Many thanks for this. I'd heard of it but have never been able to find a copy.

Speaking of which, does anyone know where to find the actual text of the Sullivan act?

Tom:

Re your last, concerning the text of the Sullivan Law, the original version going back to 1911, I would suggest, and this is only a suggestion, digging through The New York State Code or the Sate Criminal Code or what ever exactly they might call it. Possibly archives. Good luck. I assume that you read the Mencken piece.
