CRUMBS WITH INSULTS
lIndependent Starr

If the South didn't get what it
expected to get or wanted from
the Democratic National Conven-
ton, concluded in Chicago over
the weekend, it can blame itself
for much of the failure.
In the first place Southerners
went to the convention with hat
in hand and the attitude that
they knew they were the red
headed step-children of the Demo-
cratic Party and would be glad for
any crumbs that might be thrown
their way by the high and mighty
New Dealists and Fair Dealist.
Only three Southern states, Vir-
ginia, South Carolina and Louisi-
ana had the CUTS to stick by their
guns and refuse to be politically
manhandled by the Left Wingers
The others, as nauseating as it
must have been to them, fell in
line, reluctantly or otherwise, in
the hope of being handed some
recognition. One of the main rea-
sons, perhaps, was the candidacy
of Sen. Russell for the presiden-
tial nomination. But they, in the
end, were betrayed and showed
aside.
The Southern states had warn
ing before the convention what
was going to happen. They knew
the Objectionable planks were 60
ing to be written into the platform
of the party. Yet they made no
sustained unified effort to prevent
it. Had they stuck together they
would have come out differently.
They didn't have enough delegate
strength to carry the convention,
but collectively they had enough
ii block Objectionable features and
bring about a stall that would
have eventually spelled success for
them.
Even though all but three of the
Southern States went along with
the Socialist wing of the party,
they were subjected to insult after
insult at the hands of the Leftists.
They were repeatedly referred to
as Republicans in the Democratic
Party, and other misnomers that
were hurled at them by the high
and mighties.
The rift between the two fac
lions was mended somewhat, per-
haps by the nomination of the
gentleman from Alabama as the
vice presidential candidate-the
only small crumb they were allow
ed from the convention; but they
were insulted again by the presi-
dental nominee in his acceptance
speech when he remarked that he
would beat "both Republican Par
ties" in the November election. Ad-
lai Stevenson, the presidential
choice of Truman and his ilk in
the party, did not help himself
with the South when he made that
statement, and left no doubt about
how he feels regarding the South.
But for the fact they need the
votes of the Southern citizenry,
the New Dealists and Fair Deal
lists, beyond a doubt, would drive
the South from the party entirely
However, so long as they car
retain the vote by dolling out q
crumb of favor now and then, but.
tered with insults they may be
the Socialists will permit the South
to stay in the party that once
meant the preservation Of the Con.
stitution and the right of priv.
stitution and its rights under the
Constitution.

that the job of running the town
should require the services of 81
people. The Rockville government
employs eight persons in admins
trative capacity, Mr.. Kelly said.
SObOloff Adviser
Last year, Mr.. Kelly served as
president of the Maryland Munich
pal League. He is presently a
member of an advisory committee
on inter-govermental relations to
the Soboloff Commission. This
Commission will make a report to
the Governor and the General AS
sembly and make recommendations
for streaming the State Govern
ment.
Mr.. Kelly's particular function
concerns the necessity of broaden
ing the old Section liza of the
State Constitution, which gave
county governments the right of
home rule, and extending that sec
ton to give equal home rule rights
to the lao municipalities in the
State.
This plan will require a constitu-
tional amendment and Mr.. Kelly
has been selected to present draft
of the extension to the Maryland
Municipal League which, it is
hoped, will endorse the plan before
it is presented to the Soboloff Com
Emission.
