Mss 100 Strom Thurmond Gubernatorial Papers 85 rolls of microfilm representing 78.5 cubic feet

Introduction The material in this microfilm edition consists of the Strom Thurmond Collection Gubernatorial series and parts of the Scrapbooks and Speeches series. It includes correspondence (both official and personal), campaign material, speeches and other items documenting Strom Thurmond’s term as Governor of South Carolina from 1946-1951. Some of this material was originally part of the holdings of the South Caroliniana Library of The University of South Carolina and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. This finding aid was prepared by James Cross in 1998.

The material filmed for this publication was received by Special Collections as accessions 82-2 (from Senator Thurmond), 90-112 (transfer from the South Caroliniana Library, The University of South Carolina), 90-120 (transfer from the South Carolina Department of Archives and History) and 98-47 (also from Senator Thurmond).

General Biographical Note James Strom Thurmond was born on December 5, 1902 in Edgefield, South Carolina, the son of John William and Eleanor Gertrude (Strom) Thurmond. Educated in the Edgefield County public schools, he graduated from Clemson College (now Clemson University) in 1923 with a B.S. degree in horticulture. He was a farmer, teacher and athletic coach until 1929, when he became the Edgefield County superintendent of education, serving in this position until 1933. He read law with his father and was admitted to the South Carolina Bar in 1930. He served as the Edgefield Town and County attorney from 1930 to 1938.

In 1933 Thurmond was elected to the South Carolina Senate and represented Edgefield until he was elected to the Eleventh Circuit judgeship in 1938. When the United States entered World War II he left the judgeship temporarily to serve in the U.S. Army. Thurmond was with the Civil Affairs section of the First Army headquarters and participated in the Normandy invasion on assignment with the 82nd Airborne Division. After Germany surrendered in May 1945 he briefly served in the Pacific before returning to South Carolina.

In 1946 Thurmond ran successfully for governor of South Carolina; he served from 1947-1951. He married Jean Crouch (1926-1960), daughter of Horace J. and Inez Breazeale Crouch of Elko, South Carolina on November 7, 1947. Thurmond ran unsuccessfully as the U.S. presidential candidate of the States Rights’ Democratic Party in 1948 and against Olin D. Johnston for U.S. Senator in 1950. He was the Chairman of Southern Governor's Conference in 1950.

2 After leaving the governorship Thurmond resumed his law practice. He ran as a write-in candidate for U.S. Senator in 1954, defeating Edgar Brown in the primary. In 1956 he resigned from the Senate in fulfillment of a campaign promise and was re-elected to the Senate that same year. He has been re-elected each election cycle since then, most recently in 1996. As Senator, Thurmond served on a number of important committees, including Armed Services (chairman 1995-1998), Judiciary (chairman 1981-1987) and Veterans Affairs. He was President Pro Tempore from 1981-1987 and 1995- . He switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party in 1964. He married Nancy Janice Moore (1946- ), daughter of Paul Robinson and Julie Moore of Aiken, South Carolina on December 22, 1968; they separated in 1991. They had four children: Nancy Moore (1971-1993), James Strom II (1972- ), Juliana “Julie” Gertrude (1974- ) and Paul Reynolds (1976- ).

1946 Gubernatorial Campaign After returning from his military service in World War II in early 1946, Thurmond resumed his circuit court judgeship. During the spring he discussed running for governor with family, friends and potential backers around the state, trying to determine if there was enough support for a successful campaign. Convinced that he had a good chance of winning the governorship, Thurmond announced his candidacy on May 15, 1946 and resigned his circuit court judgeship.

Faced with a large field of candidates that included former governor Ransome J. Williams, Thurmond stressed his years of public service as a teacher, county superintendent of education, state senator, circuit court judge and soldier. He campaigned on what was considered a progressive platform that called for the secret ballot, the elimination of the poll tax, increased support for education and welfare programs, improved education facilities for blacks, support for returning veterans and cuts in public utility rates. Thurmond also opposed strengthening the state police system and the misuse of the governor’s pardon power.

However, it was his outspoken opposition to the “Barnwell Ring” that brought him recognition and publicity during the campaign. The term referred to the unusual amount of political influence wielded by a small circle of legislators from Barnwell County, the most important of these being Edgar Brown, President Pro Tempore of the State Senate and Solomon Blatt, Speaker of the State House of Representatives. Thurmond charged that they ran the state for their own benefit and controlled appointments to state boards and commissions. Brown and Blatt denied this and charged that Thurmond had come to them looking for support for his gubernatorial campaign. The feud over the supposed existence of the “ring” dominated the news, pushed the other candidates into the background and allowed Thurmond to run as an “outsider” who was fighting for the “common man.”

The results of the August 13, 1946 primary election were: Thurmond, 96,691 votes; Dr. James C. McLeod, 83,464 votes; Ransome J. Williams, 35,813 votes; John C. Taylor, 22,447 votes; Del O’Neal, 16,574 votes; John D. Long, 16,503 votes; Carl B. Epps, 5,189 votes; Marcus A. Stone, 4,353 votes; A. L. Wood, 3,040 votes; A. J. Beattie, 2,889 votes; and Roger W. Scott, 2,251 votes. Since neither of the top two candidates, Thurmond and Dr. McLeod, had received a majority of the votes, a run-off election was held. Thurmond used the time between the two elections to continue to campaign on his record and to promise that he would serve a full four- year term as governor without seeking higher office. Since the two previous governors had done

3 precisely that, Thurmond’s promise garnered him additional support from the voters. He won the September 3, 1946 run-off election with 144,420 votes to McLeod’s 109,169 votes.

Thurmond as Governor Thurmond was inaugurated as the 77th Governor of South Carolina on January 21, 1947. In his inaugural address he summarized a detailed plan of action, which was based on his campaign platform. The plan encompassed twenty-four general areas such as state government reorganization, election and education reform, dual office holding and economic development. By the end of his term, he had accomplished almost all of the goals he had laid out in this speech. He was able to do this in spite of a governmental structure in which the legislature held most of the power and the executive branch was dependent upon their goodwill and the governor’s persuasive power to get any program enacted.

The following items are among the major accomplishments achieved during Thurmond’s term of office: • the pardon and parole power was removed from the governor and given to a state board;

• the state government was reorganized, including the creation of the Budget and Control Board from ten different departments and the implementation of centralized purchasing;

• a number of economic development projects were undertaken, such as highway and road improvements and seaport development, resulting in the state’s credit rating rising to AA;

• the poll tax was eliminated and the secret ballot instituted;

• a uniform nine-month state-supported school term was established, a twelfth grade was added, the state library program was expanded, salaries for teachers were improved and compulsory attendance laws were enacted;

• more women were appointed to state offices than had been in any previous gubernatorial administration;

• initiatives to equalize railroad freight rates and to develop a regional education system were undertaken in cooperation with the Southern Governor’s Conference;

• there were improvements in health services, including the creation of county health centers and a cancer control program;

• area trade schools and new parks were developed for each race;

• the law against dual office holding was enforced, and

• there was increased support for public welfare programs for the needy, elderly, and handicapped and dependent children.

