[Letter from T. N. Carswell to Peter Molyneaux - August 14, 1951]

A letter written to Mr. Peter Molyneaux, The Dallas News, from T. N. Carswell, dated August 14, 1951. Carswell states that he is "actionably interested" in Molyneaux's articles about the democratic party and the south advising that "no effort can be too costly which has as its objective the restoration of the democratic party to the control of those whose political philosophy is fashioned along the lines of those who founded the party". He continues blasting the current problematic politicians stating, "the nation not less than the democratic party will be served when the Humphrey, CIO, anti-South leadership has been eliminated from the party". The way to attain such an end, starting in Texas, is to control the Precinct Conventions. He asks Molyneaux if he will suggest a statement of priniciples or resolutions suitable to be adopted at the conventions. Carswell then discourses on the term CIVIL RIGHTS hoping that they find other appropriate terminology "to propound our opposition to the bastard civil rights proposals of Humphrey and his cohorts".
