Texas Democrat
Protests Pledge
CHICAGO, July 24 (P) — One
Texas delegate to the Democrat-
ic convention said today he had
filed his protest against the loy-
alty pledge.
Curtis Douglass, Pampa, said
he didn’t intend to abide by the
conditions. He has remained at
the convention. The Texas dele-

approved the loyalty rule by a
majority.

Gov. Allan Shivers beamed a

national Democratic convention.
It was to be re-broadcast Thurs-

Time Runs Out
As time ran out on the candi-

ments:
1. Ralph Yarborough, candi-
date for governor, assailed
what he termed the “vast out-
pouring of money in the last
week of the campaign by the
dictatorial machine in control
of the governor’s office.”
2. A member of the State
Board of Public Welfare, J.
Byron Saunders of Tyler, said
old age pension payments have
increased 23 per cent in Texas
since Allan Shivers became
governor.
3. Lindley Beckworth, candi-
date for U. S. senate, said in

TVHERE HAS BEEN a great im-
l provement in the service
that The Daily Register provides
for its bi-annual Democratic pri-
mary election party scheduled
Saturday night.
This has come about by de-
velopments in communications
and transportation, largely, but
there are other factors entering
into the picture.
The citizens of Cooke county
who come to Gainesville Satur-
day night for the election party
are primarily interested in the
returns of precinct and county
races.
There are four contested pre-
cinct races, three contested coun-
ty races and three contested dis-
trict races and all but two of
these contests will be decided
Saturday night, while there is
always the possibility of one can-
didate getting a majority over
two or more oponents in the
other races.
the race.
There was a tremendous ex-
plosion of warmth and sympathy
and affection when the “Veep”
marched down the platform onto
the rostrum last night. The organ
began to play “My Old Kentucky
Home” and rolling billows of
music and cheering thundered
through the great hall.
Barkley stood looking down at
the demonstration, unsmiling, al-
most impassive. From time to
time he moved and bowed, ac-
knowledging a tremendous sa-
lute. It went on for 24 minutes,
constantly hitting new peaks of
sound and excitement.
Finally, they let him speak.
He had no manuscript and the
teleprompter was blank and
dark. He said he had not had
time, “since I received this invi-
tation,” to write a speech.
He said, “I am not here as a
candidate for any office this con-
vention can confer.” In the back
of the hall, and in the galleries,
a chorus welled up: “no—No.”
The “Veep” shook his head.
As he spoke, reviewing the 20-
year record of the Democrats,
his voice began to gather volume
and momentum. He said:
“I believe the programs of the
Democratic party give the great-
est good to the greatest number
of the American people and if I
did not believe that, I would join
some other party that does be-

5. Atty. Gen. Price Daniel,
carrying his U. S. senate bid to
Baytown, said the CIO political
action committee had endorsed
one of his oponents, Beck-
worth. But Daniel said the CIO
couldn’t talk its Texas mem-
bers into following the en-
dorsement of the national CIO-
PAC.
6. E. W. Napier, making his
senate campaign in Houston
again, was arrested, taken to
jail, and released on bond for
displaying signs on a vehicle
without a permit. Then when
he applied for a permit, he was
told by the city attorney that
none was needed.
“Without Pledge”

phoned statement to his Austin
headquarters, said terms of the
seating of Texas’ uninstructed
Democratic delegation in the
national convention left Texas ,

ted delegates and weren’t con-
ceding a thing. Averell Harri-
man, the mutual security admin-
istrator, also was still plugging
hard for the convention’s grand
prize.
Kefauver, in a news confer-
ence, declared: “I’m quite con-
fident I’ll be nominated.” He said
he had picked up “more than
60” delegates in the last 2%
hours.
As the convention began its
climactic day, there was still a
big question mark over the sta-
tus of the delegates from Vir-
ginia, Louisiana and South Car-
olina who have balked at sign-
ing any sort of advance “loy-
alty” pledge to the nominees.
Leaders of the three states
held a strategy conference re-
portedly aimed at forcing a de-
cision on whether they will be
allowed to cast their 64 votes.
Gov. John S. Battle met with
Govs. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina and Robert Kennon of
Louisiana in a private session.
They are understood to be
working on the draft of a letter
to convention Chairman Sam
Rayburn. The letter would seek
clarification of their status.

nominating speeches.
Since all three have talked at
signing a “loyalty” pledge, that
could precipitate a showdown
scrap then and there on whether
they would be allowed to cast
feir 64 votes in the convention.
The fuse to touch it off would
be for some delegate to challenge
at that point their right to vote.
The convention had started its
nominations roll call when Ray-
burn passed this word to news-
men.
Sen. Richard Russell of Geor-
gia, the south’s hope and pride,
got his name before the conven-
tion first.
That touched off the expected
roaring demonstration with Dixie
all-out to do the honors for its
champion.
With the long list of candi-
dates, and attendant nominating
speeches and demonstrations, it
could be late in the day before
the Louisiana-South Carolina is-
sue was reached.
Backers of the Stevenson
“draft” were trying to make it
a band-wagon for him. Some
supporters of other candidates
conceded the Stevenson friends
were giving it that look, but they
weren’t conceding he could
make it.

and a fraction—needed to nomi-

The convention was organized
originally on the basis of 1,230
delegate votes, meaning a ma-
jority would be 615, plus a frac-
tion.
Convention managers planned
to hold off on the actual ballot-
ing until a night session. f
A day meeting was set aside
for the preliminaries of nomi-
nating speeches, demonstrations
and the hoopla that sets the
stage.
As the hour approached,
Stevenson still wasn’t saying
whether he would accept. But
nobody doubted that he would.
And there was still no public
word from President Truman as
to his views—something many
delegates had hoped for?
Kansas delegates, who have

President Truman personally
told reporters that CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray and U. S.
Steel Chairman Benjamin
Fairless “have just advised me
that six major steel companies
and the United Steel Workers
of America (CIO) have
reached agreement on impor-
tant basic issues.”
The president anounced that
Murray is calling his 170-man
wage policy committee to meet
here tomorrow to ratify the
aggeement worked out today
in the White House. “This
should lead to a speedy return
to work,” the president said.
The strike had been on for 55

tration there have been two great
world wars, I ask them to tell
the American people what they
would have done if they had
been in power on Dec. 7, 1941,
when Pearl Harbor was attacked
by the armies of Japan.”
And he went on to say that
American troops are in Korea
today because “we pledged our
word in San Francisco that as
members of the United Nations
we would come to the defense of
any member nations under attack
anywhere in the world.”
Then, the man they said was
“too old” referred to his age. He
said he spent his birthday last
year in Korea.
“It was the best birthday I
have ever had, but it is not the
last one I will ever have by a
number of years.”
His whole speech was a kind
of keynote address. It listed
what he called the achievements
of the Democrats, and defended
what many analysts believe may
be the party’s most vulnerable
points—Korea, the United Na-
tions, and foreign relations.
When it was over, the demon-
stration was even greater than
the one that preceded Barkley’s
speech.
The ovation went on and on,
it was a moment—a moment
that lasted more than a half-
hour—of complete triumph for
the man who was “too old” to be
the choice of his party.
with the new life and spirit he
breathed into it last night when
he spoke to more than 12,000
people, whipped them into a
frenzy of excitement, and stirred
one of the unforgettable specta-
cles of a generation.
His appearance at the conven-
tion was intended as a kind of
“consolation prize” for a man
deeply hurt.
