Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Jeter Connelly Pritchard

Subject(s): Letters, McLaurin, John Lowndes, 1860-1934, Presidents--Term of office

President Roosevelt will take no action in the matter Judge Pritchard wrote him about, and notes that the letter from John Lowndes McLaurin to Pritchard is “pretty wild.” Roosevelt says that any suspicion that he intended to create a new white party would have made his trip through the South a failure. He thinks McLaurin should understand that it is “useless” to try and get him to accept a third term as president.
