Poor John
Alabama’s John Sparkman, 65, is a shambling, Soft spoken of the man should feel unsafe in his office of a member of the U.S. Senate. However, it is a “historical” Southern Democrats, and 28 years on Capitol Hill, including the past 18 Senate. He is the No. 2 man on the Foreign Relations Committee, and, more importantly, has offered all types of legislation crucial to his state of the economy, such as assistance for housing and small businesses. He shared with his colleague Lister Hill, a Liberal VAT great responsibility for the fact that Alabama receives and greater cut aid confederation. Fisher has even had its day on the national scene, as Adlai Stevenson running mate in 1952.
But as last week’s speech cloakrooms, the Senate and the County Court of buildings in Alabama was that Fisher is in a desperate difficulties encountered in seeking re-election next year. His problem is the rights of citizens.
At Sweet. Not that John Sparkman is an integrationist-far from it. Over the years, he has voted against more than 100 civil rights bills. But segregationists tenacious, he never sounded as if she really means. Last week, in a speech against the Senate, an anti-Poll control of the voting rights of accounting change, stubborn Fisher said: “The legislation of this type, this is not designed so that any great nation, is not sound, and Congress should think long and hard before it plunges into an emotion dissemination of extreme measure. ”
More private, Fisher expressed his feelings: “I’ve never tried to inflame emotions. I have fought all civil rights alongside the struggle of South senators, but on the Constitution and practice. I have always maintained that the problems were not solved the race by law, but through economic improvement. ”
Such sentiment has little in common with other senators, like Jim’s East Southern Mississippi, South Carolina’s Strom Thurmond, Georgia’s Herman Talmadge, or even Georgia’s Richard Russell, whose höfische sometimes, sometimes acid grooved willingness to fight was missed by evil southern Senate in their fight against voting rights. Russell was nearly four months, emphysema, lung disease, but last week he announced that he felt sufficiently fit for a seventh term next year.
More than any other mark Fisher’s segregationism seems namby-pamby compared with Governor George Wallace. Explains State Democratic Executive Committee Chairman Roy Mayhall: “John was a very good Democrat-trailer, and it is done much for the people of Alabama. But she did not think that this subject. You only have one thing in his opinion: segregation. They hated Kennedy. Détestent Johnson. And they hate John Sparkman.
