Francis E. Leupp asks President Roosevelt to carefully consider his position on the Charleston case. To change his course at this point would risk Roosevelt’s policy toward African Americans while failing to earn him any support among Southern whites. After the emphasis Roosevelt gave that was published in newspapers, to change course would weaken Roosevelt’s standing in Leupp’s opinion.
