Commentary on Theodore Roosevelt’s southern platform
An article titled “The President’s Original Southern Platform” asserts that southerners should pay attention to a letter that Herman Henry Kohlsaat wrote in response to Reverend W. W. Landrum. Landrum asserted that “the negro question” is a purely religious problem in the South, and Kohlsaat relays conversations he had with President Roosevelt where Roosevelt said that he intended to appoint Democrats in the South when he could not find appropriate Republicans in positions. The writer of the article notes that the South asks Roosevelt to keep African Americans out of public office in the South. The newspaper page includes the letters from both Kohlsaat and Landrum.
