Federal Anti-lynching law bills had been proposed over 200 times but never adopted. The first time an anti-lynching bill passed the House was on January 26, 1922. The Dyer bill passed the House 230-120, with 221 Republicans, 8 Democrats, and 1 Socialist voting for, while 17 Republicans and 103 Democrats voted against. 95% of Republicans, 47% of Northern Democrats, and 1% of Southern Democrats did voted for the measure, with Ben Johnson (D-Ky.) standing alone among them.
