Through most of the campaign the Democrats had managed to keep matches away from their highly inflammable civil rights problem. But Democratic National Committee Chairman Paul Mulholland Butler struck some huge sparks on ABC-TV's College News Conference. "Those in the South who are not deeply dedicated to the philosophies of the Democratic Party will have to go their own way," he snapped, "take political asylum where they can find it, either in the Republican Party or a third party."

...Washington National Chairman Butler, already worried over the Orval Faubus effect on northern Negro voters, quickly supported Gravel for his "integrity, candor and intelligence," snapped that the National Committee, which rules on its own membership, will keep Gravel in office until the 1960 convention. Louisiana's U.S. Senator Russell Long, in turn, noted pointedly that the State Committee decides who shall be called a Democrat on the ballot-a strong suggestion that Louisiana might turn thumbs down on the presidential and vice presidential candidates if the rebels do not get their...
