In a highlighted article titled “The President and the Negro,” Albert Shaw expresses his concern that President Roosevelt has neglected to hire a fair amount of negro federal officials: “President Roosevelt has made about eighty appointments of federal office holders in the State of North Carolina, of whom only one has been a negro.” The exception has been William Demos Crum, who was up for confirmation as collector of the port at Charleston. Crum’s confirmation was challenged by two Senators who attempted to adopt regulations that would prevent him from serving in the post.
