We hare been betrayed in the house of our fathers. We people of the South who hare been the most loyal end faithful to the Democratic P«rty have been humiliated ttad insulted and pointed to with scorn by men who at tended that convention from ****** in which not even a Justice of the Peace be elected on s Democratic plat- term. As a result of e con tinuation of insults, under the . Jtedscship of Gorernor Field- tog Wright and Governor Strom Thurmond, the States' Rights Democratic party has been organised. . .“We call upon all Democrats and upon all other loyal Ameri- cans who are opposed to totali tarianism at home and abroad to unite with us in. ignominoualy de- feating Harry S.

OcL 20 THREE DARING DAUGHTERS" | Jeanette MacDonald Jose Iturbi Under the Fair Employment Practices Act, if put infb effect in this nation by Harry Truman and which has already been put into effect in New York by Thom as E. Dewey, every man’s private business would become a public one. If he exercised the right to employ whom he wanted to, a government agent would knock on his door, and he would be haul ed before a Federal Commission to explain his reasons. It would mean that the government Would hire his employees, arid, under the act, he would be denied the right of trial by jury on the issues of tact between himself and the gov ernment The case would not go to the Federal Court in his own state, but would ordinarily go to a Federal Court in another state. Is this democratic government? Does this sound like an American institution or ideal to you? Is this the type of thing that we have fought for and preserv two great world wan? Under the act as written and proposed by both the major parties and by Wallace, you can not inquire into the original name of toe appli cant for employment if his name has been changed. If you do, you violate the law. It is a violation, of the law to make inquiries into the birthplace of the applicant for employment, or the birthplace of his parents or other dose relatives. It is a viola tion of the law to. require an ap plicant to produce a birth csrtifi- cjrie or baptismal certificate. Every detense plant fat this nation would be infiltrated by the fallow travelers of Joe Stalin and would undermine and overthrow toe government .of the United States by force, Under the FEPC act you can't Inquire into an applicant* s You can't int In Beauty Contest sovereignty, end in that fight we are sustained by toe highest and opinion which American history has known. We are amazed that toe peoples in other sections of this county do not more completely realize that their own rights and liberties are in danger. The proposal that Congress pass an anti-poll tax law is a threat to every human being in America. The poll tax does not prohibit anyone from voting in the South. [It is a minor revenue measure yieldin gvery little money. There are only seven states that have a poll tax law voting requirement If Congress can pass this law and establish the power to deal with the right of toe American people to vote, it can establish Federal suffrage. It can exercise control over toe ballot boxes of the nation, and, as practical mi we know that ultimately it wot have much to say about who would be President and would control the membership of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States. Hite t|s.HH ler did it; MuSsolini did it, and Stalin is still doing it—and they used the same methods as are now proposed to the American people. religious affiliations, inquire as to bsUsvss in God. You cannot ask him If he Is a naturalixsd dtissn or native bom dtisen, or the date when be ac quired diisenship. You ask him what his ancestry or his original origin is.

How can any self-respecting, decent American citizen give his voice of approval to any political party which sponsors the overthrow of the American institutions and ideals? The FEPC would be a sup er government of Commissars with more power than any other agency that has ever been created in this country. If it is made the law of the land, we sacrifice and destroy toe sacred freedom for which so many Americans died on the beadies of Normandy, Guad alcanal, at Anzio and in New a batl survival of free constitutional government, for the survival of life, for the survival of free enter prise. It is a battle to save Amer ica for Americans. We people of the South never reamed that a Democratic Presi dent would stab us in the bade, but in one fell swoop seek to irt- » federal laws more detent to the South and the Nation than have been proposed in any period of government What makes toe stab more brtrtal is the fact that the hand that holds the dagger received its power from an election by the people. So tar as concerned, the die is | we are cast The rubioon is crossed. We solicit stout-hearted men. Weaklings will fall by the way. Every man, wom an and child in this Southland and in the Nationa should rally to the cause of toe States’ Rights Demo crat’s campaign. The people of the South are de termined not to submit to those who have repudiated the dreams which have been those of Demo crats through all the -years. We are determined not to submit to those who would wreck and de stroy civilization and mongrolize all toe people. We are determined to preserve all the principles of democracy and to prevent toe es tablishment, in this land of ours, of a police state. There is a firm conviction in the minds of all peo ple that they are not being prop erly represented by those who are, in authority over them. There is I ( a feeling in their minds that the office holder is more afraid of the Iocs of his job than he is en thusiastic for the call of the pec< g e. Maybe there are some among e occupants of public offices in the South who think they darf weasel their way through and weather the storm, but if I’m any political prophet, the people of the south are more aroused than they have been in many years, and they expect to repay, by retire ment to private lives, the efforts of any so-called Southern leaders who hope to carry them into the camps of Harry S. Truman in the coming election. I I do not believe in fomenting hatred between the races. Here in this nation, there is room for both, segregated and apart Segregation is our way of life, and it Is es sential to peace and good will. There are many negroes among us completely worthy of full citi zenship; honest decent self-re specting and God-fearing people. They live their own lives. They are leaders among their own peo- 8 1e. They wish no forced associa- on with which elections are to be purchased. They, as we, are vic- itims of the political situation in the doubtful states where Repub licans and Democrats alike offer us as the mess of pottage with which elections are to Be pur chased, betraying our heritage for political spoils. We are faced by tacts, not theories. We have worked out a way of life, in difficult circum stances, between the two races. The negro race has progressed further in three-score years than any other race in the history of civilization, and *it has progressed because it has had the sympa thetic help of the Southern white people of good will. It can con tinue to progress with the sympa thetic help of the white people of the South. That progress must be based on segregation, on keeping the two races apart. It we de stroy segregation in this country, chaos will result If I’m any poUtical prophet, the American people are sick and tired of bureaucratic Washington boards planning the very daily lives of all of toe citizens of the the public office holders of the South cringing under the criti cism and pressure from high bu reaucrats in Washington. The K blic office holders of the South ve for the last time sold the people out for a mass of porridge Utical partii can citizen to fed his Inability and his utter holplessnees to solve his own problems must come to an end. The effort of both major po litical parties to destroy and wipe out local self-government must Be contested with all the might, the power and resource* at the com mand of toe people of the South land. Any self-respecting Southern Democrat should be sick and tired of the leadership of the Demo cratic party waving aside consti tutional guarantees, and conetant- fy ridiculing the United States Constitution as outmoded and as an obstruction to the progress of the people. The poUcy of the leadership of both major political parties in re cent years of attempting to intimi date the law-making bodies is a threit to every citizen of America. The aim and purpose of the pres et the 1 n ent leadership Democratic party is to keep the people of the nation ground down by high taxes and thus bring all the people to a “Common Level” as in Russia. If the United States government continues the taking of all income above a meager living and a con tinuation of the process of making the citizen rely more and more upon the government. It will mean the destruction of toe free enterprise system and the crea tion of a collective government modelled after Moscow. There is a dangerous trend in this country, urged on by the leadership of both Republican and Democratic parties, to promote a general distrust of business and industry and this program of gen eral distrust is being carried on by a steady stream of governmen tal propaganda with its ultimate aim to create and set up in this country, a Communistic police state. The very programs advocated in the platforms of both the so- called Democratic party and the Republican party are the same proposals that led to the over throw of ever/ free enterprise system in the world today. The people of this nation have not yet stopped and realized that our ef ficient Army, Navy and Air Force have destroyed every democratic (Continued On Page 4-B) Pix Theatre BETHUNE. 8. C. FrL-SaL.
