The Southern Dilemma
Tuesdays Nf gE0 5" {: 5ox6t2R5

Even a casual visit among the
Southern states discloses an unex-
pected positive opposition to Frank
lin d. Roosevelt. Yet most OF these
anti-Roosevelt folks will vote for
him because they cannot divorce
themselves from a binding associa-
ton with the Democratic party.
They no longer believe that white
supremacy" is protectable under
the New Deal. but they cannot
overcome the memory OF Carpet
Dagger supremacy" when the Re-
publicans conquered their country.
We're new conservative party to
appear, unassociated with the War
Between the States, its support in
the South would be astonishing.
The antagonism TO Roosevelt
stems from several causes:
l. He has taken Southern sup
port for granted and has therefore
been able to ignore the political
first principles of Southern Demo.

2. He has placed leading South.

other Southerners to attack him
and his Administration without
also attacking them.
3. He has raised the negro issue
to political and social pitch un-
known since Reconstruction days:

ers.
Nevertheless most OF them will
vote for him and unless there Is Al
sharp change in public decision. he
will carry every Southern state.
Yet, should he be reelected, he
will have most OF the Solid South
against him in Congress with pub
Ii pressures exercised to force
selrtors and Representatives to op-
pose his will. Tempers are rising
in this area which can no longer
be assuaged by smart talk.
