[Letter to the Editor, Abilene Reporter-News by T. N. Carswell - April 24, 1956]

A letter addressed to Editor, Abilene Reporter-News, from T. N. Carswell, dated April 24, 1956. Letter to the Editor written by Carswell in which he denounces a front page editorial that appeared in the paper as "unworthy of a paper of the past reputation and standing of the Abilene Reporter". Carswell rejects the writer's appeal to the people of Abilene to "support Lyndon Johnson, and repudiate Governor Shivers, upon the grounds that the Senior Senator from Texas has done and can do more for the Abilene pocketbook—who promises the most in the way of material benefits" expressing his disbelief that the people of Abilene will "barter the high privileges and obligations of their citizenship for a mess of potage".
