Five Against Pepper
France, Royal Wilbur | April 29, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the Southern Democratic primary campaigns, being fought in Florida, to decide whether Claude Pepper, one of the few Southern liberals, shall have a third term in the U.S. Senate. The League for Constitutional Government has placed five candidates in the field for the Senatorial nomination, believing that this will keep Pepper from getting a majority of the votes in the first primary and necessitate a run-off. Pepper's services to the industries of Florida have been considerable and are appreciated. He is identified in the minds of reactionary businessmen with government controls and high taxes. But undoubtedly the strongest factor on his side is the solid backing of organized labor.
