If the Democratic National convention inserts an anti-poll tax plank in its platform Sen. Theo G. Bilbo "will take a walk" in the November Presidential election, he assured Robert M. Kelly, Vicksburg, in a letter on Tuesday.
Bilbo, who favors a fourth term for President Roosevelt, said the state Democratic convention should have named the state's seven congressmen to the national convention at Chicago.
None of Mississippi's congressmen was named to the convention. Bilbo and Sen. James Eastland will each cast a half vote in the coming national meet.
