CLINTON, S. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 1953
Pennant Winners
The stage is now set for the big
world series. The lineup as was pre
dicted will be the Yankees versus
the Brooklyn Dodgers, and several
hundred thousand fans will witness
the series.
It is the fifth straight time that
Manager Casey Stengel has trium
phed with his Yankees, and the sec
ond consecutive season for Dodgers
victory under Manager Dressen,
which means that these two smart
baseball generals have walked
away with the pennants in their
respective leagues, American and
National.
It is pretty generally true that
the baseball championship of the
world is held by teams of Greater
New York and this happens so often
it doubtless dampens the hopes of
lesser baseball centers. With their
strong financial backing the New
York and Brooklyn teanjs have
earned their preeminence in the
national baseball world. There
would be an increased interest with
the rise of a stronger competition
by other big league team&. Folks
just don’t like to see one team win
all the time. We don’t.
The Stage Is Set
Ex-President Truman, would-be-
president Stevenson, aided by other
prominent New Dealers have begun
their campaign to win next year’s
congressional elections and priming
for the 1956 campaign when the
term of President Eisenhower ex
pires. What they are interested in
now^far more than anything else,
is winning the elections and getting
back into power. Party is put above
principle as expected of this group
of prominent politicians who never
had it so good until the voters made
a housecleaning.
The Democrats had a big two-day
• bidding conference for what they
termed as “harmony”. Mr. Truman’s
hand-picked man gave a report on
his recent world tour. This was a
political balloon while the main idea
of course was the focusing of state
chairmen and congressmen on the
’54 elections spotlighted by a $100-
a-plate dinner. The former presi
dent as would be expected, attacked
the policies of President Eisenhower
and charged that the country “had
gone to the dogs” since he left of
fice, and that he regarded Steven
son as the party leader, calling him
the “number one Democrat in the
United States”. The big threat to
harmony, a challenge on the “loy
alty pledge” which almost wrecked
last year’s convention is still on the
convention book. The issue was
side-tracked for expediency, but
may be expected to be revised at the
next convention by its bosses who
would rule the South and break
down Southern traditions and prin
ciples.
Mr. Stevenson did not push him
self too fast at the conference but
left it to former president Truman
to swing the partisan meat-ax—
which of course he did with gusto.
He is a genus politician from tip to
toe. Mr. Stevenson let it be known
clearly that he is an under-study of
the Missourian. Stevenson and Tru
man ran the show as efforts of
Southerners to kill the loyalty!
pledge requirements were pushed
aside. The stage is carefully set for
a repetition of 1952 in 1956.
in an effort to get Eisenhower to
run for president as a Democrat, and
was loud in singing his praises.
Speaking of “alibi,” Johnston him
self is a past master. It will be re
called he did not go to the polls on
election day in Spartanburg county.
His “excuse” was—bad weather.
It‘s refreshing to find a public
official who honestly faces facts and
tells the truth. Such a man is Rep
resentative McMillan. While most
of our leaders are trying to blame
the Eisenhower administration even
for the severe drought this summer,
Mr. McMillan doesn’t play ball that
way. He said in an address at Flor
ence a lew days ago: A great hue
and cry has gone up over the big
decline in the price of cattle, and
of course the “Democrats” are
blaming it on politics. He doesn’t,
but points out the real cause.
Francis B. Taylor, News and Cou
rier rowing reporter, had this story
in the Charleston paper last Friday,
sent from Florence:
“The currently depressed cattle
prices are largely due to drought
and scarcity of pastures,” Rep. John
L. McMillan (D-SC) believes. Poli
tics cannot be blamed, he thinks.
“Interviewed here on the eve of
his departure for a nation-wide tour
for Congressional farm hearings,
Rep. McMillan said he believes farm
prices generally are.‘not too bad.’
‘As a member of the House Agri
culture Committee, Rep. McMillan
has been assigned to a sub-commit
tee which will conduct hearings all
over the country on a tour that will
last nearly two months. From the
hearings and from observations of
the members, the committee will
draft a farm bill for introduction
at the next session of Congress.
“From testimony and comment by
livestock raisers over the nation,
Rep. McMillan believes that “only
fly-by-nights’ want federal controls
of livestock production.’
“He said the drought and price
slump is squeezing most of them
out. When distress movement of
low grade animals had ended, most
agriculture experts look for a mod
erate rise in farm prices for beef.
Nobody seems to expect the price to
go back to the peaks of a few years
ago. Rep. McMillan hopes for a
boost that will permit profitable
production and a narrow enough
spread to leave the meat within
reach of most consumers.”
A Truman or a Lehman, or a
Mitchell, or a Roosevelt would never
have made any such statement as
this. They would have put the
blame for depressed cattle prices
on the Republican administration.
But Mr. McMillan is not that kind
of a politician.
The rank and file of cattlmen are
not blaming the administration.
Those who do are unfair. All of us
know that the cattlemen In the big
livestock areas have been making a
“killing” in prices and have been
producing an over-supply with the
hope that there would be no decline
in prices. We know that the drought
in Texas caused them to unload
their cattle on the market and this
naturally depressed the price. Po
litical parties, either Democrat or
Republican, cannot control the sea
sons of weather. God still rules the
uqiverse.
In the meanwhile housewives are
rejoicing that the exorbitant prices
of meats in recent years have de
clined.

What Is the Truth?
Former President Truman is
charging the Eisenhower adminis
tration with the falling prices of
farm products in an effort to arouse
dissatisfaction among this large and
important grAup. It is a deceptive
charge for as a matter of fact the
fall in farm prices started way back
in the Truman administration be
fore Eisenhower had even been
nominated for the presidency.
Representative John L. McMillan
of the 6th South Carolina congres
sional district is a different kind of
politician from the average one of
“Democratic” species. A news item
says Senators Johnston and May-
bank have turned against the new
administration and are out to pick
flaws. Johnston says the farmer
is being cut in income since the
exit Of the Truman crowd which
he endorsed and apparently still
does He has named the president
“Alibi Ike,” which is a partisan po
litical sobriquet. Johnston, it will
be_re< tiled, was one of the leaders
