty of every- com munity to run its own affairs, to determine how its children shall be educated, its welfare services conducted and its local government run.” He said “our progress and our liberty are threatened by the steady expansion of government.” Taft is in Texas for a three-day visit to push his campaign for the Republican presidential n o m i n a- tion. In a speech at noon he said the United States had to have a" sound 4 foreign policy because it is this that today shapes every phase of domes tic issues and put taxes in the fore-! front. Tonight he bore down on domes tic policy. He said the president’s call for a budget of 85 billion dollars was about 30 per cent of the income of the people. 4 Thursday, March 13, 1952 “If we add 7 per cent for state and local government that means a total of 37 per cent,” he declared. “My own view is that we can’t keep; the free system going at all if gov ernment takes more than about 25 per cent. “Unless we can reduce 4he spend ing and activity of the federal gov- to a condition where all our lives would t>e directed by the govern- erhmeYft we will go on inevitably ment,” he thundered. “He said he strongly favored “states ^rights,” especially in the so-calleff tidelands case. In this he would give the states control over their marginal seas. Taft said he had no doubt South ern Democrats stand with the bulk of the Republican party in the “de mand that we resume progress in this country under those principles which lay at the very basis of the declaration of independence and the Constitution.” OFFICE SUPPLIES Complete line, all the little Items needed for the office.

Many Southern states would have accepted the platform as re- ported by the platform committee four years ago but "the convention! saw fit to discard that platform and 1 insert FEPC and other civil rights proposals. This even led the then governor of Arkansas, Laney, toj refuse to run on the Southern ticket. The National Democratic conven tion in July should be more inter esting in the past years because of the several candidates seeking nomination.'
