 Tell us the damn water and it's not gonna make I'm gonna handle that myself and if I'm here to elect it These delegates not gonna hurt us or hurt me or hurt Georgia hurt Mississippi The freedom party is not being seated. What's happening is we're doing four or five things number one We coming in there and seat in the state of Mississippi Every damn one of them now they ought to be Carl. They ought to we can't you and I just can't survive Our political modern life with these goddamn fellas down there that that I eat them for breakfast every morning They got quit that and they got to let them vote and they got to let them shave and they got to got to let them Eat and things like that and they don't do it and however much we love Jim Eastland and John Stennis They get a governor like Ross Barnett and he he's missing around there with Wallace and he won't let one man go in a precinct convention Now that's we've got to put a stop to that because that's just like the old days I got when they when they wouldn't let them go in cast a vote of any kind and you've put a stop to it in your state But we're gonna ignore that we're gonna say hell. Yes, you did it. You're wrong You violated the 57 law and you violated the 60 law and you violated 64 law We're gonna seat you every damn one of you you lily white babies. We're gonna salute you Mississippi regular delegation will give you assurance that if they are seated with these other two they will walk out Well, you you go over you go over they think we think I don't know I'm not there and I haven't taken anybody else's calls I don't you didn't let anybody know where they even talked there because I'm doing my best to avoid it and I'm turn them down. I don't want to don't want them to say that I'm calling in there But they tell me that These folks that will take the old come in there, but there'll be over half of them for Mississippi do it I don't know whether they will or not. I haven't talked to them But I talked to maybe you and John could sit down and talk to them and say to them that they're gonna they win their fight number one They've been challenged. They got no credentials. They haven't been seated credentials committee comes out there tonight said number one We seat the state of Mississippi and everybody takes ill. That's number one number two We're gonna pass resolution take care of this thing in the future the number three We're going to say that two people Symbolic here can be taking as as general delegates Having nothing to do with Mississippi depriving Mississippi nothing and try to put an end to this thing now Everybody Just let the whole goddamn convention rise at one time and say I want everybody to repeat after me I'm a Democrat. I'm gonna support the nominees and work for the Democratic Party in November Everybody stand and repeat it in Houston and have the whole down hold and everybody does it and that's the damn That was certainly fine. I would love to do it anything I can do to get harm and in friend I sure do want to do it cuz I And You and John you get a John and y'all suggest that both of you young and modern and effective And I'm a poor old man here that's got a government polling on me in Vietnam today. I just walked out of the Security Council I've got McNamara coming in here at 6 o'clock tonight and bringing general Taylor back I've got Cypress and a hell of a war and I can't I can't go up there and tell those damn fellas argue with Adam Clayton Powell and Martin Luther King and the fellow from Alabama a bull corner They ought to try to make it as easy on me as they can because they've all been in these things their own state conventions They got problem. They're gonna have them now. This doesn't hurt anybody and I'm for everybody to take me old talk Nobody claims they won't do it except Mississippi, Alabama Well, just tell them every national commitment's taken from every state speaking for his state All right Everyone up have already done it, but I don't reject. I'd come up there myself walk out naked and take it if it would ease bull corners pressure any Uh, but do you and John get together and try to talk to this of this group and It's just going to take us 10 minutes to get this thing through and these men never participate in anything Never vote anything never have any votes. Hell, I'd give them 20 votes to rather than Cost me two million on this television like you've done the last two days But you see what they're doing tonight, I've got a list of his calls He's he's going to speak at the california delegation He's gonna speak at the washington delegation. He's trying to speak at the conduct your delegation And each day he's just adding to it and causing us trouble He's getting on the television saying that I got he's threatening us that he's not gonna stand up and vote for us Now we got a poll coming out tomorrow. What is the poll show? Just can get out of that convention and hold it Johnson's political stock up since stand on vietnam for a release not earlier than wednesday august 26 public support for Way us handling situation is shot up One important reason for johnson's improved position of political races stand on vietnam and he goes ahead and writes all about it and quotes everybody and So for then it takes them NBC is releasing a poll tonight roper's new figures minority negro 97 jewish 86 catholic 73 union people 76 women 68 These figures beat anything ever in the history including fdr Well, if you don't have a bunch of these leaders going on television who is heroes telling him that He can sit it out. That's what he's telling me yesterday I know that I know that but I I'm not throwing miss it out. I'm giving them heaven damn vote to god every single That's president yeah Thank you for letting me go. All right. Thank you. You help john. Won't you? All right. Mr. President. Hi, johnny Oh done the best well, uh carl is pretty well giving you uh his reaction on experiences that as you know to some extent it's mine or uh Unfortunately, it's don russell's from south carolina. It's albertus harrison's in virginia. They just left you to follow him out of what legal Really justification they're going to have it Mississippi if george wallis didn't come up here and lead out to alabama Mississippi doesn't join them. Uh, I think everybody would stay at the convention. Although, I think uh Don russell particularly say he's a nice boy. He's going to support you Uh, albertus harrison said the same things and i'm far the bird John, I'll take any formula god. I didn't raise this one They raised it. They told me walter called me and told me that everybody thought in there y'all's leaders this morning They'd work out now. I'll take anything at any other work out anywhere to keep from showing her ass I just Nigger nigger nigger and I've got so much of it that I wrote out a statement this morning that That would have solved it, but uh, I just uh, I'm just harassed to death and I don't know about don russell and