GF.fiER, &. C < tJPT', — Sen.
Barry Goldwater campaigned in
the Carolinas today with a pre
diction that the defection of Sen.
S rom Thurmond from the Demo
cratic party will cause a gradual
realignment of the political parties.
"Hundreds of people, thousands
of people, and now millions of
people will make a move,” Gold
water told a crowd estimated by
police at 8,000 to 10,000 in front
of the eburttiiUse fcf Raleigh, N. C.
Thurmond, who repudiated the
Democratic party Wednesday night
to become • the Deep South’s only
‘JtepuWicab; senattllri Goldwater as
one of America’s "most courageous
men.”
The 61-year-old conservative told
his constituents that Goldwater
would make a great president.
“He has risked the ire of the
liberal, left-wing, socialist es
tablishment in this country - even
in his own party - in order to
stand by his convictions as to the
meaning and intent of the Found
ing Fathers in giving us the United
States Constitution,” Thurmond
said.
Wave Rebel Flags
Some 20,000 persons, many noia
lng Confederate flags, were on
hand for what was expected to
be Goldwa'-er’s lone visit to South
Carolina.
Thurmond said Goldwater*g can
didacy deserved the support of “all
South Carolinians and all Ameri
cans.”
Qoldwater told his audience,
'•'There is nothing left ... of the
principles that your fathers and
grandfathers stood for in the De
mocratic party- I wonder how many
votes Hubert Humphrey would
have gotten out of the South of
your fathers and grandfathers.”
“As long as this party no long
er represons your principles you
can vote for the party that keeps
those principles alive. That’s the
Republican party of today,” Gold
water said.
He hailed the emergence of a
real two-party system in Dixie.
“Follow the brave exujnle of
S?rom Thurmond,” Goldvratir told
the cheering crowd.
