Two articles from the New York Age discuss political meetings and resolutions by various African American societies and meetings. The first reports on a visit of New York Age editor Timothy Thomas Fortune to San Francisco, where he spoke about the need for political unity among African Americans, and praised President Roosevelt’s statesmanship. The second reports on a meeting of the Union League Republican Club of Detroit, which upholds its support of President Roosevelt after he wrote a letter condemning those who opposed his nomination of the African American William Demos Crum for Customs Collector in Charleston, South Carolina. The club also speaks against the “lily white” Republicans and the invitation of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman to speak in Detroit.
