2 South Carolina Political Collections William D. Workman, Jr. Collection, Page 2 Biographical Note: Journalist William D. Workman, Jr. is best remembered for his pivotal role in the emergence of the Republican Party as a viable alternative to the Democratic Party in South Carolina. In 1962, when the Democrats were the dominant political power in the state, he made a serious bid for the U.S. Senate as a Republican. Although ultimately unsuccessful, Workman received enough votes to signal to others of like mind that a Republican could win a state-wide race. William Douglas Workman, Jr., son of William Douglas and Vivian (Watkins) Workman, was born in Greenwood, South Carolina on August 10, After graduating from Greenville High School in 1931, Workman entered The Citadel where he majored in English and History. Upon graduation in 1935, he moved to Washington, D.C., to attend George Washington University Law School. Law school proved not to his liking, and he returned to South Carolina where he began his career in journalism as a reporter for the Charleston News and Courier. In addition to reporting for the News and Courier, Workman also managed local radio station WTMA. Workman was called to active duty by the U.S. Army in His wartime service as an intelligence officer included tours in the United States, England, North Africa and the Pacific. He was demobilized in 1945 and returned to South Carolina to resume his career as a journalist. He remained active in the reserves and eventually retired from the military in 1965 with the rank of colonel. Upon his return to the News and Courier, Workman became capital correspondent in Columbia. In addition to his position with the News and Courier, between 1945 and 1962, Workman wrote columns and articles for numerous other publications. These included several newspapers around the state, Newsweek magazine, the Hall Syndicate, and South Carolina Magazine. He also appeared regularly on WIS radio and TV in Columbia. Workman's skills as a researcher and writer were not limited to newspapers and broadcast journalism. A strong believer in states rights and the virtues of the Southern culture, Workman authored The Case for the South (1960), a statement of the South s position on integration, and The Bishop from Barnwell (1963), which looks at twentieth-century South Carolina politics and the key role played therein by Senator Edgar A. Brown. Workman utilized his first-hand experience as a reporter of the 1950s segregation battles when he assisted in the writing of three additional books on the South and its way of life. This Is The South (1959) is a Robert West Howard work on Southern civilization. With All Deliberate Speed (1957) and Southern Schools: Progress and Problems (1959), which were supported by the Southern Education Reporting Service, examine the issues of segregation and desegregation in Southern schools. Workman s bold challenge to incumbent Senator Olin D. Johnston in 1962 ended the first phase of his journalism career. A longtime conservative, the Republican Workman believed Johnston was too closely aligned with the National Democratic Party and decided the people of South Carolina deserved a Senator more in line with the conservative traditions of the state. In a

3 South Carolina Political Collections William D. Workman, Jr. Collection, Page 3 speech accepting the Republican nomination, Workman said, It is the Republican Party which offers the best hope, and perhaps the last hope, of stemming the liberal tide which has been sweeping the United States toward the murky depths of socialism.... We must stop floating along the stream of least resistance and get our feet back down on the firm ground of sound, conservative, responsible government. His campaign was the first significant Republican challenge in an important statewide race since Reconstruction. Workman made a strong showing, and earned forty-three percent of the vote. His effort, though unsuccessful, is credited with establishing the structure for a viable Republican party in South Carolina. Following the election, Workman accepted the position of assistant editor with The State paper in Columbia. After he attained the post of editor in May 1966, Workman grew increasingly restless with the administrative duties that required so much of his time. He relinquished the editorship and its bureaucratic demands in 1972, to spend more time in research and writing. Workman remained with the paper as an editorial analyst until his retirement in From 1980 to 1982, he wrote occasional articles under the title of editorial consultant. In 1981 he coauthored, with Claude R. Canup, Charles E. Daniel: His Philosophy and Legacy, a biography of the founder of Greenville's Daniel Construction Company. Workman s activities and pursuits outside of journalism were often reflected in the subjects of his articles. With his deep commitment to South Carolina and its people, the state s history, politics, and quality of life were of great interest to Workman. In 1966 Workman agreed to Governor Robert McNair s request that he assist the state s Constitutional Revision Committee. He served as the group s secretary for the next three years. The committee s 1969 report led to significant changes in the operation of local and county government, which had been under the centralized control of the county legislative delegations. In keeping with his commitment to the people, especially the young people, of South Carolina, Workman was active as a director of the James F. Byrnes Foundation. Established by the late James F. Byrnes and his wife Maude in 1948, this organization provides college scholarship funds and guidance counseling for qualified South Carolina orphans. Workman served as the Foundation