4 These accomplishments echoed some of the changes the state was undergoing at the time. Among the events that occurred during the period 1947-1951 were the construction of the state’s first skyscraper (Columbia, 1948), the first performance of the Greenville Symphony in 1948, the legalization of divorce in 1949, the opening of the Columbia Museum of Art in 1950 and the selection that same year by Atomic Energy Commission and DuPont of a site for the Savannah River plant, which would manufacture plutonium and tritium for nuclear weapons. There were major civil rights advances during the period as well; the ruling on July 12, 1947 by Judge Waites Waring (which was upheld on appeal) on the Elmore v. Rice case ending the all-white Democratic primary, the defeat by the courts of attempts to exclude blacks from the Democratic Party by means of a loyalty oath and the November 11, 1949 filing of a discrimination suit against the Clarendon County school system by the county’s black parents, which eventually became part of the Brown v. Topeka Board of Education case.

Thurmond’s term was not without controversy. In addition to the bruising political battles of the 1948 Presidential and 1950 Senatorial campaigns, there was his September 16, 1947 speech to a meeting of the South Carolina Realtors’ in which he condemned their role in the housing situation and the opposition to some of his appointments to various state boards and commissions. The legality of his appointment of James J. Reid as chairman of the Industrial Commission in 1947 was challenged by the state attorney general; Reid was forced to resign later that same year, although Thurmond reappointed him to the Commission in 1948. His attempt to appoint Faith Clayton to the Industrial Commission in 1949 as part of his efforts to fulfill his campaign promise to appoint more women to state office ran into legislative opposition that delayed her confirmation in the post until 1950. A number of individuals questioned Thurmond’s appointments of honorary “colonels,” claiming they were being used as political rewards. However, the event that first brought him to national attention was his handling of the lynching of Willie Earle.

Willie Earle was a young black man arrested on February 16, 1947 for the murder of Greenville cabdriver Thomas Watson Brown. Earle was taken from the Pickens County jail and lynched by a mob the day after his arrest. Thurmond immediately ordered the state constabulary to make every effort to solve the case and called for an outside state prosecutor to ensure vigorous prosecution of the perpetrators of the crime. He also requested assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Due to his efforts members of mob were arrested and put on trial in May 1947. Although the defendants were acquitted by all-white male jury, it was clear that lynching would no longer be tolerated in the state; the Earle lynching was the last one in South Carolina history. Thurmond was praised by numerous individuals and in the press for his efforts to arrest and try the lynchers. The events of the following year, however, would lead to a rapid erosion of this goodwill.

1948 Presidential Campaign The States’ Rights campaign has been seen as a reaction to the October 1947 report of President’s Committee on Civil Rights, pending court cases that challenged segregation and, most of all, to President Truman’s proposed federal civil rights program that included anti-poll tax legislation, a federal anti-lynching law, the establishment of a permanent Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC) and the elimination of discrimination in interstate transportation

5 facilities. This program was announced on February 2, only five days before the Southern Governor’s Conference was scheduled to meet in Wakulla Springs, Florida.

Although some governors, such as Fielding Wright of Mississippi, advocated forming a new party, others were not prepared to reject their traditional allegiance to the Democratic Party. The governors finally agreed to a proposal made by Thurmond to wait for forty days (reduced from sixty) before taking any action. During this period a committee of governors would study and evaluate the civil rights program and its impact on the South, meet with Democratic Party officials for clarification and to express their reservations and then report back at another meeting of the Conference. Thurmond was named as chair of the committee.

During this “cooling-off” period opposition to Truman’s program grew. On February 12 Mississippi Democrats met to plan a revolt against the national Democratic Party. A headquarters for the states’ rights movement was opened in Jackson, Mississippi on February 16 and another states’ rights strategy meeting was held on February 22, drawing representatives from ten southern states. On February 19 the South Carolina delegation, which included Thurmond and Olin Johnston, refused to attend the annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner in Washington, D.C. where Truman was to be the featured speaker. The next day southern congressmen announced their unified opposition to the proposed civil rights program.

Thurmond and his committee met with Senator J. Howard McGrath, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, on February 23, but were unable to gain any concessions from the national leadership. Thurmond’s committee then wrote its report, criticizing Truman’s civil rights program and recommending that the southern states send delegates to the Democratic Convention and the Electoral College who would refuse to support pro-civil rights candidates. The report also recommended working for the restoration of the “two-thirds” rule, which required that the Democratic presidential nominee receive two-thirds of the convention delegates’ vote rather than a simple majority. The report was accepted by the Southern Governor’s Conference when it met in Washington, D.C. on March 12.

States’ rights supporters asked Thurmond to be the keynote speaker at their May 10 meeting in Jackson. He complied, launching a strong attack against Truman and his civil rights program. Delegates at the meeting ratified a plan to support a states’ rights plank in the Democratic Party platform, to oppose any civil rights language and to meet again on July 17 in Birmingham, Alabama if the states’ rights delegates were not admitted to the Democratic Convention or they were unsuccessful in achieving their goals.

At the July Democratic Party Convention in Philadelphia, both Mississippi and South Carolina faced (ultimately unsuccessful) moves to unseat their state delegations. Southern delegates were initially unable to agree on a opposition candidate to Truman, although they did agree to fight the inclusion of a strong civil rights plank in the party platform; however, their attempts to amend the civil rights plank were unsuccessful. As a result, all of the Mississippi delegation and half of the Alabama delegation “bolted” the convention. Attempts to insert a states’ rights plank or restore the “two-thirds” rule failed. Governor Ben Laney of Arkansas finally agreed to be the southerners’ candidate to oppose Truman, but backed out at the last minute. Instead, Senator Richard Russell of Georgia was nominated by the southern delegates; Thurmond seconded his

6 nomination. Truman won the nomination on the first ballot, 947 1/2 votes to 263 (mainly southern votes) for Russell.

Delegates that had “bolted” the Democratic Convention, as well as states’ rights supporters representing other states, met in Birmingham, Alabama on July 17. They adopted a “statement of principles” that became the platform of the States’ Right Democratic Party. The party’s platform supported states’ rights under Article X of the Bill of Rights. It opposed the federal civil rights program and the centralization of power in the federal government and warned of danger of catering to minority blocs. The party’s goal was to restore the South to its “rightful place” in the political life of nation.

Thurmond had not planned to attend the meeting, but changed his mind. Once there, he was approached by delegates from Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi and offered the presidential nomination; he was given one hour to decide. Thurmond accepted the offer and Fielding Wright agreed to be the nominee for Vice President. They were then presented to the “convention” as candidates, with Senator James Eastland of Mississippi seconding the nominations. Both men made their acceptance speeches at a more formal nominating convention held in Houston, Texas on August 11.