uh Harrison and I don't just don't know how to get them I told her walter this morning I said get john in with that group and see that they try to reach some agreement on something Well, they tell me they did I said, okay now riles raised now. He's not going to take it It means nothing it doesn't it's Mississippi seated. She gets every damn boat. She's entitled to she ought to be seated She wouldn't let those niggers vote and that's not right But she's being seated got every single one of her delegates seated and now she says well I'm going to be a goddamn dog in the manger the rest of convention can't even have two other people in here Now we uh, we do that all time you come up here and I see you And say john you come over here and stay with me and you say yeah, that's all right But I'm gonna let you have coffee with another fella And that's not right those people were refused admission. They were qualified. They're entirely go So we say we won't take them off of miss sepis miss sepis got her right. She wins her case her people are seated But if it won't work, it won't work. We'll just have to try something else. I to me it's a lot less objectionable and calling the roll and on this other thing and I I just hate to Be offensive to to Divide this party and they told me last night it'd be love them hundred and nine hundred And I looked at it now We got a good many love them hundreds are not going to be with us. I can tell you that I just know they're not going to be there when it sticks and it looks like to me This doesn't cost anybody anything. I just I just to be honest with you. I just can't understand it Yes, it is and I don't know why that I don't know why the south would want to be associated with miss sepis and deal I guess it won't let a man come vote got two federal laws on the subject in a few statements I couldn't understand it. We're seating them. We're giving them their seats every damn boat and there's going to be no vote anyway All we're doing is taking Elman from Oregon off of this 13 minority group and getting him to take two three more off So they can't get a minority report now. That's all and we bribe them with our money It does not with their money. They keep every damn thing they got so I don't know why they care Let me ask you something else I want a completely different subject. I talked to Bob Anderson He thinks and I think The John Lowe would be an excellent man to hit up The citizen group in new york. I understand the two objections first. He's a wall street banker No, I'll tell you what son. He's I've talked about Anderson. I guess 45 times minimum And john lobe I called him all sunday and I've talked to him twice And they have together got about nine names There they just have never got off of that ground I've sent jim roe up there. I sent tommy cork in the barracks and everybody could up there And finally couldn't get anything else done. I called secretary treasurer and said back out I want you to get after him go get Sydney Weinberg get him in here So is it dead john lobe got up and they got to fighting about which one is going to do what? I told bob Anderson Please get all the folks in one room and let them elect the man they want Well, because the two jews don't get along john lobe wants it but he won't do anything So our people very honestly say that they're afraid bob's playing this like he did walters race kind of both sides He's talking to umprey and talking to eisenhower every day But he doesn't want to get on the committee himself and get out in front because he can do more in the background But when you go to add in the people he got nine from over the united states and in two months now First he couldn't do it on counter bobby kennedy Then he couldn't do it because some other reason I can't I called john lobe and talked to him last sunday and then called him after he got off his yacht Called him back there told him to get with sydney lineberg john Well, bob anishin the whole outfit all of them getting a room up there and elect whoever they want and get an executive secretary When they get through they're going to have about 21 members and probably 21 votes if they go vote And they may raise a hundred so thousand dollars but uh bob anishin calls here every day and the first paragraph is called john lobe and the next paragraph is how about this appointment that one and I've got to come to the conclusion that bob Doesn't keep put those folks together if he does he can't put many of them because he's been there now for all this time since Since before san francisco and he hadn't got organized yet And john lobe was always going to be the ringleader and call him in but he didn't get anybody He's going to get off the flaming in argan and stuff like that, but never does get him What I wish you'd do it carl said that he would go and help you now and I think it y'all might be able Uh, I don't know rile may be this we got to be careful not to bring it out if he does but uh He all may be able to get to south to understand that Here's the first question. Is miss sepia freedom delegation seated or miss sepia delegation seated? Number one miss sepia regulars are seated. That's number one. Whatever downvote the god number two we pass resolution so that Uh, takes care of the future. We're going to use uh, this is a criteria in the future But you can't discriminate against people That's down the road for years. I doesn't hurt anybody. Y'all don't discriminate now. Georgia doesn't discriminate now Number three you take the oath take the pledge sport Not a thing wrong with that. Number four, that's all so get rid of miss sepia Then we'll go on and talk about something else for five minutes. Then we'll bring up another resolution That because of the protests on housing on education on transportation Democratic party's always been a party where you could lie to protest We'll recognize these two people are symbols here and there'll be no votes We have to call no roads, but we'll just stop the fighting and stop the roll call now the primary things to get all of them off of it Because he's one of 13 and he takes two more and they can't get a minority report So you don't divide the convention 1100 and 900 and if we should be on the short end of the stick And the negro's ran the white folks out. It'd be a hell of a lot worse than two men sitting over in the corner Now rouse down protesting now He won't take it and he's going to come out there and try to but if we can while the iron's hot without losing the south We're going to lose south. Well try to get some of the formula And you all work it out, but water was of the opinion that That this didn't hurt them and that you thought they'd go along Well you You work on it and if there's anybody else I can do don't quote me Don't say you talked to me. Don't let them know what I'm doing if you can avoid it Because this is the only call I've taken I don't want to And you do anything in the world you can and let me know
