Excerpts From History

Published in the Dallas Express in 1949, but it could have been written today.

“We find that a country made strong on racial hate and tactics designed and calculated to control minority groups, cannot turn into a country minus racial hate and truly democratic overnight.”

The COURANT profoundly regrets the victory you have been enabled to win by reason of the dog in the manger policy of your leading opponent. If ever a man deserved defeat you did. By placing you in the third highest place in the commonwealth the Republican legislative majority has betrayed the best interests of the party, and will regret an act of inconceivable folly.
