President Roosevelt writes his son-in-law Representative Nicholas Longworth that Senator Foraker is doing all the damage he can with “negroes” and that the Democrats on the committee will take such an extreme position the “negroes” will realize where their “real friends are.” Roosevelt asks Longworth to write to Julius Fleischmann to invite the Fleischmanns to dinner on Roosevelt’s behalf.
