Hartman aides recognize
that their candidate seems too
liberal to most SouthernerS,
largely because of his firm
stand on civil rights. Harri-
man has spoken out bluntly in
behalf Of the Supreme Court
decision ending segregation
and the Federal duty to enforce
it. Southerners have bluntly
said he won't do.
Indeed, the hopes Of the
Missouri dark horse, Senator
Stuart Symington, chiefly rest
on the proposition that If Adlai
Stevenson falls by the wayside,
the South and its friends will
rally to Symington to stop
Hartman. It does not do
Hartman any good to permit
this thesis to solidify before
the gavel falls at Chicago.
His hackers entertain no
notion that they can line up
Southern delegates for him.
They do believe that the South
ern stencil Of Hartman as
"a wild Indian" is pure dema-
goguery and they are out to
erase it.
