TO the Editor Of TIE Times
My attention ha sheen called to an
article in The Zines of Wednesday.
Jan. IL. headed, Senator Charges
Double Crossing" Permit me to
state I made no such statement I
did state to your reporter that I
received no support IN my race for
president pro tenn. OF the Senate
from either Mr. Dessert. the head of
the Khan, or from Mr.. Stephenson of
the anti-Klan; that I did not solicit
any and did not expect any. mas
much as neither Of these gentlemen
promised me support they could not
have double-crossed me.
The idea tried to convey to your
reporter and which / desire to make
clear il you will permit me is that
did not solicit, was not expecting
and did not receive directly or indi-
rectly any support from either the
Bossert or Stephenson Organization.
I did state. however, that the cause
of tho opposition OF Mr.. George ".
Coffin and Mr.. Clyde A. Walb was
due to the fact that 1 would not
agree to vote against the proposed
bill to prevent the dissertation of
Memorial day. Mr.. Schuyler A.

trict. did everything in his power
to elect me. and the idea that he
double-crossed me is absurd.

There is another thing he cannot

people should be butchered with
brutal indifference
To kill accidentally is tragic. To
leave the victim to the mercy OF the
elements and chance passersby is a
particularly revolving act of bru-
tally.
Yet that is what most drivers of
death cars do in this enlightened
State. To hide their identity is their
only concern. Whether the victim S
life is ebbing away from lack of at
tention, or has already fed, makes
no difference to them. Savagery
can not exhibit greater disregard for
human life.
If reckless drivers punishment
for causing death is a reprimand,
the penalty for not stopping after an
accident should be life imprison-
ment. The former is a civilized
crime-the latter barbarism.
