Kennedy Sentiment Sir: We have read with considerable interest the May 20 issue of the Observer. What happened in Dallas, Austin, Houston, and one or two other places \(excludtribute to real liberalism, the Randolph brand. Got only two arguments in my craw: in reporting the Bexar convention, the remark was made several times that the independent liberal faction was a “proStevenson” group. This is true but not all true. The majority strength in this group was Kennedy support, and this Kennedy support cast 79 of the 117 votes opposing the Johnson resolution. Stevenson, Kennedy, and Humphrey supporters worked together in a vain attempt to make the labor-NegroLatin coalition hew to liberalism as we understand it. Power, not conviction, won. The other point concerns the charge that we were dealing in any way with the F.I.A. Being one of those sitting in policy sessions with the independent liberals, I know that an attempt was made by the F.I.A. crowd to deal with us. It was given a cold reception, and was not even considered seriously. Let those labor-liberal-proJohnson groups know that we still love them, but that we, rightly or wrongly, happen to think that Kennedy, Stevenson, and Hurnphrey are the only liberals being mentioned. We don’t like Johnson, don’t consider him liberal, and don’t consider him fit presidential timber. Kennedy for President Clubs, by Dick Meskill, temporary secretary, 519 W. Mulberry, San Antonio. Hall and Mrs. R. Sir: You will be interested to know that Walter Hall and the Galveston County Democratic chairman and convention chairman, C. R. Johnson, stood foursquare at our county Democratic convention along with the Republicans and Shivercrats to prevent the bringing of a resolution endorsing Mrs. R. D. Randolph for national committeewoman before the convention . . . \(The resolutions committee refused to consider the resolution on Mrs. Randolph. I introduced it from the floor, requested a roll call vote, and received a second call vote, asking a show of hands. He then cynically ruled that the motion failed, which it did not. In fact, it would have passed overwhelmingly on a roll call, as the majority of loyal Democrats at the convention, although pledged to Walter Hall to support Lyndon all the way, would have bolted his attempt to have them turn their backs on Mrs. Randolph. A roll call was again requested and refused. I then moved to overrule the ruling of the chair that the motion had failed and requested a roll call vote. The motion was duly seconded. Mr. Johnson refused to allow any vote on the motion to overrule. Mr. Hall raised a point of order to the effect that I was out of order in appealing the ruling of the chair, saying the sentiment of the convention had been expressed. I requested a ruling from the Parliamentarian, who ruled that my motion was in order. Mr. Johnson refused a vote on my motion to overrule, claiming my fictions were dilatory .. . Here’s to Mrs. Randolph’s fight against the “Lackeys for Lyndon” Clubs across the state. DONALD M. BROWN, Route 1, Box 94-B, Hitchcock, Texas.