After the nomination Thurmond campaigned vigorously in the South, denouncing Truman’s civil rights program (especially the FEPC) at every opportunity and extolling the virtues of states’ rights versus the increasing encroachments of federal power. Since it was unlikely that the party would be able to defeat Truman directly, the strategy was to siphon off enough votes from Truman to throw the election into the U.S. House of Representatives, where the South could control the outcome of the election, bartering its support for concessions on civil rights. There was little attempt to campaign in the North, based partly on the Southern focus of the party, partly on the lack of time before the election and partly on the lack of a well-funded and sophisticated campaign organization. Meanwhile, the States’ Rights Democrats, believing that they were the “true” Democratic Party, attempted to get on the ballot by working through existing state Democratic Party organizations and gaining their endorsement. Although successful in becoming the “official” Democratic Party slate in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, the party failed to do so in the rest of the South, most notably in the important states of Georgia, North Carolina and Texas. In the former four states the party ran as the States’ Rights Democratic Party; it ran as the State’s Rights Party elsewhere (The term “Dixiecrats” was coined by the media and was not used by States’ Rights supporters).

When the election results were announced Thurmond had received 1,176,125 votes, 2.4% of the total votes cast. He had carried the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina for a total of thirty-nine electoral votes (the extra vote was from a Tennessee elector). However, the State’s Rights Democratic Party had run a distant third behind the Democratic and Republican parties and had failed to throw the election into the House. Media hostility to the States’ Rights Democratic Party during the campaign and the reluctance of many political leaders and their followers to discard their traditional allegiance to the Democratic Party in large part explained why Thurmond did not do better in the polls.

7 There is much debate about the long term effects of the States’ Rights campaign. Some have argued that the campaign was a failure because of Truman’s victory and the eventual enactment of civil rights legislation. Regional concerns had failed to gain support, even within the region itself, and the Democratic Party had survived the defection of the South, thus pointing to a decline in the influence of white politicians from “black-belt” states and the growing importance of the black vote, especially in the North. Others have pointed out that the States’ Rights Democrats succeeded in drawing political attention back to the South and ensured that the region would play an important role in Presidential politics from that point forward. They also note that the relative success of the campaign may have helped to delay civil rights legislation, leaving it to the Supreme Court (and not Congress) to make the important breakthroughs regarding civil rights.

Many scholars feel that the campaign solidified the movement of the Democratic Party to the left, at least on domestic issues, and sharpened factional lines within the party. The 1948 campaign is also thought to have helped create the two-party system in South, although some believe that it may have delayed that process by giving southerners an alternative to voting Republican. Ironically, in the opinion of some researchers, the loosening of ties to the Democratic Party may have helped African-Americans gain more political power by weakening the party machinery in the South that oppressed them. Finally, the lessons of the States’ Rights campaign may have influenced George Wallace’s strategy in the 1968 Presidential campaign.

As for Thurmond, the effects of the 1948 campaign would be felt in 1950, as he attempted to take the next step in his political career—becoming a U.S. Senator.

1950 Senatorial Campaign On April 29, 1950, Thurmond announced his candidacy for the Senate seat held by Olin D. Johnston, ending months of speculation and preparation. In his campaign Thurmond favored a strong national defense, a bi-partisan foreign policy, the Marshall Plan, a strong United Nations (but not to the extent it would become a “world government”), anti-communist efforts at home and abroad, economy in government spending, the repeal of excise taxes, states’ rights, the continuation of federal farm program on the principles of the 1938 Agricultural Adjustment Act, rural electrification, crop insurance, the rights of labor under the laws current in 1950, railroad freight rate equality, legislative control over non-judicial conduct of federal judges and segregation. He opposed the federalization of National Guard, the desegregation of armed forces, peace-time deficit spending, federal farm subsidies, federal aid to education, the socialization of business and medicine, compulsory national health insurance and federal civil rights legislation.

The main thrust of Thurmond’s campaign, however, was to criticize Johnston’s pardon record while governor (1935-1940, 1943-47) and his support for Truman, a course of action strongly supported by two of his closest advisors, Walter Brown and Robert McC. Figg. Thurmond accused Johnston of running a pardon-for-pay “racket” and of “disloyalty” to the Democratic Party. He also attacked the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and charged that Johnston did not do enough to halt desegregation of armed forces.

8 Johnston countered by raising the McFall appointment and his July 1948 invitation to another African-American, Governor William H. Hastie of the Virgin Islands, to stay at Governor’s Mansion. In the former case, the South Carolina Medical Association “absolved” Thurmond by noting that, by law, the governor must appoint the individual the Association recommends for the Board. As for the latter, Thurmond explained that the invitation had been tendered as a matter of routine to all gubernatorial participants at a conference and that no one had realized that Governor Hastie was black before the invitation was sent. By then end of the campaign both candidates were trying to position themselves as defenders of segregation and their opponent as “soft” on the federal civil rights program.

When the returns of the July 11, 1950 primary came in, Thurmond had lost the election, 158,904 votes to Olin Johnston’s 186,180 votes. Factors cited by Thurmond biographers for his defeat include the black vote, most of which is thought to have gone to Johnston; the onset of the Korean War, which made voters reluctant to change elected officials “in mid-stream;” Thurmond’s campaign tactics, which focused so much on attacking Johnston that they did not sufficiently tout his own accomplishments and qualifications for Senator and hurt him with both black and white voters; Johnston’s commitment to the Democratic Party in contrast to Thurmond’s “bolt” in 1948 and his harsh critiques of Truman thereafter; support for Johnston from the national Democratic Party; support for Johnson by labor, most clearly manifested by the active hostility of textile workers faced by Thurmond during his campaign stops in upstate South Carolina.; and the lack of any important issue that would rouse the electorate enough to unseat the incumbent.

Scope and Content The Gubernatorial Papers consists of affidavits, appointment books, articles, biographical sketches, budgets, clippings, correspondence, daily schedule books, drafts of letters and speeches, election returns, financial records, invitations, lists, memos, minutes, notes, petitions, photographs, political advertisements, postcards, press releases, proclamations, promotional materials, reports, resolutions, routing slips, scrapbooks, speeches, statements, copies of completed surveys, telegrams, teletypes and warrants. The Papers date from 1923 to 1955, although the bulk of the material is from the period 1946 to 1951, encompassing Thurmond’s gubernatorial campaign and governorship.

The Papers are arranged in six subseries: Official, Personal, Campaigns, Scrapbooks, Speeches and Additional Material. The subseries are generally arranged alphabetically by folder title and then chronologically except for the Scrapbooks subseries, which is in chronological order. The Official, Personal and Campaigns subseries make up the Gubernatorial series in the Thurmond Collection, while the Scrapbooks and Speeches subseries are actually separate series within the Collection and the Additional Material subseries is a subseries of the Speeches series. These disparate elements of the Collection have been brought together to create this microfilm publication.

The Official subseries consists mainly of correspondence from officials of state boards, bureaus, colleges, commissions, departments and divisions, as well as correspondence from federal and local officials and from constituents. This series also includes reports from state agencies, Thurmond’s proclamations while Governor, correspondence regarding appointments at the state

9 and county levels, material relating to extraditions to and from the state of South Carolina and correspondence concerning the award of honorary “colonel” commissions. The Personal subseries is a mixture of true personal and uncategorized official correspondence, mainly to Thurmond, but there are also letters to his administrative assistant, William Lowndes Daniel, Jr., and to his wife, Jean Crouch Thurmond.

