"If you capture the negro vote

"If you go catering to the negro

q white party in the north"
He said the south was willing to
let the north "do as it pleascS
about the race problem, but just
as in the 1S60's when the Repub-

cleft up in the air" Bailey said.
He referred to a statement on
states rights made by President
Roosevelt in 1880 and added that
"no man who made that state
ment could support this bill with
out a lot Of explanation"
Charging that the south was
the mainstay of the Democratic
party, he warned that catering"
to the negro vote would result in
the election "to office common
fellows of the baser sort"
"Our government" he shouted,
"is going to be a government of

Meanwhile several senators
threatened to produce a barTage
of amendments to make the bill
distasteful to northern opposition.
One, which Senator Richard B..
Russell, Jr., D., Ga, said he had
under consideration, would make
the anti-lynch bill penalties apply
to gang murders.
'If we are going to have the
federal government invade the
rights of states, we should not
confine the federal law enforce
ment to one type of crime but
should provide for federal action
generally" he said.
Russell contended that the bill
as originally drawn would create
an "open season" for underworld
murders throughout the nation,

McKellar, said he would intro

It was pointed out, however,
that even should the amendment
be adopted, the penalties would
apply to these types OF XII Killings
only when it was proven that the
deaths resulted from negligence
on the part of peace officers.
The bill provides that prosecu-
