James Kimble Vardaman takes issue with Ray Stannard Baker’s recent article on “The Negro in Politics” in American Magazine. Baker “pretends” to quote Vardaman, Benjamin R. Tillman, Jeff Davis, and Hoke Smith, but has not correctly quoted anything they have said. Based on a conversation he had with Baker when he was governor, Vardaman believes that “the stupid little scribbler” is not interested in finding out the truth, but in “giving the educated negro’s side of the question.”