The Campaigns subseries documents the political campaigns Strom Thurmond was involved in during the gubernatorial period—the 1946 gubernatorial campaign; the 1948 States’ Rights campaign for President of the United States against Harry S. Truman and Thomas E. Dewey; and the 1950 senatorial campaign against incumbent Olin D. Johnston. This series has the largest amount of extant material on the States’ Rights Democratic Party, especially the South Carolina branch. The Scrapbook subseries provides basic biographical and historical information about Thurmond and the events he was involved in during this period, while the Speeches subseries contains both originals and copies of his public addresses on a variety of topics. The Additional Material subseries is made up of additional copies of gubernatorial-era speeches discovered in 1998.

In addition to highlighting one important portion of Strom Thurmond’s long and distinguished public career, topics of interest in the Papers include agriculture; the state budget; civil rights; conservation; economic development; education, including regional education, trade schools and state universities such as Clemson University, the University of South Carolina and Winthrop University; election reform; railroad freight rate equalization; state government reorganization; the activities of the Governors’ Conference and the Southern Governor’s Conference (Thurmond was chairman of the latter group in 1950); health; highways; labor; law enforcement; the lynching of Willie Earle and Thurmond’s efforts to have the perpetrators brought to justice; national and state politics; prisons; probation, pardon and parole; race relations; river and harbor improvements; rural electrification; taxes; temperance; the textile industry; the Thurmond family, especially Jean Crouch Thurmond; welfare; and women in government, including reaction to the appointment of Faith Clayton to the South Carolina Industrial Commission in 1949.

The Microfilming Project The genesis for this project was a 1983 proposal by the then Thurmond archivist, Margery Sly, that the gubernatorial era papers at Clemson, The University of South Carolina’s (USC) South Caroliniana Library and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH) be brought together and filmed. Once filmed, the material would then be returned to each repository along with a microfilm copy of the combined holdings. Although the project was approved and funding allocated, outside circumstances prevented the project from moving forward.

In 1990 the project was revived by the new Thurmond Archivist, James Cross. Meetings with SCDAH in April and USC in August 1990 resulted in both institutions offering to transfer their holdings permanently to Clemson in return for microfilm of the combined holdings of all three repositories. After the proper clearances from the administrations of the three institutions were received, transfer of the material occurred in November-December 1990. Processing, interfiling and preparation for filming started soon thereafter.

Processing of the material for filming required the unbinding of items from USC and, where possible, the separation of multiple items glued to the same page. Fasteners were removed, material on acidic paper (e.g., newsprint) was photocopied on to acid-free paper and small items were photocopied to make filming easier for the camera operators by limiting the sizes of documents they would need to film. “Miscellaneous” files in the Official and Campaign subseries were broken down and grouped into appropriate topic files when possible. Weeding of material was accomplished during the interfiling process; this included duplicates and all but the Governor’s Mansion Visitors registers of the material not to be filmed (see below for details). Appropriate filming instructions were added to the material during interfiling and processing.

The material was filmed using a planetary camera on 35mm film at a reduction ratio of 19:1, with a density 1.0 (range .9 -1.2). It was filmed to meet all SCDAH, ANSI and IMA standards for archival quality film. Quality testing was done by the Archives. Filming began in August 1994 and was completed (including all retakes) in August 1998.

After filming, a frame-by-frame check was performed by the staff of Special Collections on a second generation negative ( not the camera negative) to ensure completeness and legibility. Additions and retakes were spliced in place on the second generation negative, and at the beginning of the camera negative. Those on the camera negative were filmed with an additional set of bibliographic targets preceding them. Retakes included a certificate of correction.

Rolls are numbered consecutively within each subseries. A frame counter was exposed above the image. The format for each roll is as follows:

“Microfilmed by” note Title Subseries title, roll number and reduction ratio White sheet and resolution charts Defects note to user Other notes (as appropriate) Subseries description and folder-title list (first roll of subseries only) Subseries folder title etc. Subseries title, roll number and reduction ratio “Subseries continued” or “End of subseries note” (as appropriate) Certificate of authenticity End of roll note White sheet and resolution charts.

Different subseries were not filmed on the same roll. Roll breaks, especially between records anticipated to have different research use and subseries, were done wherever possible; however, rolls were not broken in the middle of folder.

Folders were filmed in cine mode (rather than create targets for each folder), the contents in comic mode; the Speeches Series, General File subseries printout was also filmed in cine mode (a folder-title list was created for the Speeches Series, Originals subseries). Oversize material was filmed in place; the reduction ratio was changed accordingly to accomplish this. Photographs were removed before filming and a removal sheet with a photocopy of the photograph was filmed in its place.

The following material was not filmed:

• Announcements of law firm openings, weddings and high school graduations in Personal subseries “In” (unless there was an indication that Governor Thurmond attended the event or had a close relationship with the individual(s) involved) • Blank pages • Card Index of Persons, 1949-1950 • Categories such as “Misc. – Christmas Cards” and “Congratulations” • Declined invitations • Expenditures, 1947-1950 • Governor’s Mansion Visitors registers, 1947-1950, 2 volumes (the guestbook for the period 1947-1951 was filmed) • Grocery bills, 1947-1951 • “In” files of appointments • Interstate Commerce Commission notices

12 • Newspaper clippings, 1947-1951 (already in Scrapbooks subseries) • Notary public commissions • “Out” files of acknowledgements • Requests, 1947-1949 (e.g., for autographs, state tourist information, etc.) • Sympathy letters • Treasury receipts, “Depository of State Fund Statements,” 1947-1950.

In addition, only a sample of requests for appointment to be a notary public contained in the Personal subseries was retained and filmed. The camera operator used correction targets when necessary. Bibliographic and copyright targets were filmed according to SCDAH standards.

An introductory roll, containing provenance, appropriate historical information about the microfilming project itself, biographical information about the Senator, historical information about the period and the finding aids and folder title listings, was filmed upon completion of the project and serves as a guide to the publication. Frame numbers were not used for this roll since the finding aid is paginated.

Series and/or subseries descriptions and folder title listings were filmed at the beginning of each series/subseries. The description includes title, dates, and amounts of material; a paragraph describing arrangement and type of material contained; and a paragraph discussing scope and content, including major correspondents (when appropriate) and topics.

Note to the User While every attempt has been made to create a clear and legible microfilm copy of the gubernatorial material, problems inherent in the earlier processing of the material, its filming and in the items themselves will result in images that are difficult to read. The original documents may be of poor quality (e.g., carbon copies, documents written in pencil or those with light colored text or dark and lacking in contrast), they may be damaged or torn, pages may be missing or misnumbered and enclosures non-existent. Since some of the material was originally bound, document edges may have been trimmed to fit the item into the cover, resulting in loss of information. Multiple items were sometimes affixed to a single sheet, which could lead to information being obscured by inserts. Photocopying during earlier processing sometimes resulted in an off-center or incomplete photocopy. There may be typographical or other small errors in the folder titles themselves. Occasionally a document was accidentally filmed twice; such double exposures were not excised during the retakes. Finally, there were malfunctions of the frame counters on the last roll of the Speeches series and on the Additional Materials roll; a target at the beginning of each of these rolls identifies the misnumberings.

