Well, anyway, you will have to admit that Governor Faubus knows his Southerners...
...weapon: a battered copy of the Southern Manifesto. Gore's refusal to join 19 other Dixie Senators in this 1956 blast against civil rights made him a "traitor to the South," charged Cooper, who swore that his first official act would be to sign it.* Cheered by Orval Faubus' landslide just across the Mississippi, Cooper's rednecks promised to prove that only stout segregationists can now win primaries below the Mason-Dixon. But at vote-counting time in the as-good-as-elected Democratic primary late last week, Albert Gore was renominated with 60% of the total...

Only last week Segregationist Buford Ellington won the decisive Democratic primary in Tennessee...
