Joseph Fromberg letter, 1948.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51806986

Carbon typescript letter, dated August 10, 1948. Fromberg gives a lengthy history of himself and his position in the state. He then defends Judge J. Waties Waring for his recent decision to open up the Democratic Primary to African Americans, noting that he may not agree with Waring but defends his right to interpret the law. Fromberg objects to suggestions for actions made by Dorn, saying that such methods will undermine and destroy the government; he links Dorn to bigots and raises the issue of the Holocaust, showing the results of hate and intolerance. Fromberg briefly describes the recent chaotic Democratic Executive Committee meeting in Columbia and with a religious ending, calls on Dorn to desist from his "foolish, puerile, and useless course."