Acknowledgements At SCDAH, former Director George Vogt and State Archivist and Records Manager Roy H. Tryon played an important role in this project by agreeing to transfer their Thurmond gubernatorial holdings to Clemson University. Former President Arthur K. Smith, Jr., former Director of Libraries Arthur P. Young and Director of Special Collections Allen H. Stokes, Jr. played a similar role in the agreement to transfer their holdings at USC’s South Caroliniana Library to Clemson.

At Clemson, former President A. Max Lennon, Dean of Libraries Joseph F. Boykin, Jr. and Head of Special Collections Michael F. Kohl provided encouragement, support and staffing to the project; former Thurmond Archivist Margery N. Sly was instrumental in laying the groundwork for this project with her earlier planning for a similar effort. Special Collections staff member Laurie Varenhorst assisted with the processing, film check and creation of the descriptions and folder-title lists while Professor Roger Leemhuis of the History Department and student assistants Jeff Bogtong, Maggie Frampton, Jeffrey McQuillan, Mollie Nichols, Laurie Poston, April Ratliffe and Jimmy Rayford helped with the processing and microfilm check; this project could not have been completed without the many hours they contributed.

Ron Williford, Micrographics Supervisor for the Records Management Unit and his student camera operators did yeoman work in filming the material. James H. Barkley and his staff in SCDAH’s Micrographics unit provided the needed processing, quality control and splicing services that a project such as this one requires.

And last, but not least, Senator Strom Thurmond, whose interest in having this material brought together and his advocacy on behalf of the project helped make it a reality. Without his interest in history and his foresightedness in donating material to ensure its preservation, a vital part of the state’s and the nation’s history would have been lost.

Official (Subseries A, 1941–1951; 44.775 cu. ft./42 microfilm rolls)

The Official subseries is divided into five sub-subseries, “In”, “Out” (incoming and outgoing correspondence), Appointments, Extraditions and Colonel Commissions. It is likely that the “In” and “Out” sub-subseries were created by the staff of the South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina during processing.

“In” (1941–1951) includes appointment books, budgets, clippings, correspondence, daily schedule books, invitations, memos, minutes, petitions, photographs, postcards, reports, copies of speeches and statements and telegrams, arranged alphabetically by folder title (usually subject or name). The majority of the correspondence is from officials of state boards, bureaus, colleges, commissions, departments and divisions such as J. Roy Jones (Commissioner of Agriculture), Joel D. Townsend (Chief, Law Enforcement Division) and A. A. Richardson (Chief Game Warden). These files often include reports from state agencies. There is also correspondence from federal and local officials (e.g., U.S. Representatives and Senators, Corps of Engineers, state representatives and senators, county sheriffs) and from constituents.

Declined invitations were removed before filming, as were treasury receipts, notary public commissions, sympathy letters, routine requests for information and routine expenditure files (e.g., grocery bills, Mansion expenses). Only the “In” files of Acknowledgements and the “Out” files of Appointments were filmed. Many enclosures are missing clippings and articles are probably part of the Scrapbooks, while other material was sent to the “Research Department”. Related material can be found in the Personal and Campaigns subseries and in Speeches as well.

Topics contained in this sub-subseries include agriculture; state budget; conservation; development of electric power resources (Clark’s Hill, Lyles Ford and Santee–Cooper); dual office–holding; economic development, mainly reflected in the files concerning the Research, Planning and Development Board; education, including hearings as a result of a cheating scandal involving the National Teacher Examination; election reform; federal aid to education; gambling; state government reorganization; health; highways; labor; law enforcement; legislation; national and state politics; prisons; probation, pardon and parole; race relations; river and harbor improvements; Sullivan’s Island (Fort Moultrie) and other surplus federal government property; taxes; temperance; the textile industry; and welfare.

Of particular interest are reactions to Thurmond’s attempt to arrest, try and convict the perpetrators of the lynching of Willie Earle in 1947 (related material can be found in Mss 156, the Alan Schaffer Collection of F.B.I. files relating to the lynching of Willie Earle, 1947–1988); his efforts to have Bruce Littlejohn appointed to the speakership in the state house of representatives in 1947; his criticism of real estate boards for high rents and housing costs in a speech at Myrtle Beach in 1947; his appointment of Faith Clayton to the Industrial Commission in 1949; and his efforts to have transfer credits from Bob Jones University accepted at state colleges and universities throughout his term. There are also files concerning Governor Strom Thurmond’s involvement in various conferences, most notably the Governors’ Conference and the Southern Governor’s Conference; the latter held its meeting in Charleston in 1950, and the material in this sub–subseries includes the arrangements made for this meeting.

While a member of the Southern Governor’s Conference, Thurmond served as the chairman of the Conference’s Freight Rate Committee after serving as a member from 1947–1948; he retained an interest in the Committee’s work after the end of his term as chairman. The material in the freight rate files reflects legal efforts by the Conference to equalize freight between the North and South and ensure fair uniform classification of rates. Included are discussions of Conference strategies, financial contributions to the legal effort by each state, minutes of the meetings of the Committee, proposed legislation, the progress of classification and questions about legal representation.

Thurmond was also involved in an attempt by fifteen southern states to form a regional education compact for higher education (especially medical, dental and veterinary). The files include material pertaining to financing the compact; the relationship with Meharry College in Nashville, Tennessee for medical education; minutes and reports of planning groups, the Board of Control, the Executive Committee and the Council and Interim Council of Regional Education; both draft and final copies of compacts, agreements and enabling legislation; and criticisms that regional education was an attempt to circumvent Supreme Court rulings mandating equal education opportunities for African–Americans in each state.

Correspondents in this sub-subseries include Frank Bane, Christie Benet, Edgar Brown, Walter Brown, Gordon Browning, Joseph R. Bryson, J. Fred Buzhardt, Millard F. Caldwell, John K. Cauthen, R. M. Cooper, Horace Crouch, John Bolt Culbertson, Charles E. Daniel, D. W. Daniel, William Jennings Bryan Dorn, J. Drake Edens, Robert McC. Figg Jr., Alester Furman, John Temple Graves, James H. Hammond, James B. Hare, E. L. Hart, W. G. (“Grady”) Hazel, James M. Hinton, J. Edgar Hoover, Beverly Howard, John E. Ivey Jr., Beauford Jester, Olin Johnston, Bob Jones, Bob Jones Jr., Dr. Waldo H. Jones, Bruce Littlejohn, J. C. Littlejohn, Burnet R. Maybank, Walter R. McDonald, Sid McMath, John L. McMillan, Roger Milliken, L. S. Moody, J. Van Dyke Norman, Drew Pearson, Robert F. Poole, Paul Quattlebaum Jr., J. P. Richards, John J. Riley, L. Mendel Rivers, Ruth Roettinger, Richard B. Russell, Jr., Aaron Schwartz, James C. Self, Henry R. Sims, Hugo S. Sims, Norman M. Smith, Herman Talmadge, M. E. Thompson, John William Thurmond, George Bell Timmerman Jr., Harry Truman, William M. Tuck, Cornelia Dabney Tucker, Grady L. Wade, Sam T. Watkins and Fielding Wright.

