And Leave Town Immediately

AT STATE CONVENTION

Jackson, Miss, June 2.-(DSN)
The Perry Howard Republican
organization Of Mississippi, which
lost the right to have the names of
its Presidential Electors appear on
the state ballots in the coming cleo
ton by ruling of the State Su-
preme Court last week has also
been ordered to close is headquar-
ters and leave town.
The order to close its headquar-
tiers, which also ordered the state
secretary in charge of the office
to leave town came last Saturday
in an anonymous letter found
pushed through the bottom crack
at the door of the headquarters on
North Parish Street.
The Sttae Secretary, C. T. But
Ter of Meridian, found the crudcly
written letter on the floor in a pink
envelope addressed to him as he
entered the headquarters Saturday
morning.
The letter said "Close up this
office and leave town at once"
Mr.. Butler told the Jackson Adj
vOcate that after finding the let
ter he made inquiries among ether
tenants of the building regarding
their seeing any strangers lurking
around the door. After receiving
negative replies from these sources
he said he concluded that the latter
had been put under the door some
time during the night.
The secretary said also that he
had shown the letter and reported
the matter to local police authorl-
ties and said that despite the
threat the headquarters would be
kept open and that the Howard or
ganiZation would continue to act
IN the best interest of the National
party.
Meanwhile increasing activity
and wrangling has been noted on
the part of the state Lily White
Republican group since they won
