People have been taking walk
from the Democratic Party ever
since 1t started.
The solid South" has bolted twice
since the Civil War era. Minor re-
volts date back to 1905, the first days
Of the party.
The two major revolts-in 1856
and 1928-were followed by defeat
and disaster for the party. But this
wasn't true of the minor splits.
Major trouble has arisen over
slaves, silver, religion and prohibi-
ton.
To gauge the seriousness of the
present revolt of Southern party
leaders over proposed "civil rights
legislation, 1t is necessary to go far
back into party history.
1860 Revolt Recalled.
In 1860 the Democrats met at
Charleston, S. c., but were SO divided
over the slavery issue they couldn't
agree on a presidential candidate
The Northern wing went to Balti-
more and nominated Stephen A.
Douglas of Illinois. The bolting
Democrats met in Richmond, Va.
and nominated John c. Breckenridge
The newly formed Republican
Party chose Abraham Lincoln and
won the election.
The Encyclopedias Britannica
comments:
"The enfranchisement Of the
Negro that followed the war did two
things to the Democratic Party
first it made the South unshakably
Democratic; second 1t gave to the
Republicans an advantage In every
pivotal state outside of the South
in which there was a Negro popu-
lation."
Votes For Harding.
In 1920 Tennessee cast its elec-
toral votes for Republican Warren
G. Harding, but the South other
wise held together in presidential
politics until 1928 and the campaign
Of AL Smith.
Smith, q Catholic and wet, lost
Texas, Virginia, North Carolina,
Florida and Tennessee. This was
the first time in 48 years any
Southern State had voted for a Re-
publican nominee. Herbert Hoover,
the Republican, was elected.
In 1914, after the Democratic
landslides for Franklin D. Roosevelt,
the Southern Democrats once more

devoted to economic problems of the
AFL.
"A war is on, a cold war waget
by the Soviet Union against oul
democratic way of life with its
guarantees of individual rights anc
human freedoms" it continued.
"As the Soviet imperialistic pur-
pose has unfolded in these postwar
years, workers in all parts OF the
world have been reused to its true
meaning for them, although many
were at first confused by Soviet
propaganda and misuse Of the word
democracy

There have been strong groups
| In the trade union movements OF
different countries who recognize
the real issues from the start. To-
day free unions, alarmed for their
safety, are coming forward to join
together for common ideals and
purposes, and to protect their free
dom against b common enemy"
The publication traced the net
work, with Washington as its cen

contacts in China, Japan, Hawaii

The federation began its work
during the war, the publication said
sending relief to trade unionists in
Europe and China, often resorting
to the underground.
