Demo Senators Turn Hopeful Eyes on Dixie
Three Democratic senators forecast solid Dixie support for the Democrats in 1958 and 1960. Senator Smathers warns the South seeks full recognition and a seat in the main dining room from a party that will cater to its interests. Senator Gore argues Republicans are unsympathetic to Southern economic needs and will not gain durable strength in the region. Senator Talmadge says Americans reject Republican philosophy and urges new Democratic leadership from the younger generation.
