BECAUSE: ■ ’ Again, as in 1954, the People of South Carolina are determined to resist the efforts of the Professional Politicians in our State, led by Edgar Brown, who are attempting to force their wills upon us and lead us in the direction of chaos and ruin. And this time the Inde pendents are ready and have a place on the ballot for those who refuse to be forced to.vote for policies harmful to the South. • * The time has come for us to assert our Independence from both the National Dem ocratic and Republican Parties, for the following reasons!: ^ 1. Both National Democratic and Republican Parties would force the Integration of the Races in our Public Schools and use the powers of the President for such enforcement. 2. Both National Democratic and Republican Parties would abolish the right of Freedom of Speech fFilibuster) on the floor of the U. S. Senate. ( * 3. Both National Democratic and Republican Parties would institute a program of Civil Rights aimed at the South. '• * A 4. Both National Democratic ond Republican Parties would entirely repudiate the Rights , of the States; our Right to Work Laws, etc. 5. Both National Democratic and Republican Parties would create a Socialistic State of Federal controls. We of the Independents of South Cqrolina ^ are counting upon you to STAND with us and VOTE for: 1. Constitutional Government. * 2. Continued Segregation of the Races, particularly in our Public Schools, ond the Amer ican way of life as we know it. ( 3. Resistance to those who would place Party above the welfare of this Notion. 4. Independent Electors—Men of Honor and Integrity—Pledged to carry the Flog of true South Carolina Democracy, and for the Principles of Americanism. '• If You Support Either National Party You Must Forever be Silent on Your Stand for Segregation We are counting on you for your help and support to carry the State of South Caro lina for that outstanding Southerner and Great American, Senator Harry Flood Byrd, of Virginia. Let the Politicians Vote for the Party! Let the People Vote for the Principle! VOTE INDEPENDENT — (Appearing on the Ballot—Nomination by Petition.) f
