The letter, which comes from
an illiterate Negro citizen of
Louisiana, is a direct answer to
these Southern senators' who
claim that the people of the
South are opposed to passage • f
the bill because southern states
are able to solve the crime >f
lynching through state controlled
agencies of the law. It gives he
direct lie to Senator Tom Conn
ally, who has said that he will
bring witnesses from Texas to
Washington to prove that there
is no necessity for passage of an
Antd-Lynching bill. The complete
of the letter follows;
"I am .writing &is in ibehalf f
itfw lAfaiti-tynehing MIL I waa
reading tlxe paper where they
waa tiytng to get it tfaroogh the
Senate. I am praying thia Antl-
lynching bill will pass because

Davis sent Connally s long
letter recently pointing out to
the Texas Senator that the old
arguments against a Federal
Anti-lynching hill can no longer
hold weight because “economic

In the letter, a copy of which

Davis gives the Xfiswer to those
who proclaim that a decrease in

“As long as there is one
