Honorable George Bell Timmerman, Jr.
Governor of South Carolina
The State House
Columbia, South Carolina
Dear Governor Timmerman: '
In keeping with the pledge which
I made to the people of South Carolina
during the 1954 campaign, and in order
that the State Democratic Convention can
place -the office in this summer’s primary,
1 hereby resign as United States Senator
effective on and as of April 4, 1956,
and I respectfully request that you accept
this resignation effective on that date.
Sincerely yours.
Strom Tnumond

News siaiement by Senator
Strom Thurmond (D-SC) in Co-,
lumbia. S. C.. March 3, 1956. an-
nuoncing his resignation from
the United States Senate.
The untimely death of Senator
Burnet R. Maybank came on Sep
tember 1. 1054. just over two
months before the general elec
tion on November 2 of that year. |
Senator Maybank had been re
nominated in the Democratic pri
mary w ithout opposition
If a special Democrat.;, primary,
had been held to nominate a suc
cessor to Senator Maybank, the
yqters in that primary would have
been bound by South Carolina |
law and by oath under state
Democratic party rules to sup
port the nominee. A special pri-1
marv was! not held Therefore, the
Demohrats . of South Carolina
were free to vote for the person
’of their choice for the full sixr;
year term in the 1954 genera!
election . _______
Democrats in £very county call
ed on me to lead a write-in cam
paign as their candidate for the
Senate. iThe view of many po
litical observers was that such „a
campaign would be hopeless be
cause of the difficulties of write
in balloting. #
1 believed the people them
selves had a right to vote for a
candidate of their choice to fill an
office, especially since the term of
office was for six years. 1 1 agreed
to become a Democratic write-in
candidate for the Senate seat left
vac ant for the term beginning in
January, 1955. \
In the emapaign I stated:
"This is a*fight for principle . . .
To make the principle at stake
(rystal clear 1 pledge to the peo
ple of South Carolina that if I am
elected in the lleneral Elbttihri on
e
November 2, I will tender my res
ignation in 1956 in sufficient tinft*
to let the Democrats of South
Carolina nominate a United
States Senator in the regular
Demcoratic primary election that
year, which is the earliest regular
primary to be held ".
On March 21 the state Demo-
eraUc convention will be held.
One of its functions is to provide
for a primary to nominate Demo
crats for the various offices which
will be filled by the voters in No
vember in the general election
Candidates who enter the orimarv
must qualify between noon on
March 22 and noon on April 5.
The time has come for me to
fulfill my promise to the people
of South Carolina.
I have tried to choose a course
that will be as crystal clear as the
principle I upheld in the 1954
campaign.
Today I have delivered my let
ter of resignation to Governoif
Timmerman.
The text of the letter states:-
“In keeping with the pledge
which I made to the people ot
South Carolina during the 1954
campaign, and in order that the
state Democratic cnovention cai.
place the office in this summer J
primary, I hereby resign as Unit
ed Statse Senator effective on and
as of April 4, 1956. and I respect
fully request that you accept this
resignation effective on that
date.” \
The state convention can pro
vide for a primary to nominate
a candidate for the remaining
four years of the six year term to
which I was elected. The Demo
crats of South Carolina can have
the opportunity of nominating
the person of their choice on June
12. Any person who desires to
enter the primary as a candidate
has sufficient notice.
I shall be a candidate for nomi
nation in the primary to succeed
myself in the Senate:
My resignation was made effec
live April 4, the day before the
closing of the books for qualifica
tion and before the campaign op
ens.- Because of the unprecedent*
ed circumstances of the 1954 sen
atorial election. I would not want
to hav6 any adyantage which
might result from my holding of
fice during this primary cam
paign. I ,
My resignation will guarantee
iree and Open primary election
for South Carolina Democrats,
believe the course I have taken in
resigning, and in making this an
nouncement a month before the
effective date, fulfilled to the ut
most the pledge I made to . the
people in 1954.
The trust rpeosed in me by the
people has been deeply appreciat
ed. and I have tried at all times
to reward this trust by exerting
my best efforts on behalf of the
State and the nation.

ACCIDENTS
WILL HAPPEN!
A child’s roller skates left on
the stairs... a man deeply en
grossed in his paper .. • one
more step ... fate closes ini
But it isn’t fate. Just the care
less, thoughtless preoccupation
of humanity.
No religion can guarantee
our safety from accidents like
this one.
But the Christian Church
offers man safety from greater
perils. It teaches him the dan
gers inherent in his own im
pulses ... it shows him his re
sponsibility for the lives and .
faith of others ... it stimulates
his soul-deep yearning to know
God ... it assures him that life
has eternal meaning through
Jesus Christ.
Accidents will happen—but
spiritual tragedy need not! For
the eternal safety of all men,
the careless, the thoughtless,
the preoccupied: Chrjst died.
