Albert Gore has accepted well over $150;000.00 in outside campaign money,--mostly from carpetbagger extremist groups. For example, radical George McGovern's 1970 campaign fund alone gave $60,000. The obstructionist National Committee for An Effective Congress put in $20,000. The peace-at-any-price Council for A Llvable World supports Albert Gore because it says, "as Chairman of the Disarma­ ment Subcommittee, he occupies a vital position of power in the Senate which he has used again, and again to challenge the military hegemony." These radical outfits with high-sounding names are campaigning to elect some 15 "chosen" Senators, buying their votes for extremist programs.

    Civil Rights and the Primary Election of 1964 in Indiana: The Wallace Challenge* Matthew E. Welsh** In the spring of 1964 Democratic Governor George Corley Wallace of Alabama announced that he was going to campaign for the presidency of the United States, opposing President Lyndon B. Johnson, also a Democrat. Wallace had become a national figure by defying the United States Supreme Court in refusing admission of Negro students to the University of Ala- bama, and his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomi- nation had obvious overtones of racial intolerance which I found most disturbing. Indiana had come a long way since the adoption of its Constitution of 1851, Article XI11 of which barred Negroes and mulattoes from entering the state. At that time blacks already living in the state, many of whom had been born here, were not regarded as citizens. They could neither vote nor hold public office. They could not serve on juries or in the militia, and they were barred from public schools.' Article XI11 was voided by the Indiana Supreme Court in 1866. The General Assembly authorized school integration in 1877, prohibited discrimination in enjoyment of public accommodations in 1885, and in 1963 created the Indiana Civil Rights Commission with broad pow- ers and an adequate budget.2 The record also disclosed, how- ever, that the statewide referendum in 1936 approving amend- ment of the Constitution to permit Negroes to be members of * This article is an account of the 1964 primary election in Indiana as experienced and remembered by one of the major participants in the campaign.

The Constitution made no provision whatever for political parties. While its framers recognized that reasonable disagreement and organized debate were healthy components in a democratic society, creation of permanent factions was an extreme to be avoided. (The consensus among the founding fathers was that political parties were potentially dangerous because they divided society, became dominated by narrow special interests, and placed mere party loyalty above concern for the common welfare.) Hence, to identify Washington with the Federalist Party is an ex post facto distinction. Accordingly, Washington's first "election" is more accurately described as a "placement"; his second election was procedural only. The first presidential challenge whereby the citizenry genuinely expressed choice between candidates affiliated with two separate parties occurred in 1896, when John Adams won the honor of following in Washington's footsteps. The cartoon above shows the infamous brawl in House of Representatives between Democratic-Republican Matthew Lyon of Vermont and Federalist Roger Griswold from Connecticut.

During the preceding half century numerous bridges, monuments and markers along the "unguarded boundary" had been established and dedicated to the peace and friendship ideal. More significantly still, in 1932 two " peace parks" had been cre2.ted: ( 1) the International Peace Garden, on the border between H anitoba and North Dako ta, consisting of 1300 acres on the Canadian side and 900 on the American side and (2) the Waterton­ Gl acier International Peace Park, between Alberta and Mo ntana, a vast area of 1, l22,481 ac res-140,800 in Canada and 981,681 in the United States. 1 Although the opening o f each of these parks was hailed as a remarkabl ~ demonstration of amity and friendship- which indeed was true- neither in reality is an international park. Each country is responsibl! for the administration and financial upkeep of that portion of each p 1rk lying within its own boundaries. In sharp contras t, the Roosevelt Campobello International Park is truly " international" . It is owned by the people of the two countries and is administered in their name by a joint Canadian-American commission. Who fir st had the imaginative thought of converting the former Roosevelt property on Campobello Island into an international park it, obviously, is im possible to say with any certainty.
