KepuDncan party may naSe played
havoc with some Of the old southern
ideals I'm this regard. but they have
made no conquest Of the south's basic
convictions in the premises.
The south. casting aside all sectional
feeling as the result OF the civil war,
views the Republican party as a party
OF federal Capitalization and usurpa-
ton. Southerncrs are students Of po
liticaI history, and they know the con-
stitution Of the republic They are de
liberateiy and earnestly opposed to the
Republican party because they are con-
WINGED that II seeks to out Ha milton
Hamilton in increasing the central au-
thority.
So far as concrete issues Of national
politics are concerned the southern
white masses are uncompromisingly in
line with the Democratic party's plat
form enunciations. The sentiment Of
protection" in the Republican sub
sidy sense does not exist among south
ern Democrats. They believe in tariff
for revenue only as a general PROPOSE
ton and In tariff reduction to the point
OF healthy foreign competition in all
commodities and products mOnopolis-
ticaIly controlled by domestic trusts.
~ Our friends OF the political opposi-
ton are reckoning without their host
If they think the south has been com
Inercialized" to the point where the
class policies OF the Republican party
will prove acceptable TO considera-
able number OF white southerners. even
with the ghost Of negro suffrage for
Lit lao 10 fully alfra
its material interests. but il IL not in
politics TO loot and plumber the gen
crafty OF the American people. 1t be-
lieyes In progress. I'm the greater Amerf-
ca, I'm broad Americanism, but IL be-
iieves the nation can grow and prosper
to the greatest good Of the greatest
number by strict adherence TO the
sound landmarks OF the early republic
and pure constitutionslism. 1t believes
in "a free and unpurchasable ballot bas-
ed on intelligence and civic virtue. 1t
sees In the Republican party the an
tithesis of all that makes for really
popular and honest government.
The south Is not daZZled 10y the
glamour of the Roosevelt landslide at
the north. Ii understands as a student
of history and philosopher OF events
what is implied TO the moral tone OF
American political life by the rest OF
the Union going hell bent" for what
the Republican party represents. The
south i'm this regard will preserve its
Democracy for the inevitable day when
the disillusioned people shall turn from
following after false political gods.
The constitution does not, of course,
say that all Of the white people of the
south would be OF the same political
mind IL the negro question were elimi-
mated. We do know that under exist
ing conditions white supremacy will
be forever guaranteed by the white
people acting in unison. With that is
sue removed there would be a majority
and minority party I'm the south. and
the point that we are emphasizing II
that the majority party would be the
one advocating the principles for which
the Democratic party stands today and
for which II has always stood Allan

Southern Democrats.

No consistent and honest Democrat
can be entirely satisfied with the
election OF Roosevelt on the Chicago
platform. and much less southern
Democrat.
The trend of modern progress I'm the
south. irrespective OF the vital prin-
ciple OF white supremacy, IL not to-
ward Republicanism. We know ,uci,
an erroneous idea prevails in certain
quarters and II voiced now and then
in the north. Naturally recent south
ern development. particularly I'm tex
tile manufactures. has attracted some
northern immigration. and the cxploita-
ton OF other southern resources has at
tracted other northerners To the south.
Many Of these newcomers. Republican
In the first instance. may be classed
AZ ultra protectionists In NATIONAL poll
tics and Republicans ON general party
principles. but IL Is noticeable that few
OF them hesitate To affiliate warmly
with the Democrats i'm local politics
where the issue OF white supremacy Is
involved. Thirty six years OF Repub-
hcan supremacy In the nation have
succeeded in making few proselytes to
the Republican party among southern
Democrats.
The reason for this Democratic 80
lidity" OF the south is not TO be found
either In the race question or In a
spirit of sc'tionalism. sentimental or
prejudicial. The southern masses are
Democrats from deep seated principle.
The student Of political history need
not be told why they are historically
Democrats. The origin and carly his
tory Of the Republican party may &C
centuatc their pronounced leaning TO
Democratic policies. but only I'm n cas-
ual way. We must bark back TO the
