Southern Democrats Demand That
New York Act.
Washington correspondence New York
Herald.
When Representative Burleson of
Texas said in the Herald last Sunday
that If New York did not quit qquarrel
ing over lta choice for the presidency
the South might end the matter by
putting forward a Southern candidate,
he started a very wide discussion
among the democrats of "Dixie.”
The recent discussion of the ques
tlon of nbniinatlng a Southern man for
president has aroused them to a full
realization of the position the South
occupies in waiting on New York. Dec-
larations come from some Southern
statesmen that the time has arrived
when the South shall assert itself.
Some Southern democrats favor mak
ing that assertion at St. Louis next
July and the putting forward of a
Southern man for the presidency. A
few of them believe that the time will
not arrive in the lifetime of the pres-
ent generation when a Southern man
can be nominated and elected presi-
dent. The discussion, however,-!*! in-
teresting.
A great maority of the Southern
Congressmen still look to New York
to supply a conservative candidate, but
they are alarmed at the disposition of
the Empire State democracy to divide
as between Cleveland and Parker
There is little disposition to put for-
ward a Southern man, only on tha
ground that he Is from the South, but
the idea is taking deep root that if
New York will not make the choice
the ever dependable democracy of the
South is entitled to the candidate.
Representative Burleson spoke the
sentiments of a large number of his
Southern colleagues when he said re-
cently that unless ,New York agrees
the suppoit of Judge Parker and
enters the St. Louis convention pre-
pared to give him the solid vote of the
Empire 8tate the South will put for-
ward a Southern man and urge his
nomination, taking the ground that a
Southern man would be stronger even
in New York State than a New York
man with the New York democrats di-
vided against him. Mr. Burleson spoke
for a much smaller number of South
ern democrats, however, when he add-
ed that the agreement of the South
would either be on a Southern man or
upon Mr. Bryan. There are very few
democrats In Congress from any State
who believe that under any circum
stances Mr. Bryan could or Bhould be
made the nominee.
Representative Claude Kitchen of
North Carolina would entirely elimi-
nate the question of location in the se-
lection of a candidate.
“Tha time has come.” be said, “when
the democratic party should not re-
frain from nominating a strong man
for president because the rn/n happens
to come from a Southern state. In the
next democratic convention, democracy
character and ability should be the
determining factors in the, choice of-a
standard bearer. Of course,” he added
"in this event the South would have
a natural monopoly of candidates, but
as we are opposed to monopolies, we
should not take advantage of the situ-
ation.'’
Representative Swanson of Vir-
ginia used language very similar to
that employed by Mr. Kitchen. “The
time has come when the South can
safely make a presidential nomina-
tion,” he declared, “and any sectional
preudice or appeal would not be effec-
tive. There is a general disposition
to ignore sectional prejudice, and any
person or party who would make such
an appeal would fall to strike a re-
sponsive chord In the hearts of the
American people. I can see no ob-
jection, other considerations being
equal, to the nomination of a Southern
man for president, either this year or
at any time in the future."
"If the South haB a suitable man
for president," said Representative
Sims of Tennessee, “I see no reason
why his name should not be presented
in the national convention. But while
these are my views, I want the best
man nominated, without any reference
to any section of the country, and
would not wholly disregard the ques-
tion of availability."
Representative Cowherd of Missouri
said: “The democratic party this year
will be both wise and politic. It will
nominate a man who has been true to
bis party and who will be recognized
by the people*** a safe, conservative
man, emphasizing by these very quali-
ties the present lack of them in the
White House. The party will not pay
so much attention to location as to
qualification, but the ability com-
mand support in doubtful states will
not be overlooked.”
“If the democrats of New York will
get together,” said Bepresentative
Hardwick of Georgia, “and present to
the democracy of the nation a clean,
palatable candidate, such a candidate
will easily carry the South and receive
the democratic nomination, I believe
the democracy of New York at ita com-
ing convention will Indorse Judge Par-
lina,,“8ave the fear, not well founded,
that it would reopen the wounds, hap-
pily fast healing over. Just at this
time, however, I doubt the expediency
of such a policy. We have plenty of
presidential timber-such men as Sen-
ator Bailey of Texas, Judge Speers of
Georgia and others—hut with a strong
man from New York, such as Judge
Parker or any other conservative dem-
ocrat, the chances are strongly la favor
of the election of a democratic presi-
dent, and we would pot wish to Jeop-
ardize our prospects by an experiment
However, the time is here when the
South must take her place in the af-
fairs both of the party and of the gov-
ernment. Penitence has ceased to be
a virtue, Just as patience sometimes
ceases to be.
“Forty years have passed since the
civil war. We are in the Union. We
cast the only solid democratic vote,
and yet we are denied any consider*
ble weight In making the policy oi the
party. .This state of affairs should
change and in 1908 I would1 not be sur-
prised to see the South united on some
strong Southern man l’or the nomina-
tion. We are not only the conserva-
tive element in the democratic party
but we are the great conservative ele-
ment in the country, and the country
needs that conservatism in the man-
agement of its affairs.”
