"For many years the Democrats have taken the South for granted, but I think you'll see some changes in the campaign next year," he said.
What role does the southern Negro play in this political turbulence?
Now, Kennedy is pressing the civil rights drive home, but many Negro leaders complain, what there is, came too late, and many of their gains are actually being made by young Negroes who have achieved integration through their mass demonstrations.
NEGROES IN THE SOUTH, for the most part, have been tied to the Democratic party since the days of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Like southern whites, they took the national political maneuverings and civil rights planks of the two parties, with a grain of salt.
The best concensus is that no man knows exactly which way the Negro vote will swing next year. President Eisenhower sent troops into Little Rock to enforce integration. President Kennedy moved in troops to protect James H. Meredith at Oxford, Miss.
Democrats in some southern cities are moving to nail down the Negro vote.
GEORGIANS PICKED up their newspapers recently to learn that two Negroes — one 34-year-old and the other 77-year-old — had been named to the Democratic State Executive Committee.
In Tennessee, Gov. Frank Clement appointed one Negro each to the State Pardons and Parole Board and the State Board of Education.
The Democrats have launched a nation-wide drive to register millions of Negro voters. In the South, where the Negro has been either apathetic or barred from registering, Democrats have put Georgia state Sen. Leroy R. Johnson on the bandwagon to drum up registration. Johnson is the top elected Negro official in the south, the first Negro in any deep south legislature in decades.
What do GOP party chairmen in the South think about a candidate in the 1964 presidential election?
THE ANSWER IS Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz.-hands down.
Drake Edens, South Carolina GOP party chairman, summed it up this way, typical of many southern Gold-water backers:
There is, as there is before every national election, talk of a Dixiecrat move and unpledged electors. Thus far this has been confined mainly to Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.
"Sen. Goldwater so nearly represents the idea of the average conservative southernner that we have devoted our total energies in securing the nomination for him. We have generally given very little thought to second choices. I am sure there are good Republican possibilities about the nation. But Sen. Goldwater simply stands head and shoulders over them."