“Out” (1946–1951) consists mainly of replies to correspondence in Official “In” prepared by the Governor and his staff. Also included are drafts of letters and statements, memos, notes, routing slips, statements, copies of completed surveys (mainly in the Adjutant General file) and telegrams, all arranged alphabetically by folder title. The material in each folder is usually arranged in reverse chronological order, but will occasionally be arranged alphabetically.

Some incoming correspondence may be filed with the outgoing material. Copies of Thurmond’s proclamations appear in this sub-subseries, as do biographies prepared by his office and related material.

Staff members who frequently appear in this sub-subseries include Warren H. Abernathy (Administrative Assistant, 1950–1951), J. Ernest Craig (Executive Secretary 1949–1950), William Lowndes Daniel Jr. (Executive Secretary, 1947-1948), David H. Kennedy (Research Assistant 1947–1948 and Acting Executive Secretary, 1948–1949), George MacNabb (Research

16 Mss 100, Strom Thurmond Collection Gubernatorial Series Descriptions and Container Lists

Secretary 1948–1951), William F. Prioleau Jr. (Legislative Secretary, 1950–1951), John T. Sloan Jr. (Administrative Assistant, 1947), Folsom R. Smith (Administrative Assistant, 1948–1949) and Mary B. Williams (Recording Secretary).

The Appointments sub-subseries (1946–1951) contains correspondence concerning with job appointments at the state and county levels. These records are divided into county appointments and state appointments. The county appointments are arranged alphabetically by county; the state appointments are arranged alphabetically by job titles. Both are arranged chronologically within each folder.

Some of the county appointments include magistrates, game wardens and memberships on boards of education, election (federal), registration and taxes. State appointments include governor’s officers, state constables, state game wardens and appointment to state boards, commissions and committees such as the Board of Bank Control, the Committee on Constitutional Revision, the Board of Medical Examiners and the Tax Commission. Correspondence concerning appointments may also be found in the Official “In” and “Out” sub- subseries, the Personal subseries and Speeches.

The Extraditions sub-subseries (1946–1951) consists of correspondence, warrants, and other materials regarding extraditions to and from the state of South Carolina. Generally, the material is arranged alphabetically by the last name of the individual to be extradited and then chronologically within each folder. However, the last two folders deal with extradition inquiries and pending extradition cases, and are arranged chronologically within each folder.

The Colonel Commissions sub-subseries (1947–1951) contains correspondence awarding individuals the honorary commission of colonel; these commissions were sometimes used as a reward for political loyalty, and the “colonels” played a significant role in Thurmond’s campaigns. Generally, the correspondence is arranged alphabetically but within each alphabetical letter the correspondence is assigned a number as it was created by Thurmond’s staff or first received in the governor’s office. Then, within each individual’s name, the correspondence is arranged chronologically. This results in some individuals having more than one folder assigned to them. The last few folders contain the photocopied card index of colonels arranged alphabetically by the individuals’ last name. Individuals who received colonel commissions include J. Fred Buzhardt, Walter Brown, James F. Byrnes, W. G. and Martha Bishop, Charles E. Daniel, Fred Pearman and Paul Quattlebaum Jr.

Personal (Subseries B, 1946–1951; 13.5 cu. ft. /13 microfilm rolls)

Personal is divided into two sub-subseries, “In” and “Out”; again, it is likely that this arrangement was created at the University of South Carolina. The “In” sub-subseries (1946– 1951) is a mixture of true personal and uncategorized official correspondence, mainly to Thurmond, but there are also letters to William Lowndes Daniel, Jr. and Jean Crouch Thurmond. Material contained in this subseries includes articles, clippings, correspondence, memos, petitions, photographs, postcards, promotional materials, reports, copies of speeches and statements and telegrams. Because some “official” correspondence is included in this subseries, the researcher should also check the Official subseries for related material. Related material may also be found in the Campaigns subseries and Speeches as well.

The material is arranged alphabetically by name or subject. The name may be that of the individual writing the letter, the organization to which he/she belongs or that of an individual referred to in the letter; related letters to different individuals may be filed under one name.

Announcements of law firm openings, weddings and high school graduations were removed from “In” before filming, unless there was an indication that Governor Thurmond attended the event or had a close relationship with the individual(s) involved. Declined invitations were also removed. A sample of letters requesting appointment as a notary public was retained; other routine requests (e.g., for South Carolina tourist information) were removed. Many enclosures are missing–clippings and articles are probably part of the Scrapbooks, while other material was sent to the “Research Department.”

Some of the topics in this sub-subseries include agriculture, African-Americans and voting, airports, Clemson University, displaced persons (refugees), education, election reform, gambling, legislation, liquor and temperance, oil, race relations, railroad freight transportation rates, rural electrification, state and national politics, the 1948 States’ Rights campaign and Thurmond’s World War II service. A 1948 letter from the Woman’s International Exposition has attachments that list Governor Thurmond’s female appointees.

Also included in this sub-subseries are two files of memos (1947–1948) to Governor Thurmond from William Lowndes Daniel, Jr., files on his inauguration and another on his 1947 wedding to Jean Crouch which contains congratulatory correspondence, cards, telegrams, a list of wedding guests and “prominent congratulators.”

Correspondents in this sub-subseries include William P. Baskin, Mary Thurmond Bishop, Edgar Brown, Walter Brown, James F. Byrnes, Cedric Foster, Billy Graham, W. G. (“Grady”) Hazel, P. B. Holtzendorff, Jr., J. Edgar Hoover, Beverly Howard, Robert M. Kennedy, Jr., C. P. Key, William A. Kimbel, Calhoun Lemon, Bruce Littlejohn, J. C. Littlejohn, Thomas R. Miller, E. W.

“Out” (1946–1951) is similar to Official “Out” in that it consists mainly of replies to correspondence in Personal “In” prepared by the Governor and his staff, has many of the same staff members frequently appearing (except for Mary B. Williams), may contain some incoming correspondence filed with the related outgoing material and includes drafts and telegrams. Material is filed the same way as Personal “In”. Some outgoing letters from Jean Crouch Thurmond appear here.

Campaigns (Subseries C, 1924–1954; 17.1 cu. ft. /22 microfilm rolls)

Campaigns documents the political campaigns Strom Thurmond was involved in during the gubernatorial period. Each of the three sub-subseries contains files relating to a particular campaign: the 1946 gubernatorial campaign, where Thurmond survived a primary election with ten other candidates and then won the run-off election against Dr. James C. McLeod; the 1948 States’ Rights campaign for President of the United States against Harry S. Truman and Thomas E. Dewey; and the 1950 senatorial campaign against incumbent Olin D. Johnston. Related material can be found in Official, Personal and Speeches.

