Southern Governors Back Dixie Move Against Truman
A source says the Governor will seek a Supreme Court advisory ruling on the presidential electors law this week. If valid, Alabama could block Dixie Democratic support for a national Truman bid. Folsom and six Southern governors agreed to oppose Truman on civil rights if he secures the nomination. The advisory opinion, while nonbinding, would reflect likely Court voting in a real test case, argued by Gessner and T. McCorvey that the 1945 act forces electors to back party nominees and that electors are state officers beyond Legislature control.
