All Repenting Dixiecrats Will Get Patronage
Democratic patronage policy outlined by William Boyle requires that applicants oppose the President no longer and that federal appointments go only to those who accept the party principles. J Howard McGrath backs excluding anti civil rights attackers and state rights supporters, while leaving some room for reconciliation of certain Mississippi figures like Senator Stennis who say they voted for the state tickets. The Coleman appointment in Mississippi is watched to gauge Truman's stance toward Stennis and others.