The 1946 Governor’s Race sub-subseries (1924–1949) consists of correspondence (most enclosures are missing); election returns; expense summaries; form letters to various groups; lists arranged by county and for particular groups; notes on the activities of the “Barnwell Ring”; political advertisements and brochures with examples dating back to 1924 (these include material from James F. Byrnes, Herbert Hoover, Olin D. Johnston, A. Frank Lever, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Benjamin Ryan Tillman); postcards; receipts; speech drafts; and telegrams. They are arranged alphabetically by folder-title, usually a subject or document type.

The Correspondence files are arranged chronologically within each folder, with incoming letters filed first; although there are some out-of-state letters, most are from South Carolina. While most are either to or from Thurmond, there are also letters to and from James J. Reid (Thurmond’s campaign manager) and T. K. (Thomas K.) Strom. In addition to congratulatory and thank-you letters, there are letters from Thurmond asking for support; invitations, including those for speaking engagements; reports on political conditions in various towns and counties and on Dr. McLeod’s campaign; requests for appointments, information and jobs; and suggestions on contacts and the content of speeches. Some of the correspondence touches on Thurmond’s service in World War II.

Correspondents in the Governor’s Race sub-subseries include Joe F. Anderson, G. H. Aull, R. E. (Earle) Atkinson, J. Perrin Anderson, Benjamin A. Bolt, John Commins, John Bolt Culbertson, W. W. Dukes, F. M. Easterlin, Annie Mae Fields, Wil Lou Gray, W. G. (“Grady”) Hazel, F. Mildred Huggins, J. Carl Kearse, John D. Lane, Cliff Langford, Samuel A. Libater, James J. (“Jimmie”) Lever, John R.

Smoaks, John M. Spratt, Herman Talmadge, E. W. Taylor, Allen George Thurmond, John William Thurmond, Grady L. Wade, B. O. Williams, Rosamonde Wimberly, Caldwell Withers and J. H. (“Jake”) Woodward.

The 1948 States’ Rights Campaign sub-subseries (1944–1954) contains articles; clippings; correspondence (most enclosures are missing); form letters; invitation; legal documents; pamphlets; petitions; postcards; press releases; resolutions and drafts; speeches and drafts; statements; telegrams; and teletypes. Most of the material in this subsection concerns the South Carolina States’ Rights Democratic Party, although there are some items relating to the national States ’ Rights Party headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi. This sub-subseries is further subdivided into six subsections: Civil Rights, Subject File, States’ Rights Papers, County Correspondence, Out-of-State Correspondence and States’ Rights Correspondence.

101 MSS 100, Strom Thurmond Collection Gubernatorial Series Descriptions and Container Lists

The bulk of the Civil Rights material (1947–1949) is from the period encompassing the Southern Governor’s Conference in February 1948 at Wakulla Springs, Florida to the Democratic National Convention in July 1948 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is arranged alphabetically by folder title (correspondence alphabetically by name) and chronologically within each folder. Most of these files relate to the southern governors’ stand against President Harry S. Truman’s civil rights program, his nomination at the Convention and the South Carolina Democratic Party’s reaction to these events.

Subjects include African–American voting; anti-communism; anti-lynching legislation; anti- Semitism; civil rights; colonization of African–Americans; attempts to “draft” Harry Byrd, Dwight Eisenhower and Thurmond as the Democratic Party presidential nominee instead of Truman; electoral college reform; the Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC); poll taxes; suggestions for southern strategy at the Convention, including bloc voting; states’ rights; and third parties. Also included in this subsection are numerous replies from southern congressmen, governors, senators, South Carolina Democratic Party officers and state Democratic Party chairmen to form letters concerning the actions of the Southern Governor’s Conference and Thurmond’s opposition to Truman’s policies.

The Subject File (1944–1952) is arranged alphabetically by folder title and chronologically within each folder. There is material concerning finances (including balance sheets, lists of contributions and expenditures), getting Thurmond on the ballot in various states, presidential electors, publicity, the South Carolina Demo-cratic Party (which contains Thurmond’s resignation as a national committeeman), the South Carolina States’ Rights Democratic Party headquarters, Truman’s “snub” of Thurmond at the 1949 presidential inauguration and the establishment of a women’s division. Also in this subsection is a file of correspondence and one of teletypes between the South Carolina and national headquarters which includes letters to and from Thurmond, L. Mell Glenn (State Director of the South Carolina campaign), David H. Kennedy (Research Assistant 1947–1948 and Acting Executive Secretary, 1948–1949), George MacNabb (Research Secretary 1948–1951), Merritt H. Gibson (National Campaign Director), Glenn Saunders (Assistant National Campaign Director), George C. Wallace (National Treasurer of the States’ Rights Party) and W. W. Wright (National Treasurer).

Four bound volumes of addresses, “questions and answers”, speeches and statements comprise the States’ Rights Papers (February 7–November 3, 1948). Most of the material in this subsection appears in the Speeches subseries. A list of the contents of these volumes is appended to this description; this list also indicates whether there is a copy in the Speeches. Also appended is a list of states’ rights speeches that appear only in the General File of Speeches.

The County Correspondence (1948–1950) is arranged alphabetically by county name and chronologically within each folder. It contains correspondence to and from Thurmond, L. Mell Glenn, David H. Kennedy and George MacNabb. In addition to congratulatory, thank-you and request letters, this subsection includes correspondence concerning anti-semitism; civil rights; contributions and fund-raising; future of the states’ rights movement; local and national political situations affecting the 1948 election, including the identification of potential opponents and supporters; the 1950 senatorial campaign; the 1948 Democratic National Convention; post-1948

102 MSS 100, Strom Thurmond Collection Gubernatorial Series Descriptions and Container Lists politics and need for the South Carolina Democratic Party to “stay the course”; suggestions on conduct of campaign and tactics; Harry S Truman, including his “snub” of Thurmond at the 1949 presidential inauguration; voting rights; and Judge J. Waites Waring. There is correspondence with most of the county campaign chairmen and finance directors.

The Out-of-State Correspondence (1948–1951) is arranged alphabetically by state name and chronologically within each folder, preceded by an index to the U.S. correspondence (c. 1949) and with correspondence from other countries filed at the end. There is some correspondence with national party headquarters and the National States’ Rights Committee in the Mississippi files. There is also correspondence with states’ rights organizations in various states, especially Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and Texas. Subjects covered in this subsection are similar to those in County Correspondence. In addition, there is correspondence concerning the FEPC and the Ku Klux Klan; requests to have Thurmond release his electors to Truman or attempts to compel electors to do so; anti–communism; colonization of African–Americans; electoral college reform; the 1952 presidential election; the formation of a new third party; and reactions to campaign appearances.

