First off, they could not get enough votes from officials against lynching.

Also, they did not want to lose the support from those who supported. IF these people turned on the government, then future progressive legislation would be much harder to pass.

You can compare it to Lincoln's decision to not pass anti-slavery laws during that era. He did not want to lose the support of the southern officials.
