Letter from Charles Frederick Tucker to John Ellis Roosevelt
Charles Frederick Tucker writes to John Ellis Roosevelt, enclosing a letter from Mr. Ogden of San Antonio, and suggests that Ogden represent Roosevelt at the stakeholders meeting of the Laredo Bridge Company. Tucker has met many Democrats who plan to vote for President Roosevelt in November despite his being a Republican. Tucker also expresses his opinion that if it were not for the “negro question” President Roosevelt would have many followers in the South. Tucker’s impression is that Southern whites greatly resent efforts towards racial equality and that “nothing good for the negro” will come from Federal efforts to promote racial equality.
