[Letter from T. N. Carswell to Governor Allan Shivers - August 27, 1952]

A letter written to Governor Allan Shivers, Austin, Texas, from T. N. Carswell, dated August 27, 1952. Carswell gives his views as to the present political situation and suggests, if it is legally possible, that he would like to see two (2) sets of Electors on the Democratic ballot; one set agreeable to the National Democratic Nominees, and the other set "for the tidelands" (Eisenhower-Nixon). Carswell states that he would like to vote a straight Democratic ticket but "if I must, in order to repudiate a high handed steal openly accomplished and thinly veiled in legality by a spurious dictum - Paramount Rights - spawned for the purpose by a "Charlie McCarthy" minority of the United States Supreme Court —I shall mark out the electors on the Democratic ballot and vote for the Electors on the Republican ballot".
