Demo Officials Eye South Carolina for Next Party Break
Democratic officials in Washington look to South Carolina for a breakthrough in expanding party support. Senators Hill and Sparkman of Alabama and Alabama House members endorsed a regular Democratic slate in the May 2 primary, signaling a shift as South Carolina may return to the fold this coming month. County committees will select state Democratic committee members this month, with ratification planned at the state party convention in April’s third week. If Democrats gain in South Carolina, opposition to the administration’s civil rights program could continue, as former Secretary of State James Byrnes campaigns for governor and vows to oppose civil rights measures.
