Thursday, October 14,1954 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Pas* Fivt Thurmoiid Hits Use Of Parly Funds Greenville — Strom Thurmond declared Tuesday ni*ht that he will vote “in keeping with the prin ciples of the South Carolina Demo cratic party” if elected to the U. S. Senate in the Nov. 2 general elec tion. Thurmond, write-in candidate for the seat vacated by the death of Burnet R. Maybank, once again blasted the State Democratic Ex ecutive committee for its refusal to call a special Senate primary and its nomination of State Sen, Edgar Brown. Thurmond said that “apparently the majority of the committee are still convinced they can by-pass the wishes of the people and put into office a nominee of their XI - .

In a campaign speech prepared for delivery at a rally here, Thur mond attacked State Executive Committee Chairman Neville Ben nett, charging he set up “head-, quarters in Columbia to use the money in the treasury of the Dem ocratic party in an attempt to elect the committee nominee. That mon ey was paid to the party in fees of candidates who expected it to be used to conduct primary elec tions,” Thurmond asserted. “The only candidate who will receive the benefit of this money is the committee nominee for the Senate,” he added. Thurmond said that if Brown “should be elected without the holding of a primary, it would set a dangerous precedent. That would give encouragement .to other com mittees in future years to select nominees without holding a pri mary * • • That must not be per mitted to happen.” He reasserted that the issue of his campaign is “to preserve the Demcoratic right of the citizens of South Carolina to name your sena tor in a primory.” Thurmond again promised to re sign in 1966 if elected “to let the Democrats of our state nominate their United States senator in the primary which the larw requires be held in that year.” He added that he expects “to offer for nomi nation in that primary.” Thurmond said he will “support full 90 per cent parity for our farmers,” increased social secur ity payments, and strengthening the United Nations. The former governor also de clared he will do “all in my power to prevent the enactment of legis lation discriminating against Sou thern industries and giving gov ernment orders to the manufac turers of New England.” Birth Announcements HUGHES Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Hughes, of Gray Court, announce the birth of a son, Michael Keith, on October 7 at Blalock clinic.