s president from His retirement from The State in 1979 did not end Workman s interest in politics or the wellbeing of his fellow citizens. In 1982, despite the onset of a mild form of Parkinson s disease, Workman ran for Governor against popular incumbent Dick Riley. Although close associates, such as his 1962 campaign manager, J. Drake Edens, Jr., tried to dissuade him, Workman was determined to offer the people of South Carolina an alternative. He believed he and Riley had the same goals for South Carolina, but differed on the means of achieving them. In spite of lukewarm financial support from the state and national Republican parties, Workman gained 31% of the vote in the loss to Riley. In a speech after the election, he said, I m glad I made the fight. I've opened South Carolina to a lot of truisms. One is the need for a two-party system. It would have been a fluke if I had won. All the cards were stacked against me, financial and name recognition. After the 1982 election Workman quietly faded from public life. The Parkinson s disease gradually worsened, and on November 23, 1990, William D. Workman, Jr. passed away,

Workman, Jr. Collection, Page 4 survived by his two children, son Bill III, a 1961 Citadel graduate and a mayor of Greenville, S.C., daughter Dorrill ["Dee"] Workman, and four grandchildren. Scope and Content Note: The collection consists of 65 linear feet of material, , arranged in nine major series: Papers, Campaigns, Journalism, Personal Papers, Published Manuscripts, Speeches, Topical Files, Clippings, and Audio-Visual Materials. When possible, Workman s original arrangement and file headings have been retained (i.e. Constitutional Reform, Integration/Civil Rights). Some files have been rearranged, retitled, or combined for clarity and ease of use. Papers, 1933 to 1985, consists primarily of Workman s correspondence with friends, colleagues, Citadel classmates, wartime buddies, and admirers from around the country. Among his regular correspondents were Citadel classmate and Charleston Evening Post editor Robert M. Hitt, Jr., 1935 to 1968, and longtime friend and Nixon biographer Earl Mazo, 1952 to Mazo, a fellow newspaperman, moved to the New York Herald Tribune after working at the News and Courier with Workman. Letters pertaining primarily to politics or journalism, or to specific persons or topics (such as Strom Thurmond or Energy) are found in the appropriate series or subseries. Campaign Files, , are significant for their breadth. Extensive records document Workman s 1962 Senate campaign. The series also contains newsletters and material regarding other elections, conventions, and general coverage of the state and national Democratic and Republican parties. Several files concern the States Rights Party and its campaigns in 1948 and There is an unusual example of campaign literature from the 1956 Presidential race a cartoon book titled Forward with Eisenhower-Nixon: Let s Continue Peace... Prosperity... Progress. Journalism records chronicle Workman s career from his days as a reporter on the Charleston News and Courier to his term as editor of The State newspaper in Columbia. There are extensive files documenting Workman s efforts to produce three special historical editions of The State. These commemorated South Carolina s Tricentennial, the U.S. Bicentennial, and the Centennial of the burning of Columbia during the Civil War. His last special edition, in 1978, was a survey of the South Carolina state government titled South Carolina Digest. Personal Papers contains family papers of Workman and his wife, including biographical data, correspondence, 1915 to 1971, and records of Workman s military career, 1931 to 1965, civic activities, and financial affairs. Although the financial records are not comprehensive, Workman s financial affairs, 1956 to 1981, are documented by correspondence, tax returns and ledgers of earnings and expenditures. Family members represented in the correspondence include Workman s parents, sister Virginia, wife Rhea, and her parents Ruth and Heber Thomas. Of particular interest is an extensive series of letters from Heber Thomas [ ], a native of Crocketville and a longtime resident of Walterboro, to Thomas fiancée and later wife, Ruth (Dorrill) Thomas. A private in the army during the First World War, Thomas received his military training at Clemson in May and June of 1918, and at Camp Meade, Maryland. His unit was sent overseas in August, Thomas served chiefly in France, with a field artillery unit of

5 South Carolina Political Collections William D. Workman, Jr. Collection, Page 5 the 79th Division of the American Expeditionary Force and later with the Army of Occupation. His wartime letters reflect his loneliness and concern with duty. Shortly after his arrival in France, Thomas wrote Our officers seem to think the war will not last long, but oh God I wish it was all over so I could come back home. (Aug. 15, 1918) A week later, still awaiting his first taste of action, he wrote From what little news I can gather is that the Americans are giving the Germans Hell and you can bet that we will keep it up. I presume it will be some time before we go to the front. But when the word is said I will be up and ready to do my duty. (Aug. 23, 1918) Heber and Ruth married in They had one daughter, Heber Rhea [ ], known to her family and friends as Dimples, and to Workman as Tommie. Workman and Rhea, a Winthrop graduate, were married in June Eager to keep busy during Workman s absence in World War II, Rhea accepted an offer to be the supervisor of recreation for the Walterboro WPA serviceman s club. After the war, Rhea returned to school, and earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in English at the University of