George May Be Dixie Nominee for Democratic Ticket
Washington Senator Walter George of Georgia is courted by Southern conservatives as a possible Dixie candidate to oppose President Truman. If a foot is put down by Senator Russell the Georgia name could be offered at a Philadelphia convention in July on a states rights platform. George is said to resist Truman civil rights policies if Southern backing is broad, with Jackson Mississippi hosting a states rights meeting involving 40 states. Other potential candidates include Fielding Wright and Douglas MacArthur. McClellan and George have dissented from Truman’s anti segregation and anti lynching stance.
