Party Rebels Would Sacrifice Seniority
Two liberal Democratic senators, Hubert H. Humphrey and Fred R. Harris, propose stripping seniority from any Democrat who disloyally aids non party nominees or endorses discriminatory groups. The plan targets Eastland and Stennis in Mississippi while aiming to curb cross banner runs like Harry Byrd Jr.’s 1970 bid. The measure defines official party by state party recognition and could affect actions by the Loyalist Democrats in Mississippi.

The plan, praised by the 1969 White House conference, invites 90 days of public comment and could begin nationwide in years rather than months.
