Ida Darden published the conservative weekly newspaper ''Southern Conservative'' from 1950 to 1961. Her early political views were influenced by Texas senator Joe Bailey, who opposed women's suffrage, taxes, labor unions, prohibition, and [[Woodrow Wilson]]. The ''Southern Conservative'' championed anti-Communist politicians such as Senator [[Joe McCarthy]] of [[Wisconsin]] and excoriated [[civil rights]], minorities, unions, the [[United Nations]], and the liberal wing of the Texas Democratic Party. Funded by a few wealthy Texas businessmen, the newspaper struggled financially and ended in 1961, when Darden left to care for her terminally ill only child.<ref>George N.
