Welcome Winners

If the highways and the byways of pol
iticS were to be searched and searched
again, it would be hard to find two public
men more unalike than Clifford Case of New
Jersey and J. Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina Yet, in its own way, the victory
of each of them at the polls will be well
coined in Washington.
There are those who look askance at
Mr. Thurrnond'S stand on States Rights and
the segregation issue. But even these must
have been impressed by his sensational
write-in victory-141 900 to 82,000-over the
regular Democratic Senate nominee, Edgar
A. Brown. So far as can be aScertained,
this is the first time that write-in candi-
date has been elected to the Senate.
Two things, in addition to his own Wig
orouS campaign, were working for Mr..
.Thurmond. One was the high-handed man
ner in which the State Democratic Executive
Committee, largely dominated by Mr.. Brown,
decided to nominate that same Mr. Brown,
and no one else, for the Senate seat vacated
by the death of Senator Maybank. This was
hotly resented by the voters. The other was
the all-out support which Governor James
F. Byrnes gave to Mr.. Thurmond. In this,
there were, OF course, political wheels within
wheels But the fact remains that Governor
Byrnes went to the mat on this ISSUE His
friends in Washington-and there are many
of them without regard to intraparty rup-
tures-will be happy that he did not go
down to defeat in the late evening of his
political career.
There will be qualification for different
reasons over Mr.. Cases. victory, assuming
that recount does not upset the apparent
result. Here was man who was attacked
by Senator Mccarthy, and who did not hesi-
tate to speak out against the Wisconsin
Senator Here is liberal Republican who
was let down in his own State by the Old
Guard element of his party Here is man
who was supposed to be defeated over
whelmingly. But by dint of his own de-
termined campaigning, plus the constant
support of the President, he managed to
turn the tide It was close thing, to be
sure, but 1t will be good to have Mr.. Case
in the Senate, If and when he comes to
Washington.

Problems Of Inteerotion
