Abstract:

This article analyzes the workings of the Democratic Party via an examination of the 1930 senatorial primary. Focus is placed on candidate profiles, particularly that of conscientious senator Furnifold M. Simmons and his dilemma of being torn between his responsibility for national legislation, concern for his local constituents, and his desire for re-election--all within the framework of inner-party politics.
