Why Net A Southern Party?
<Ft^n The Albany Herald.)
Th« Atlanta Constitution, in a
leading editorial this morning,
reitttrns to its suggestion ot last
spring that the Democrats norai
®ate a Southern man for Presi¬
dent, The article follows:
“The character of the defeat
administered the Democratic na
tional ticket h*.-s had one effects
most gratifying. It has served;
as an object Wesson corroborative
of the contortion the Constitution
has for a leng time advanced,
that—
“The Democrats of the Sf*uth
should insist upon the nomina¬
tion of a Southern man for the
presidesv in 1908!
“There is reproduced uprn this
page an editorial from the Con
Btitutwm of March 31, Oast, in
which such a course was-airongly
advocated. In this editorial, th<
unwisdom of submitting longer
to the senseless embargo placed
upor thb South—for which, it is
fair to say, Southern Democrats
have themselves been in a large
measure responsible—war strong
ly presented. Speaking of con¬
ditions prevailing last spring, and
with an eye to the future, the
Censtitution said:
“ ‘For the Democresfcio presi¬
dential nomination n«w under
consideration there are no South
«ra candidates, and tli>s fact en¬
ables us to discuss the matter
“without reference to the present
campaign and solely with the
'■view of emphasizing ^he justice
of the claim that, from this time
on, the embargo against South¬
ern nominations must >be raised.

presidential "availability.* ’’
“Since the extent of Tuesday’s
result has been fully realized,
several of our Southern contem¬
poraries have come to the front
with this same suggestion. We
welcome their aid.
‘■The suggestion is one that
Southern Democrats should heed.
A large part of the responsibility
for this embargo has been due to
Southern Democrats themselves.
They have set assde their strong
men, time after time, simply be¬
cause they were Southern, p r
mitting the'Other sections of th
country to name the party’s pi ev¬
ident ia! candidates.
We can see no possible
grounds for the assumption that
in any state>of this union a Dem¬
ocratic nominee would be voted
against solely because he was a
Southern man. On the contrary,
we firmly'believe the country at
large will have greater respect
for the Southern Democracy when
it assertsiits rights and does this
by presenting to the nation a
Southern candidate for the presi¬
dency.
“And right now is the time to
set on foot a movement to that
end.”
All that the Constitution says is
true and timely, and it is not our
purpose co take issue with it on
the general idea of having the
South assert its rights in the'pol¬
itics of <&a ? count! y, or at least Sn
the Democratic party, for which
the Southern States furnish, on
an average, four-fifths of the
electoral votes. But why not or¬
ganize a Southern party and’have
done with it? Call it the South¬
ern party, and let it be a South¬
ern party in fact as well as in
name, without caring a thrip
about -‘what the North will say.”
Once organized and solidified
for self-protection and with the
avowed purpose of claiming its
rights iin congress and at the
hand3 of the political party in
power, whether it be Democratic,
Republican or what not. a South¬
ern party would at once become
the balance of power in national
polities *nd more could be aceeoi
plished'ifor the Southern people
as a people and for the South as
a section in the next eight years
than has been accomplished by
being hewers of wood and haulers
of water for Yankee candidates
calling themselves Democrats
during the forty years that have
passed since the close of the war
between the two sections.
Incidentally, it may be remark¬
ed that when politically fenced
off to itself, so to speak, the South
could manage the negro and solve
the “negro problem” in its own
way without caring a rap for
what toe great North said about
it.
This proposition may be met
with the suggestion that such an
organization would be sectional.
Granted. Let it be sectional in
name as it now is in fact, That
the North is sectional and has the
advantage of us in wealth and in
number is now too apparent to
admit of discussion. It was fully
verified in last Tuesday’s election.
Let us have a Southern party
and be Southerners in fact as
well as in name, and play for
what we can get as a distinct sec¬
tion.
For one, we have lost all hope
of living to see the line of sec<
tionalism that divides tne North
and the South wiped out, politi¬
cally, and we have grown tired of
truckling to Northern ideas and
Northern prejudices in our poli¬
tics. Let us organize on our own
side of the line and at least main¬
tain our self-respect and be pre¬
pared to fight the devil with fire
whenever opportunity is pre¬
sented.
