{{cquote|Part of [William D.] Barnard's confusion no doubt stems from his faulty assertion that the former-economic progressives who became Dixiecrats (Wilkinson, Locke, Connor) "had not followed the route of Bibb Graves and Handy Ellis. They had not become partisans of the New Deal." But, in fact, they had. Wilkinson (aided by Locke) had been perhaps Bibb Graves's most important lieutenant during the progressive New Deal years. He had actually overseen Graves's election campaign. Bull Connor had been an ardent New Dealer. And John Temple Graves, a former progressive and New Deal adherent, also became a prominent Dixiecrat—only one so refined that Barnard had placed him in a protected category with the genteel Dixon-McCorvey class of "better sorts"—as with Ellis, a New Dealer who later populated the Dixiecrat ranks. This pattern extended well beyond Alabama. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina had been a New Dealer as had even Louisiana's Leander Perez and, to some degree, Mississippi's James Eastland.|||"The Great Melding: War, the Dixiecrat Rebellion, and the Southern Model for America's New Conservatism," p. 256}}