South Carolina. From 1957 to 1977, Rhea taught English at Columbia College. Personal Papers also contains Rhea s frequent letters to her parents while attending Winthrop in the mid-1930s, and a considerable correspondence with Workman before and after their marriage. Of special interest are Workman s World War Two letters from England, 1942, North Africa, 1942 to 1943, Hawaii, 1945, and posts in the states including Fort Bragg, NC, 1941, Norfolk, VA, 1941 to 1942, Camp Davis, NC, 1943, Fort Leavenworth, KS, 1944, and Fort Bliss, TX, 1944 to Although limited in what he could say because of censorship regulations, Workman described for Rhea his impressions of the people and places he was stationed. Her letters provide insight into life on the home front, the difficulties There have been two more cases of polio this week...none of us are going to the movies or anywhere, and the lighter moments Tonight was a big night at the club...jittering, doing the double Lindy Hop no less! The post-war years were busy ones personally as well as professionally. In the mid-1950s Workman and his wife became founding members of the Trenholm Road Methodist Church. Correspondence documents his growing disenchantment with the policies of the church, particularly in the areas of social and political affairs. In a 1972 letter to the Methodist Advocate explaining his resignation as a delegate to the Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference of the Methodist Church, Workman stated the actions and pronouncements at the 1972 Conference make it impossible for me to profess adherence to the prevailing course of presentday Methodism... The church so blatantly repudiated United States policy in national and international affairs as to grievously offend my sense of loyalty to country... In a related letter, Workman further expressed his disenchantment with the church I fear that the magnitude and the momentum of liberal extremism in the United Methodist Church have reached the point of no return. Personal Papers also documents Workman s thirty years of military service as an intelligence officer during World War II and as a Reservist. Among the files is a series of sixty-one World War II aircraft recognition cards from London s Valentine & Sons and a bound volume of America s Alertmen, 1942, a weekly newspaper for the Antiaircraft Artillery Command, Eastern Theater of Operations.

6 South Carolina Political Collections William D. Workman, Jr. Collection, Page 6 Published Manuscripts includes material pertaining to Workman s writing and publication of several books. Among these are the original and revised versions of the manuscript for The Case for the South, correspondence with the publisher, and reaction letters from readers across the country. Newspaper coverage, including book reviews, is located here and in the Clippings files. Other publications with materials in this series include The Bishop from Barnwell, Southern Schools: Progress and Problems, and With All Deliberate Speed. Workman, an articulate speaker, spoke to groups throughout the state on a wide variety of topics. His Speech files include texts of remarks and charts on which he recorded the date, place, group, attendance, topic, amount of honorarium and the person who invited him to speak. Topical Files is a broad series containing correspondence and background information on subjects of personal and professional interest to Workman. These include Constitutional Reform, Education, Electoral Reform, Energy, and a particularly rich and informative Integration/Civil Rights subseries. Persons files regard thirty-seven individuals with whom Workman corresponded or in whom he had some special interest. Local, state, and national figures include William F. Buckley, Jr., s Mark Clark and William Westmoreland, Strom Thurmond, Judge J. Waties Waring, Lester Bates and J[ohn] K. Breedin. The Thomas Family file consists of stories compiled by Ruth Thomas about her youth and family. The Ernest F. Hollings files contain Workman s notes from Hollings gubernatorial press conferences, , gubernatorial campaign of 1958, and primary campaign for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in 1962 (including transcripts of television appearances). The George Bell Timmerman and Donald Russell files also contain gubernatorial press conference notes and speeches. Clippings are arranged topically and parallel the other series to a certain extent. This series is a rich source of contemporary information on a wide range of subjects. Included are Workman's editorials from The State, coverage of political campaigns and parties, and state government, and files on a large number of individuals. This series concludes with a set of twelve scrapbooks titled South Carolina By-Lines, , in which Workman preserved copies of his articles. Audio-Visual Materials is primarily composed of photographs and photographic negatives by Workman. Numerous photos document the 1962 Senate campaign. An accomplished photographer, in 1984 a retrospective of his work was mounted at the Columbia Museum of Art. An assortment of prints selected for the retrospective, sponsored by Springs Industries, are present. Sixty-five audio recordings, chiefly political in nature, provide a chance to hear key figures in modern southern political history, among them Herman E. Talmadge, Sen. Edgar A. Brown, and George Wallace. The earliest tape in the collection is a 1938 recording of a campaign speech by Cotton Ed Smith. There are several tapes from rallies and other events held during Workman s 1962 Senate campaign. The recordings also include interviews with Workman by Mike Wallace and by Dave Garroway of NBC s Today Show following the publication of his book The Case for the South.
