Anyone in Mississippi who
does rot agree with the Citi-
Zens' Council and their way
of doing things is villified
beyond measure. tagged as
integrationist whether true
or not, an about effort
made to make that person
feel that he Tor she) is a trail
tor to the South.
This simply is not true -
ard their saying it over and
over again does not make il
so.
1t is shameful and disgrace
full that such an attitude so
loudly proclaimed by some
Citizens Council members -
who are at best are only a
highly vocal minority-should
be successful in intimidating
or soaring irto silence the
vast mapority of MISSISSIPPI
plans, who are as fine a peo-
80 as can be found anv-
where in the world. They are
neither rabid racists or in
teorationists.
These Mississippians. have
lost their freedom just as
much as if the Communists
had come If. and taken over.
The result to the Individual
citizen is the same.
Governor Barnett himself
directly contributes to the
bad situation in our state by
espousing the Citizens Coun-
Gil line. that the "moderates''
are the weak spot. Actually
most Mississippians would be
classified as "moderates."
ut is time ir America to
separate the men from the
boys. identify the traitors in
our midst and take the cow
ards out from among u.s." is
what he told his Memphis
audience.
Does Governor Barnett
mean by this that everyone
who does not agree with him
and the CitizeEs' Council is
either a traitor or a coward
or both? And what does he
mean by saving: take the
towards out from among U.s."
Does this mean he advocates
lvnching. harging or electro
cution of all those who do
not go aloEg with him and
rhe Citizens Council!
This is not conservatism OF
any sort. It is about as radi-
cal as YOU can get. And Gov
ernor Barnett would do well
| to take a long look nov
where he is standing.
