BY THE WAY... By DORIS ARMFIELD Washington, Nov. 6. — The President has made bis trium phant return to Washington, and according to information media, it was the largest wel come. the largest turnout, ever given to any person; even larg er than any crowd ever gather ed to see the late President Roosevelt ride down Pennsyl vania Avenue. I didn’t expect to see the parade, because I am alleigic to mobs of any kind. It hap pened, though, that the pro cession passed up 15th Street on its way to the White House, and from the sixth floor win dows of the Albee Building, where the Stenotype Institute is located, we had a perfect view of the procession. No matter what anyone says about Harry Truman, it is im possible not to admire “the little man,’’ as the radio com mentators have dubbed him since his victorius fight. I don’t believe I have ever seen any one lo'.'k happier than he did in that paiade Friday; h e was v earirg a grey suit, looked in tne be>t of health despue' his grueling iunery of the past few month, and woie a con stant smile. It was not an af fecte 1 smile—it • was a sm ; of genuine gratitude to the people who gave him such a tremen- Qr)vs cvation. I l.siened to all the news re ports ti at I could get the day and night after the election, to see wl at explanations tne com- rnentatois would give for lie biggest political upset the 'oun- try has seen in many years There were excuses of every kind; but most of them,it seem ed to me. could have be n fore seen. making a Demociatr: vic tory possible. The one I liked best was the commentator who said ‘Americans have always loved a fighting man, and Harry Truman is a fighting man.” My theory is that voters are tired of being told by poli tical machines, and by a power ful politically controlled press, just how they should vote, and as a gesture of stubborness or revolt, voted the way they wanted to vote rather than the way they were told. A New Chance for the South This is tbe story of the man who cut off his nose to spite his face. . , , South Carolina irrevocably declared that it was done with Harry Truman and the Demo cratic Party. South Carolina exercised the right of voting for its collective choice. That choice was the standard-bearer of so-called States’ Rights. South Carolina captured Fort Sumter, but she lost the war. Some of the die-hards are de manding that the rebels con tinue the war from under ground, but the smart ones can see the handwriting on the wall in gigantic letters. The States Rights crowd took a thumping licking, and should •have sense enough to know that if the Dixiecrats couldn’t carry the South in 1948, they will never carry it. It was the ges ture of small boys thumbing their nose at the cop who was being kicked off the force— only Harry Truman wasn’t kicked off. His 303 electoral votes—and perhaps more—in cluded Virginia. North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Tennes see. Now if those states didn’t believe enough in “States Rights” why should the r e st of the South follow the example of Louisiana, Mississippi. South Carolina and Alabama? So South Carolina isn’t go ing to have the “North” teUing it what it can do. througn the Federal Government! Now, it is nice to talk about States Rights—independence of the State from the Feoerai Government, but in South Caro lina. 96,493 of the pupils :n secondary scnools attended courses for which OUR federal government supplied the mon ey. These courses are mainly vocational, agricultural, etc. and without federal funds, there would be at best a pale imi tation of tne present program It is one thing to la-k indepen dence and another thing to really be independent. Four states against President Truman — Alabama. Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina. Now don’t buiUl up any hopes abouth “The South” being able to hold the balance of power ia the Senat i or in the House, for that matter. It woild seem possible tnat these f iur staves could swing the balance on a tight issue—until ynu look at the record. Olin Johnston was more or 1ms against Mr. Tru man on major issues, but when the going got rough, went out of his way to vote for him. He most likely will stand by the President now, and will be m a good posit’on' in the Admin istration. No need to say what Burnet Maybank will do--he’ll be fo T ' the President. Mississippi is usually consi dered about last in everything in the United States, but don’t believe that Senators Stennis or Eastland are foolish. They’ll go along with Mr. Truman— they aren’t foolish enough to fight windmills. Hill and Sparkman of Alabama, on their records, are Democrats and nev er anything else. As for Louis iana—if you can imagine Allen J. Ellender forgetting how he NO POWDER was ever invented that; could make as loud an explosion as that found on a man’s coat lapel.

They will make the trip by plane from Columbia. ITEMS OF PERSONAL NOTE The friends of H. L. Boul- ware will be glad to learn thal he is now able to be up and about after having been con fined to his home in the Hart ford community for the past several weeks. Mrs. W. B. Goggans and daughter, Joan, spent Monday in Columbia on business. Mir. and Mrs. R. N. Lom- inick and son, Bobby, of got into office—and it wasn’t States Righters who put him there—you are wrong. He’ll ba for Truman. Russell Long is another story—nobody knows what the son of the Kingfish of unlamented past will do— but you can bet it won’t be anything too drastic his first term. It is time that some of our wrong-thinking die-hards who are physically living in 1948, but in spirit are living in 1848, should give up the mental ghost. It is time for South Car olina to realize that there isn’t just “a new day coming”—it is here now, and unless we catch up, the parade of progress will have gone by. Since the above article was written. Senator Olin D. John ston, who left a vacant place at the Jackson Day dinner in protest of the President’s civil rights program, has definitely shown where his affections lie. He was about thp first to board the Presidentiar train when it reached Union Station in Wash ington Friday morning. I am sure the press in South Capa- hna has duly notified all citi zens of the state of his activi ties. And Johnston is by no means the only one who has changed his mind about thd President. On every newscast and in almost every issue of the daily papers are stories about "lectors pledged to the States Rights Party changing to the Democratic Party. From this ooint, it would seem as though Governor Thurmond will short ly be a man without a party. Greensboro. N. C., spent the weekend in the home of Mr. Lominick’s mother, Mrs. J. F.
