stepped to the telephone and call
ed my office and asked what cor
respondence we had received from
colored people regarding either
of these bills, and was told that
the bulk of our correspondence
favored the Gavagan Bill. I there
fore voted to table the Mitchell
Bill with the idea of considering
the Gavagan Bill.
On reading the Gavagan Bill
and being assured by lawyers,
such as Judge Leavy, of the State
of Washington, who like myself,
wanted to have legislation pro-
tecting all citizens from such a
terrible injustice and crime as
lynching, that without doubt this
bill, if enacted into law, would be
regarded by the courts as uncon-
stitutional. Other eminent law
yers said the same thing, and so it
seemed to me. I had, then, to
make up my mind whether would
vote for bill that was uncon-
stitutional as means Of showing
my colored friends how I felt
toward them, or vote consistently
as my judgment dictated.
I believe Congress has no right
to vote laws which are certainly
unconstitutional, purely for the
political effect Of currying favor
with a part of, their constituency
in order to gain votes. At least I
am unwilling to do that sort of
thing. When I am outright in
my criticism of the highest Court
of the land for multiplying acts of
Congress-, 7 must, to be fair and
consistent, assume the obligation
of voting for constitutional bills
only that the Court need not
knock them out. In thus voting
against the Gavagan Bill, I was
expressing no attitude of indiffer-
ence toward colored people, and
I trust that my colored friends
who know me best will recognize
the sincerity in this statement.
