Byrnes Calls for Democratic Primary in South Carolina
Gov. Byrnes urged revoking the 31-18 vote of the State Democratic Executive Committee against a primary and arranging one. The move aimed to allow the party nominee for the Senate to withdraw in favor of a primary. Edgar A. Brown was the nominee, with Thurmond, Dorn, Breckinton and others mentioned as write-in or potential candidates amid a contested primary absence.
