Organizational History
With roots dating back to the 18th century, the Democratic Party is the oldest continuously
operational political party in South Carolina. However, the modern iteration of the party is
frequently dated to 1876, when the election of Wade Hampton III as governor brought an end to
the state’s Republican Reconstruction government and ushered in an era of almost absolute
Democratic dominance in the state. As Don Fowler writes in the South Carolina Encyclopedia:
Although there were vast differences of ideology, style, and sophistication among state Democrats, one
overriding, enduring value and purpose held it together: maintaining a segregated party and society and
‘keeping the Negro population in their place,’ as well as an intense aversion to the Republican Party.
Conflicts within the Democratic Party included elites versus populists, lowcountry versus upstate, mill
workers versus mill owners, and conflicts of personality among political leaders. Without question, the
dominant, controlling influence in South Carolina politics (and therefore the Democratic Party) was the
established, conservative economic and social order.1
The Democratic Party of South Carolina (DPSC) exercised near-complete control over the state’s
political scene through World War II. As a result, the party had to expend little effort in
promoting itself or its candidates – a fact reflected in the paucity of records documenting its early
20th century activities. In the decades following the war, social changes that swept the nation
forced state Democratic officials to try to balance the social conservatism of their traditional
voter base with increasing political participation and demands for inclusion by minority groups
and the national party’s broad support of the civil rights, women’s rights, and anti-war
movements.2 The state party’s attempts to cultivate support of African Americans and women
are especially well documented in the elections, conventions, and issues series of this collection.
Despite the party’s attempts to be responsive and retain its popularity with the electorate,
increasing numbers of socially and economically conservative voters were attracted to the wellorganized, active, and increasingly successful Republican Party.3 These changes did not occur
overnight, but by the time a report titled “Party Organization and the State Headquarters” was
completed in 1967, state Democratic leaders recognized that they needed to change if they
wanted to effectively contend for political power. In addition to urging the party and candidates
to switch their focus from the primary to the General Election (where an increasing number of
offices were being contested), the reporting committee concluded that the party must expand its
operations in order to successfully organize votes, money, and ongoing support. The report is
echoed in later records, as the evolving political scene required the party to organize more
effectively. As then-Chairman Don Fowler wrote to S. E. Lowry on December 28, 1972:
Here in South Carolina we have a lot of basic grassroots work to do. We cannot rest any longer on our
laurels as Democrats and think automatically everybody else is a Democrat. We are faced with
significant challenges all up and down the line and if we don’t take some positive corrective action we
are going to find ourselves out in the woods -- as you well know. [….] I think that we have got to look

towards specific programs of action to strengthen our Party rather than just deal with sentimentality about
getting together and doing better. We have got to think in concrete terms of doing things. 4
The “concrete” efforts of the DPSC to adapt to changes affecting the country and state and the
ascendancy of the Republican Party are well documented in the collection, especially in
materials dating from the socially and politically tumultuous 1970s. Despite the loss of its
political supremacy in the second half of the 20th century, the DPSC has remained a viable and
active force in state politics, as demonstrated by the election, convention, and administrative
records from the past decade. As shown in the party papers, the organization continues to work
for the election of its candidates for public office, organize and govern itself through conventions
and committees, and engage in activities to build and consolidate support for the people and
policies it represents.
Scope and Content Note
The DPSC Records consists of 85 linear feet of material, 1924 to 2008, with the bulk of the
collection dating from 1966 to 2008. The party’s activities during the 1970s are particularly well
documented. The collection is arranged into 13 series – General, Administration, Auxiliaries,
Committees, Conventions, Elections, Issues, Patronage, Programs, Publications, Maps,
Clippings, and Audiovisual.
The Administration series, 1924 to 2007, is comprised of records that document the
organizational and administrative activities of the DPSC and its personnel, as well as some of the
activities of county parties and elected officials at the state and national levels. The most notable
subseries within this series are Financial, Office, and Party Leadership.
The Financial subseries, 1924 to 2007, consists of two subseries, Party Finances and
Fundraising. Party Finances contains records of activities not directly related to fundraising or
elections, and includes records of the accounting and banking practices and operational expenses
of the DPSC. Fundraising consists of records of the party’s efforts to acquire revenue to sustain
the DPSC as an entity; records documenting fundraising efforts for specific elections or
candidates are located in the Elections series.
The Office subseries, 1968 to 2004, includes records of activities of the party’s office staff,
notably Executive Directors and Associate Executive Directors. The Party Leadership
subseries, 1934 to 2004, includes files on Democrats elected to public office, elected party
officials (e.g., state chairmen), and other political leaders.
The Auxiliaries series, 1966 to 2003, consists of materials related to auxiliary organizations of
the Democratic Party. Groups represented include the Democratic Women’s Council, Teen
Democrats, and Young Democrats. Auxiliary conventions and activities of the 1970s are
particularly well documented.
The Committees series, 1960s to 2008, contains records that document the activities of the
Democratic National Committee, State Executive Committee, Executive Council, Finance

Committee, other committees created by the DPSC, and county party executive committees.
Committees on the party platform and rules are housed with the Conventions series.
The Conventions series, 1960 to 2008, consists of records related to conventions in which the
DPSC or its members were involved. The major types of convention represented in this series
are the county convention (including the preceding precinct organizational meetings, records for
which are filed under the appropriate county), state convention, and the Democratic National
Convention. Delegate and alternate selection, convention planning, and platform and rules
development are among the activities documented in this series.
Records related to other conferences and mid-term conventions – most notably the 1974 midterm conference in Kansas City – are also located in this series. Included in the documentation
of this convention are a substantial number of materials related to the 1974 Democratic Charter
and the Charter Commission, of which then-State Party Chairman Don Fowler was a member.
The Elections series, 1944 to 2008, consists of records documenting the work of the party in
Democratic campaigns for public office at the local, state, and national levels. Primary, general,
and special elections are all represented in this series, which is arranged by year. Records in this
series include filing forms, correspondence, informational materials about candidates, documents
on campaign strategy and activities, campaign fundraising materials, voter registration materials,
and election protest transcripts. 6 boxes of material in this series are restricted. Inquire with
SCPC staff for more information.
The Issues series, 1969 to 1994, documents the party’s role and interest in a variety of social,
political, economic and legal issues.
The Patronage series, 1969 to 1998, bulk 1969 to 1975, includes records of the party’s use of its
influence to assist supporters. These records are arranged into topical groupings such as
education, employment, and political patronage. Although this subseries includes resumes and
rosters of commission members and potential appointees, its primary focus is on patronage
requests.
The Programs series, 1971 to 1974, consists of material related to programs that the DPSC
conducted to attract the support of particular groups of people, such as businessmen and young
voters. The activities documented in this series were undertaken to recruit general support and
potential leaders to the party, rather than simply to gain votes.
The Publications series, 1950 to 2004, bulk 1996 to 1998, consists of newsletters and other
regular publications of national, state, and local Democratic Party organizations for select years.
The Maps series, c. 2000, consists of printouts of computer-generated maps of most of South
Carolina’s precincts. The reason for which the South Carolina Democratic Party printed and
saved these maps is not clear.
The Clippings series, 1962 to 2006, is primarily concerned with elections, legislation,
contemporary issues affecting the state and the nation, and people of interest to the DPSC.
4
The Audiovisual series, 1967 to c. 2008, consists of materials in a variety of media, including
photographs, photographic negatives, a compact disc, U-Matic and VHS tapes, audiocassette
tapes, audio reels, and film. The collection also includes two Scrapbooks of photographs, one
from 1992 and one from 1997. These items are housed separately from the rest of the collection
and are available upon request.
