Democrats supporting Roosevelt's New Deal program
Not all democrats thought Roosevelt was right in trying to make some of the major tasks in the country a concern of the government and not just the separate states; e.g. labor regulations, benefits for the needy and much, much more.
"High up there" means that Henry Wing had a rather high position in the Roosevelt administration, i.e. he was supposed to have much influence on policy making.

: There was considerable opposition to Roosevelt in the otherwise democratic South, I believe. And "high up" means just that --he was a major player in the administration.
