Dear Miss Brannon:
l have seen you only once,
that being at the State Democratic

and want to compliment on your
good paper. What I am writing to
say is that I do not think by any
stretch of law can what you did at
Lexington be held to be contempt
of Court. / presume you are not go
ing to submit and recognize this
holding of Judge Davis as lawful. |
think he acted very much unlike
a Judge. To hold people in contempt
for doing what you did would thro-
tile freedom and justice instead OF
promoting it.
I am sure you do not need my
services, but they are available free
gratis for nothing just for the ask
ing"

which recently took place and which
was reported in the Commercial
Appeal on October 29th. l cannot
e how any member of the judicial
branch of our government can afford
to make such a statement as was
made by Judge Davis in the course
of the trial. His statement that ut
is futile to try to clean up Holmes
County" and other remarks should
not 60 unchallanged.
If every one felt that way
about moral reforms the whole CO.
untry would soon be wrecked.
/ wish to commend you
heartily for any effort you are max
ing toward greater respect for law
and order and | wish you every
uccess in your laudable under
taking.
In this connection I am mail
ing to you under separate cover a
copy of my monthly magazine, in

along the same line in which you
are laboring. / would like to get a
sample copy of your paper.
With my best wishes,

My Dear Miss Brannon:

a only be regarded as an effort to

Major Frederick Sullens,
Editor Jackson Daily News.
Jackson, Mississippi
Dear Major Sullens.
| want to express my hearty
approval Of your editorial in the
Jackson Daily News of October 20,
entitled " An Outrageous Sentence"
Such an attitude displayed by
a Judge of THE bench cannot do
other than to breed contempt-not
for the bench-but for the person
who occupies it. Whenever a judge
shows, not only contempt, but such
judicial intolerance for crusaders
against crime, and exercises his
assumed judicial prerogatives to in
timidate such agencies for righteous
living, the logical conclusion is that
he has surrendered to the forces of
crime and enlisted in their crusade
against the laws Of the land, and
dedicated the judicial powers he
possesses or assumes to the promot-
ion of their cause.
Processing to admire" the
''spunk" of Miss Brannon, the judge
attributes to her something which
he does not possess-"spunk." Dou-
Biting her Judgment" is of little
importance coming as it does from
a man whose Judgment" in the in
slant case is contemplate.
If Judge Davis chooses to be-
come a stooge for the racketeers,
that is his business. But when he
attempts to use the high office which
he occupies to bluff, bulldoze, init
midate and even penalize agencies of
good citizenship who have the moral
courage to fight for what is guaran-
teed to the people by the laws of
the land, then he holds in contempt
not only Miss Brannon, but all the
lawabiding, peace-loving citizens of
his district.
Your friend
