The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1952-10-30


the present Democratic party.
Sillers prepared statement in
full follows:
After being introduced by Pre-
sident Truman in a speech lauding
his administration, Governor Adj
lai Stevenson in accepting his no
mination said, II accept your no.
mination and your program" l,
is the program of the Truman
administration, past, present and
future, set out in the socialisGic.
civil rights-F. E. P. c. platform
sponsored by Trumsn-Humphrey.
Lehman Moody Walter White
(NAACP)-Francis Biddle (A.DA.)
and other left wing leaders who
control and dominate the National
Democratic Party.
1--WE walked out Of the 194s
convention because Of the vicious
anti-southern, socialistic, civil
rights, F. E. p. c. platform. The
1852 platform which Stevenson
and Sparkman are running on and
supporting is much stronger and
far more Objectionable. Our posi-.
ton Is no different today except
the party and platform are much
more obnoxious.
Stevenson and Sparkman SUD-
ported and helped make the Tru.
man Administration, they believe
in 1t, are sponsoring it, and are q
part Of IL. That is made plain In
every speech they make. Stew
enson takes particular pains to
emphasize the fact, especially in
the South, which should be suffi-
cient warning to all.
what Is the program" we
endorse when we vote for Steven
son and Sparkman?
First: It is an endorsement OF
Harry Truman and his admins
tration. Truman raised that issue
at the outset Of the campaign and
Stevenson accepted it. All the lit
erature, speeches and propaganda
praise the so-called accomplish
ments Of the administration.
Second: 1t has abandoned DEM
ocratic principles for socialistic
programs, advocates compulsory
Federal F.E.P.C., Civil Rights
Laws which would impose federal
dictatorship upon the states, rath.
er than local self government.
advocates repeal Of the Taft-Hart.
ley law, which would destroy the
only protection the public and
union members have against the
abuses Of power drunken, greedy
labor leader racketeers; would
abolish the "fnibuster" in the
United States Senate, the only
weapon left to the South with
which to protect itself from abus-
i've, intolerable measures which Q
ruthless, South-hating majority
would impose upon us; would re.
peal the protective provisions OF
the McCarran immigration Law
enacted over President Truman's
veto at the last session of Con-
gress, which protects the country
from further infiltration of Com
munists and other underisables
from Russia, Eruope and other
foreign countries; advocates non
segregation in our public schools,
colleges, institutions, public utili-
ties and other public places, which
would break down our cherished
traditions and destroy our south
ern way Of life.
Third: An administration reek-
ing with corruption, graft. extra
vaeance and waste. Notorious foI
its mink coat, deep freeze, in
come tax, and many other rotten
scandals. THAT mess" which will
not be cleaned up II you keep
those in power who are respon.
sible for it.
Fourth: An administration
which tolerates to the Nth" de.
gree activity Of Communists, COM
munist frontiers and other subver.
sives in this country, in the State
and other departments Of govern
ment, in our schools, colleges and
other public institutions, but show
no mercy in its smear tactics a.
gainst Senators, Congressnen and
others who would rid this country
of these enemies Of our freedom.
Fifth: An administration which
has piled upon this country bur-
densome and mountainous federal
debt Of $3.50. OO0, 900, 100000 and i'm
posed the highest rate Of confisca-
tory taxation upon our people Sec
ond only to Great Britain, which
unless relieved from will destroy
the nation.
