Byrnes Joins
In Support Of
Gov. Stevenson
South CuroIinu Actor
May Influence Other
Southern States
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. Gov.
James F. Byrnes today advised
South Carolina Democrats to sup
port the national Democratic
Stevenson-Sparkman presidential
ticket.
Gov. Byrnes, often at odds with
the Truman administration, thus
Joined the States two Senator'S
Maybank and Johnston-and
other party leaders in support of
the national ticket. His recon-
mendation came at the party's
State convention which was re-
convened today after being in
recess since April while waiting
to learn the national party's stand
on civil rights.
It was at Gov. ByrneS' sugges-
ton that the State party, which
bolted the national party for the
States Rights Democratic ticket in
1948, adopted this wait-and-see
attitude. With Gov. Byrnes' sup
port, there seemed to be little
doubt that the convention would
go down the line for Gov. Steven
son and Senator Sparkman. The
South Carolina action also may
influence other Southern States.
Reports on Convention.
In a Commute report on the
national convention which he at
tended as chairamn of the South
Carolina delegation, Gov. Byrnes
noted that the State party was
free to support the Republican
INSTRUMENTATION ticket.
But" he declared, II think this
convention should instruct the
State Executive Committee to
place on the ballot . electors
pledged to Stevenson and Spark
man."
IF today were election day, Z
would vote for Stevenson and
Sparkman," the former Secretary
of State said, not because they
are labeled Democrats, but be-
cause of their personal qualif1ca-
tons and their records in public
Office"
But Gov. Byrnes said he wanted
to hear views of both Gov Steven
son and Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, Republican candidate, be-
fore finally making up his mind
ahOllt his own vote
Cites 1948 Vote.
He noted that while this State |
voted a States Rights Democratic
ticket in 1948 in its quarrel with
the national party, it still was
voting for Democrats. For the
State Democratic Party to support
the Republican candidates would
not be right" he declared.
The Governor related details
Of the seating of the South Caro-
lima delegation at the national
convention and said that in 1856
South Carolina delegates will
have to take the loyalty oath that
they refused this year.
Gov. Byrnes said at Chicago
last month that ne thinks this
years Democratic civil rights
plank is more Objectionable than
the one written in 1948-the one
that touched off a Southern re-
volt. The Governor also declared
that Gov. Stevenson's civil rights
attitude was sugar coated" and
might make him unacceptable to
South Carolina Democrats.

Third Truman Defeat.
It was the third time since he
became President that Mr.. Tru-
man had interviewed in home State
politics, and his third defeat. Two
years ago his candidate for the
Democratic senatorial nomination
was defeated in the primary by a
scant 1000 votes. The winner
then was Senator Thomas c. Hen
nings, jr., of st. Louis.
In 1916, Mr.. Truman succeeded
in purging Democratic Represen-
tative Roger c. Slaughter of the
5th district in Kansas City in the
primary. But Enos Axtell, the
man who had the Presidents sup
port, was defeated in the general
election by a Republican.
The bulk of Mr.. Symington's
victory was fashioned in st. Louis,
where he was supported both by
the forces of Sheriff Thomas F.
Callahan and many of Mr.. Gala
