ellender was steadfastly loyal to all democratic presidential nominees and refused to support then governor strom thurmond of south carolina for president in 1948. that year thurmond, the states rights party nominee, was also listed on the ballot as the official democratic nominee in louisiana and three other southern states. ellender supported harry truman, whose name was placed on the ballot only after governor earl kemp long called a special session of the legislature to place the president's name on the ballot. "as a democratic nominee, i am pledged to support the candidate of my party, and that i will do," declared ellender, though he could have argued that thurmond, not truman, was technically the "democratic nominee" in louisiana.
