No Unity for Democratic Party

not wishing to be tagged Q
Deep south Southerner,

as q Western Senator, rather

He lost nothing thereby and
made some slight gain. The

ance for moderate civil rights

hand at the party's helm,
rather than that of an East.
erner. His chances Of nomi-
nation are small. But he will
be a major factor in deter
mining the nominee.
The right-wing SouthernerS
would walk out Of the conven-
ton but for fear Of losing COM
mittee positions in the Con-
gress of 1861. They are not
at all adverse to a party split.
In fact, a majority Of them
are not at all interested in
whether a Democratic Pres
ident is elected. Some would
prefer not to have one. on the
theory that if a Democrat is
elected he will be too liberal
for them.
They are willing to have
party unity only if it is on
their terms. Perhaps two or
three States will have their
delegations grit their teeth
and sit out the convention so
as to avoid the stigma Of
boiling or creating a third
party. But the leadership in
these States almost certainly
will withhold their electoral
votes from the party nominee
il he is, in their view. to
liberal. And since this is an
unavoidable conclusion, we
may expect to see this act Of
angry futility carried out.
A truly united Democratic
Party therefore is an i'm
possibility.
But what may emerge. II
the blood letting is great in
the next Congress, is a unity
Of the East and West. The
race-hating Dixiecrats Of 1948
could not defeat Harry
Truman.
Farm dissatisfaction, which
was one of the contributing
elements Of the Truman tri-
umph, will exist in 1860. II
the Democratic convention
would quickly create a strong
ticket and place it on a forth
right platform, without any
appessement of the major
issues, it might repeat the
history of 1948. This is a pos
sibility, but the odds are
heavy against it.

I am announcing today my
candidacy for the presidency of

The presidency is the most
powerful Office in the free
world. Through its leadership
can come a more vital life for
our people. In it are centered
the hopes of the globe around
us for freedom and a more Sc
cure life. For it is in the
executive branch that the
most crucial decisions of this
century must be made in the
next four years:
How to end or alter the bur-
densome arms race, where So
Wet gains already threaten our
very existence; how to main-
tain freedom and order in the
newly emerging nations; how
to rebuild the stature of Ameri-
can science and education: how
to prevent the collapse Of ouI
farm economy and the decay
Of our cities; how to achieve
without further imitation OF
unemployment, expanded eco-
nomic growth benef1ting all
Americans. and how to give
direction to our traditional
moral purpose, awakening
every American to the dangers
and opportunities that con-
front us.
These are among the real
issues Of 1860. And it is on
the basis Of these issues that
the American people must
make their fateful choice for
their future.
