Click on image to zoom in
Theodore Roosevelt does not want to “fight out” anything with Julian LaRose Harris but wants to discuss matters with him. He acknowledges his position of ease and Harris’s difficulty. When Roosevelt speaks of lynching, he is careful to attack Northerners, not Southerners. The response to Harris’s article makes Roosevelt indignant. He commends Harris for his “most valiant work.”
