contents Let $χ$ be a real non-principal character modulo a prime $q$ and $L(s,χ)$ be the corresponding $L$-function. We prove that for any real number $s\geq 1$ there holds $$ -\frac{L'(s,χ)}{L(s,χ)}\leq c \log q,$$ where $c$ can be taken arbitrarily close to $1/4$ if we assume $q$ is sufficiently large depending upon it. As a consequence, for all large $q$, there are at least $q^{3/50}$ primes $p$ smaller than $q$ such that $χ(p)=-1$.
