President Roosevelt thanks Representative Longworth for his report on the prospects of Secretary of War Taft’s nomination for the presidency in 1908. In Roosevelt’s opinion Senator Foraker is only damaging relations with African Americans, though after the congressional report is released African Americans will realize that Democrats are not their friends. Roosevelt agrees to see Jackson Smith, Julius Fleischmann, and Fleischmann’s brother.
