Many things make it. OF supreme
importance that the South be on
the winning side in 1860 and not just
nurse its grievance in lost corner.
It could be our last chance to
be national balance Of power.
We can't hope for segregationist

The magazine South agrees with
those Of us who are saying Southern
Democrats must be free nationally
but hold to the party at home.
The question is whether this free
dom should be used only to back a
third candidate and deadlock the
electoral college or whether. prior
to that. ii should be used to influ-
ence the choices Of the two existing
parties.
The trougle with deadlocking the
electoral college is that the two
major parties would probably gang
up on the South in that shocking
and conscious event
Certainly it is worth while to try
before that to bargain for an en-
durable candidate and platform
from one or both Of the existing
parties. not segregationist but con-
stitution-minded.

to Tilden at Wimbledon in

Wilmer is "high" on Donald.
He had this to say about WASH

strokes are sound but the thing
that impreSses me most about
this youngster is his poise.
Against Wimbledon winners,
Bulge Patty and Gardner Null

Joe. That's a good sign. Most
kids clutch when they get on
the stadium court but Dell
handled himself like a vet
