Dear Sirs
I was surprised snd appalled at the
statements made by you relative to the victory
of Lester Maddox in the Democratic Primary.
Do you not believe in the Democratic
processes?
As much as I would hate to have Lester
Maddox as the Governor of this state, he could be
no worse as such than L3J in his position as
President.
And the climax of your statement, to
the effect that the Seal of this state has been
tarnished by the nomination of Maddox, is that
instead of doing something about it in November
you are going fishing.
This sounds like you would not lift
a hand to save a drowning brother. If by virtue
of your supporting Callaway in the November
election under these extenuating circumstances
you would be ostracized by the Democratic Party,
IT suggest you find another party. /
Yours veny vty,
