Fourteen elections have come and

ogy. The outcome Of the elections
whether the victor was Democratic
tr Republican, whether the result
was a surprise or cut-and-dried,
whether We were at war or at
peace .-seemed to make little diff
ference. Political parties spend mil
hons OF dollars to arouse the voters
to the tremendous consequences of
failing to vote the right way. Yet
the spending habits of the people
have continued undisturbed by the
turmoil.
Consequently. it seems useless to
get too excited about election years.

Battle of Midway is considered the first
decisive check of the japanese offensive in
the Pacific.

There are other historic events which

South and Democrats

DEMOCRATIC National Chairman Paul
M. Butter recently said he thought the
Democratic Party would adopt "moder-
ate" platform plank on the race segregation
issue By that. Butter did not mean the
convention would bubble about the Su-
preme Courts decision on segregation in
the schools.
He did mean to say the Democratic Party
platform, while supporting this decision,
would not contain specific recommends
tons, such as the use of guns or bavonets.
to enforce the decision
Butler said he thought the matter was
IN the hands Of the courts. and he is GER
tainly right here. But he also admitted that
his view was not shared by all of the top
functionaries i'm the Democratic Party.
Among them are Walter Reuther, Governor
Mennon Williams, Hubert Humphrey, and
many others.
Evidently it is beginning to dawn on the
Democrats that the South is not so solid
after all, and this is pretty obvious les
son, in view of the fact that the South has
not been solid for the Democratic nominee
since 1944-during the war.
We would not be surprised if some South

year although we look for the Republican

Moreover, there is belief in the South
that the small farmer fares badly under
a Republican Administration
1t will be interesting to see if the North
ern radicals, or the moderates, gain control
of the Democratic Convention in Chicago
If the radicals gain control--that is, the
ultra. leftwingers then certain state
delegations from the South will probably
walk out of the Convention
In this case, third candidate will be
supported and, maybe a third party or
some sort of independent movement will be
formed. This is true because some delega-
tons from Southern states will not support
Eisenhower, and if they walk out of the
Democratic Convention, they will have to
take independent action. This is distinct
possibility, and Butter sees it-as evidenced
by his careful words on the subject of the
civil rights plank in the Democratic Party

Memorable June Events

THE MONTH of June holds several dates
which every citizen of this country
should always remember. These occurrences
have affected the history of this nation
and the lives of it's citizens.
On June 26th 1917, small body of
United States troops landed in France.
These were the first troops which had ever
left this nation to engage in foreign war
on the Continent of Europe. They, Of
course, preceded the millions of men who
made up the American Expeditionary
Force. Their reception was enthusiastic
and their effect upon French morale con-
siderable.
During the first World War, on June
9th, 1918, occurred the famous counter-at-
tack of the American Second Division, with
its Marine Brigade, which stopped the Ger
man offensive at Chateau Thierry This
check to the enemy was followed by the
beginning of an advance along the entire
Allied line and is considered a special con-
trlbution to the saving of Paris and the
termination of the First World War
Nearly twenty-four years later, in the
Pacific Ocean, on June 5th, 1912, occurred
the Battle of Midway This United States
victory stopped the japanese effort to
advance across the ocean, adequately de-