The States’ Rights Correspondence (1951–1954) covers the period after Thurmond’s term as governor but before his election to the Senate and is arranged chronologically. This material includes reports on the states’ rights movement in other states, especially Alabama and Louisiana; possible courses of action for the South in the 1952 Presidential election; a court case in Alabama that would allow the election of presidential electors in the primaries; the possible 1952 presidential candidacy of James F. Byrnes as either a Democratic or States’ Rights party nominee, the effect of Richard B. Russell, Jr.’s decision to run on Byrnes’ candidacy and the understanding that Russell would “bolt” if Truman were nominated; complaints about federal actions, especially in the area of civil rights; states’ rights; attempts to persuade Thurmond to endorse or work for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidential campaign; and a few letters reacting to the Brown vs. Board of Education decision.

Tuck, George Warren and Horace C. Wilkerson.

The 1950 Senatorial Campaign sub-subseries (1936–1950) is arranged alphabetically by folder title. It consists of affidavits, clippings; county and out-of state correspondence, mainly to and from Thurmond and J. Ernest Craig, Thurmond’s campaign manager (most enclosures are missing); financial records, including a check stub book, contracts, a ledger and reports; form letters (including examples from other campaigns); lists; memos; notes; political advertisements; postcards; resolutions; speeches, speech material and drafts; statements; and telegrams. Some of

103 MSS 100, Strom Thurmond Collection Gubernatorial Series Descriptions and Container Lists the files and letters in this sub-subseries appear to have originally been in the Official subseries but were put here because of political ramifications.

In addition to providing information about the campaign itself, subjects covered by this sub- subseries include the African–American vote, federal aid to education, the labor vote, the Taft– Hartley Act, national politics and states’ rights. There are a number of files relating to Thurmond’s opponent, Olin Johnston, including clippings files that date back to 1935 and a group of files relating to accusations that Johnston was involved in a “pardons for pay” scheme. Also part of this sub-subseries are clippings files on various public figures, such as James F. Byrnes, Burnett R. Maybank and Hugo Sims, Jr.

Speeches (Subseries D, 1946–1951; 3.6 cu. ft./3 microfilm rolls)

The Speeches (1946–1951) are actually a separate series from the Gubernatorial series, but for the purposes of the microfilming project the material in the Speeches series dating from 1946 to January 1951 are being treated as a “subseries” of the Gubernatorial series and filmed. This series was created in 1946 when Thurmond ran for Governor of South Carolina; material from the South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina was interfiled into the series at Clemson University. It has two subseries: the General File and the Originals.

The Speeches subseries contains several different types of speech material: Addresses, Remarks, Speeches, and Statements. Addresses, Remarks, Speeches and Statements were generally given by Thurmond at various official (inauguration, “State of the State”) and unofficial functions and include those made on radio. Some of the other types of material in the series, however, are not truly speeches. This non-speech material includes Articles, Press Releases, Questions and Answers and Telegrams. Most of the Articles are written by or contain information about Thurmond, while Questions and Answers are interviews with Thurmond.

The folders of the General File and the Originals subseries are arranged chronologically by year; alphabetically by type of material within each year; and then chronologically within each type. Material is filed individually in separate folders.

The General File (Subseries A) contains the final drafts or record copies of Thurmond's speech and non-speech materials. The numbering of the folders reflects that of the Speeches series, and does not relate to the numbering scheme of the Gubernatorial series as a whole. Items in this subseries clearly show what issues and events affected the state of South Carolina and the rest of the country during Thurmond's tenure as governor. Some of the major issues covered are agriculture, civil defense, civil rights, education (including federal aid to education), freight rates, hydroelectric power, industrial development, law enforcement, state legislation, states' rights, segregation, temperance, the textile industry, universal military training and water resources development. Events include the 1946 Governor’s race, the lynching of Willie Earle in 1947, the 1948 States’ Rights campaign and the 1950 Senatorial campaign. Campaign speeches may also be found in the Campaigns subseries of the Gubernatorial series, particularly in the 1948 States’ Rights campaign material.

The Originals (Subseries B) contains copies of speech materials used by Thurmond when giving a speech or original drafts of non-speech materials. The numbering of the folders was done for the microfilming project, and does not reflect the final numbering sequence in the Speeches series; as with the General File subseries, it also does not relate to the numbering scheme of the Gubernatorial series as a whole. The copies of speeches may include handwritten additions, deletions and marks indicating pauses, emphasis and cadence. There is some overlap between the contents of the two subseries, but there are speeches in Originals that do not appear in the General File, and visa versa; appended is a list that indicates which gubernatorial speeches are in both subseries. Topics covered in Originals reflect those in the General File.

Scrapbooks (Subseries E, 1923–1955; 13 volumes/3 microfilm rolls)

The Scrapbooks (1923–1955) are another series separate from the Gubernatorial series; in this case, three rolls of previously filmed scrapbooks are being treated as a “subseries” of the Gubernatorial series. They consist of Historical Record Books (Subseries A in the Scrapbooks series), which contain newspaper clippings about Thurmond’s career.

The contents of the volumes are arranged in rough chronological order. The inclusive dates given in the volume titles are not necessarily indicative of the amount of material present for any one day or month. The dates on the covers of the early original volumes were often inaccurate, but the titles appearing on the microfilm correct these inaccuracies. Campaign volumes were left in their original location in the numerical sequence, causing some overlap of dates between volumes.

Because these volumes were filmed prior to the Gubernatorial Papers project, the microfilm rolls contain material that pre- and antedates Thurmond’s term as governor. To identify breaks between volumes on the same roll, two frames of stripes, the volume-title target, and two more frames of stripes were filmed at the beginning of each volume.

The attached volume-title listings indicate the roll number, the volume number, inclusive dates and activities or offices held during the period in question.

Additional Material (Subseries F, 1946–1951; .225 cu. ft./1 microfilm roll)

This subseries was created in 1998 when additional speech files were acquired from the Thurmond Senate Office in Aiken, South Carolina. It is Subseries D, Recent Additions to Speeches, of the Speeches series. Rather than redo the speeches already filmed for the project, this material is being appended to the end of the Gubernatorial Papers as a separate subseries.

The folders in the subseries are arranged chronologically by year; alphabetically by speech format within each year; and then chronologically within each format. Each speech entry is followed by a numerical code number to represent the sequential order of speeches in each folder, i.e. D1-1 represents the first speech in Folder 1 of Speeches subseries D.

The subseries contains several different types of speech formats: Addresses, Speeches, and Statements made before, during, and after Thurmond’s term of office as Governor of South Carolina; however, only material from 1946-1951 has been filmed. Addresses, Speeches, and Statements cover Thurmond’s candidacy for Governor, political ideas for and management of state government, and support for foreign and domestic issues. All speech formats provide remarks Strom Thurmond made on radio, in media publications and personal correspondence, from the state capitol, and throughout South Carolina.

The non-speech formats include Articles and Press Releases. Most of the Articles are written by or contain information about Thurmond. The non-speech formats cover Thurmond’s opposition to “The Barnwell Ring”, and his support for state law enforcement and veterans’ agencies.

Important individuals from South Carolina mentioned in this subseries include United States Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, United States Senators Olin D. Johnston and Burnet R. Maybank, State Senator Edgar Brown and State Representative Solomon Blatt. United States President Harry S. Truman is also mentioned in this subseries.
