The Democratic Split

With the adjournment of Con
gress the split in the Democratic
party has become 50 apparent that
hardly anyone not on a political
pay roll tor hoping to get on)
bothers to deny it. Evidence of this
split has been apparent to close OBJ
servers of the political scene for a
long time 1t has now become clear
to practically everybody with any
sort of political interest
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1955-09-01

Except for an occasional ineffec-
tual below, Senator Mccarthy has
faded out of the picture. The
never-ceasing columnar attempts
to convince the public that Mr.
Eisenhower and his administration
are owned and controlled by sinis-
ter elements of Big Business"
continue. but with no appreciable
results. The plain truth is that no
one believes that sort of thing about
Eisenhower. 1t just does not make
sense. II is also to be noted that
the Democrats of the higher type,
such as Senator George of Georgia;
Senator Byrd, of Virginia; Senator
Johnson, of Texas, and others, give
no support to such chargeS-treat
them with contempt. The truth
seems to be that the Democrats are
quite desperate in their efforts to
smear. The most recent was des-
picablC attack upon cX-PreSident
Hoover and the report of the Hoo
Yer Commission In a devastating
reply, Mr. Hoover exposed the ut
ter falsity of the Democratic com
mittCc's allegations, quoting Mr..
James A. Farley and others in
rcfutation and making monkeys out
of the National Committees Of
fetal spokesman.

sort of political interest.
o.
Ordinarily a split in the party in
power is to be expected and is not
taken too seriously. For one reason,
it can be mcnded more easily; for
another. unless too wide or too
deep, the party in power can af-
ford it, But the party out of power
can i'll afford split II is almost
a basic essential that it be united.
AT the moment the split in the
Democratic party quite obviously
has widcncd and dccpcncd while
the rift in the Republican party
has narrowed and lcSscncd. On the
surface, this, without the sustain
ing facts, would seem d onc-Sided,
partisan statement
But here are the sustaining facts.
The simplest and most basic is that
in PIE years the Democrats have
not been able to develop a single
issue against the Eisenhower Adj
ministration. Their first hope, of
course, was that the Administra-
ton would find itself struggling
with a great economic depression,
accompanied by widespread unem-
ployment and distress. This was
the cheerful prediction of the CIO
and ALL labor bosses who had
supported Mr.. Stevenson in 1852
and failed to coerce General Eisen-
hover into denunciation of the
Taft-Hartley Act as a slave labor
law" Democratic leaders Cinclud-
ing Mr.. Stevenson eagerly played
on that tune until it became clear
that the country, under Eisenhower,
was more prosperous than before
and that employment was higher.
For while, an effort was made
to create an issue iii the inter
national field but the swiftncss
with which the President ended the
Korean war and the cOncededly
great success made at the Geneva
Conference made this seem ridiCu-
lous Now, there are few to contend
that at home as abroad the PrcSi-
dent has not increased his prestige
and popularity. This does not
mean he has not made mistakes
1t does not mean that he will not
make many more
What it does mean is that he has
made none that amount to very
much What it does mean is that
his record as a whole is highly com
mendable, pleasing to the public
and that his opponents and critics
today are largely confined to his
opponents and critics of 1852. The
most conspicuous of these are his
rivals in that year, Mr. Stevenson;
Governor Hartman of New York,
who while publicly for Mr. Steven
SON. is privately for himself; Sena-
tor Kefauver, of Tennessee, who is
almost an open candidate for the
nomination; the labor bosses, who
really run the Democratic party;
various Democratic senators of the
left-wing element such as Senator
Wayne Morse of Oregon; Senator
Humphrey, of Minnesota; Senator
Lehman, of New York, and the

windy governor of Michigan,
"SOapy' Williams, who with char
acteristic bad taste, recently tried
to rule Mr. Eisenhower out as a
candidate on the ground that he
might die before his second term
ended.

1t will be noted that all of those
mentioned above belong to the
New Deal element of the party.
They, along with the publicity
agents of the Democratic National
Committee, apparently believe that
the only real hope of the Democrats
in 1856 is to somehow break down
and destroy Mr.. Eisenhower per-
sonally To this end they appear
willing to 90 to any lengths to
damage his reputation and diminish
his popularity, Up to now they have
had singular lack of success.

orders?" asked Smith.

Smith, a stickler for efficiency,
searched through the records
and discovered that such an
order had been issued a decade
earlier, when the bench had

he had the order rescinded.

produced by the defense, of
which the Mississippi sheriff was
a part, was that the body brought
from the river was not Emmett

is lying stretched out dead
What mother would not know
her son, even as Mrs. Mamie
Bradley recognized the decom-
posed body of her son, Emmett

then where is he?)
One of the most important as
poets to come forth from Mr..
Digs investigation was a bit of
information which was discover
ed that, if it could have been
presented in court. would have
taken the lid right off-that is
this: Two Negro eye-witnesses to
the heinous crime were being
held in Jail in Charleston. Mis-
sissippi. She sheriff refused TO
take action. in connection with
getting their release in order to
appear in court.
The 3 Negroes who did testify
were fortunately spearheaded out
OF Mississippi in the dead of the
night, Of which one. Moses
Wright. the child's grandfather,
was offered life time job by
white gentleman of Albany. New
York. a beautiful gesture which
helps to wipe out the nastv taste
in many mouths received by the
nauseating air of the incident.
Diggs proposed various ways to
terminate the shameful and god
less conditions of Mississippi.
Firstly. he emphasized the urgent
need for financial support. Sec
ondly, he proposed to challenge
every congressman's seat that
represents the illiterate state OF
Mississippi. Thirdly, he suggest
ed more pressure on erinning
politicians, OF both parties who
slam doors in our faces. Fourth,
He wished President Eisenhow-
err speedy recovery-but after
he has recuperated, he stated that
he was prepared TO sit on the
lawn of the White House until
Negroes are free from intimida-
ton throughout the United States.
In conclusion. he commented on
the sign which Mississippi has
that reads, This is a good place
to raise a boy"
Our job is to make that sign
mean black or white" concluded
Mr.. Diggs.
