Sparkman endorses Stevenson during Dixiecrat homecoming
Senator John Sparkman assured Alabama Dixiecrats that they will back Adlai Stevenson as the Democratic ticket campaigns. His speech to about 10 000 at Huntsville launched a four day homecoming swing from Arab to Birmingham. He avoided campaign issues but indicated Stevenson could satisfy Southern voters on civil rights and other matters. Sparkman noted GOP interest in the South but warned such attention may fade after Election Day.
