Loyalty pledge deal calms Dixie split at Chicago convention
A North South compromise on a White House drafted loyalty pledge calmed the threat of a 1948 style party split. The pledge with a proviso to avoid forcing delegates against state laws or party rules was approved by the Credentials Committee and heads to the floor today. Key Southerners expressed mixed satisfaction as Mississippi and Texas seating votes loomed, with John Stennis voicing Mississippi’s hesitation. The plan aims to unite Democrats amid civil rights tensions and a looming party discipline vote.
