Telegram from Booker T. Washington to Emmett J. Scott
Booker T. Washington reports what he knows about a certain person and his political convictions. He notes that the party voted for John M. Palmer and Simon Bolivar Buckner of the National Democratic Party in 1896, but entered the Democratic primaries in 1900 to help defeat the nomination of William Jennings Bryan. Washington suggests their friends be advised to appoint a Montgomery man to represent the “best class of white people” and to appoint William Demos Crum as internal revenue collector for South Carolina, representing the “best class of colored.”
