Demo. Party Must
Lead U. S. Out of
Chaos—Talmadge
ROME, Ga. (GPS). — The
American people are “crying for a
Moses” to lead them out of the
modern-day “wilderness” — and
they’re looking to the Democratic
Party “to be that Moses,” in the
opinion of U. S. Senator Herman
E. Talmadge.
Speaking at the huge, colorful
North Georgia Democratic fund
raising rally, just held in Rome,
at which he introduced Tennes
see’s U. S. Sen. Albert Gore, Geor
gia’s junior senator said the
masses of Americans still place
their faith in the Party of Jeffer
son and Jackson as the party
which more nearly represents
their interests.
“The future of the Democratic
Party depends directly upon its
ability to translate that faith into
positive action and that action
into concrete deeds. The future
of the United States may well de
pend upon how the Democratic
Party responds to that challenge,”
he asserted.
Expressing what he believes to
be the feeling of the American
people about the way the country
is being run today, Talmadge de
clared :
“Americans are weary of bear
ing the burdens of a national gov
ernment which has ceased to be
their servant ... are weary of tol
erating the regimentation of a
sprawling bureaucracy which has
ceased to be responsive to their
will . . . are weary of countenanc
ing the extravagances of global
planners who have no concern for
the welfare of the people here at
home.
"Americans are weary of listen
ing to the empty promises of false
prophets who cry peace when
there is no peace and plenty when
there is no plenty. Americans are
restive under the yoke of oppres
sive taxes and irresponsible gov
ernment spending which are de
stroying the economy of this coun
try ... are frustrated by judicial
and executive dictation which is
robbing them and their children
of the fruits of their heritage of
freedom.
PLEASE VOTE FOR THE
GYMNASIUM BOND ISSUE
TUESDAY, JUNE 11
We, the Bryan County Teachers Association are
urging all of our patrons and friends to vote for the
building of the new gymnasiums to better promote
the Physical Education Programs at our schools.
These gymnasiums will serve many purposes to
aid our future citizens and leaders of tomorrow
—our children.

"Americans are crying for
a Moses to lead them out of the
wilderness of their restiveness and
frustration and into the Promised
Land of restored opportunity and
freedom for the individual. Ameri
cans are looking to the Democratic
Party to be that Moses.”
And the young senator from
Lovejoy believes his party can re
store Americanism in this coun
try. But he reminds those who
may have forgotten that “the
Democratic Party was founded as
the party of constitutional princi
ple.” Along that line he said:
“The Democratic Party grew
strong in its espousal of the right
of the individual to manage his
own affairs and its insistence upon
maintaining at all costs the guar
antees of freedom and local self
determination contained in the Bill
of Rights of our Constitution . . .
It has been repudiated only when
it lost sight of its aims and al
lowed itself to become the tool of
special interests and pressure
groups.”
Contending that the American
people “have rejected the philso
phy now epitomized by “Modern
Republicanism,” Sen. Talmadge
said the Democratic Party now
stands on the threshold of the
greatest opportunity ever afforded
by any political party in the his
tory of the nation.
"When the Democratic Party
goes before the people in 1960 it
can take one of two courses,” he
asserted. “It can seek to appease
the pressure groups and pander to
the minorities with a ‘me too' plat
form, or it can offer the elector
ate’s clear-cut choice between the
philosophies of state socialism on
the one hand and fundamental con
stitutional government on the
other.
“The American people were not
offered such a choice in either
1952 or 1956. They were forced to
choose between personalities rather
than between issues. They were
required to choose men rather than
principles. I am convinced that
given a choice between men and
principles, the American people
will take principle every time. I
say that because men change
principles do not.”
Talmadge said if the Democratic
Party is to assume the role of a
modern Moses it must begin pre
paring now by doing these things:
1. It must seek new leaders
from among the new generation of
Democrats “who have not had their
values warped by bureaucratic
philosophies.”
2. It must write for itself a
bold, new program “setting forth
new concepts of governmental
service based upon observing rath
er than violating constitutional
guarantees.”
3. It must offer the American
people and the world “a long
range, forward-looking philosophy
of world leadership abroad and
self-betterment at home which will
promote and strengthen rather
than deplete and dgstroy the eco
nomy of the U. S. upon which the
Free World is so dependent.”
4. It. must recognize that “it
represents and speaks for the peo
ple and make it totally respon
sive to their needs and wishes.”
Concluding he said: “Our Demo
cratic Party stands at the cross
roads. If its members will recog
nize realities and meet one an
other halfway, not only the Party
but also the entire nation—and, for
that matter, the whole world —will
benefit. I, for one, am ready to
do my part to achieve that end.”
Opportunity Is
Unlimited For
Grads —Griffin
ATLANTA. (GPS). — Com
mencement season is a momentous
period in the lives of many Geor
gia high school seniors. And it
is a busy time also for Georgia’s
chief executive.
Reason: On top of his regular
heavily - scheduled speech - making
chores, Gov. Marvin Griffin has
been delivering the principal ad
dress at a number of commence
ment exercises this spring. For
example, in the course of just a
few days recently he addressed
the graduating classes of high
schools at Taylorsville and Pavo
and of the Johnson High School
in Rome.
And he enjoys it, too, because
the education of Georgia's youth
is one of the closest things to his
heart. What does he tell these
boys and girls as they enter a new
phase in their lives. For one thing,
he urges them to remain in Geor
gia and the South where, he says,
THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
opportunities are unlimited.
“There are many roads ahead
that lie open to you,” the Governor
says. “Some of you will go to col
lege and then on to various pro
fessional fields. Some will go to
technical schools and others of you
will enter the business world.
“Whichever path you take, re
member that the future of this
state and nation depends upon the
manner in which you conduct your
selves and the extent to which you
develop your natural endowments.
“There was a time in our his
tory when an editor named Hor
ace Greeley said: ‘Go West, Young
Man.’ If Mr. Greeley were alive
today his advice to the young peo
ple of this country would be ‘Go
South’ for today there are un
limited opportunities in the South
and in our own State of Georgia.
“Our state is depending on you
to carry on the unprecedented
progress which we have enjoyed
in recent years and to help build
for all of us a glorious future.”
