Charles M. Harvey believes that President Roosevelt will win the 1904 Republican nomination but questions Roosevelt’s southern policy regarding African Americans. Harvey thinks that the tendency for African Americans to identify with one party is a mistake and damages their political clout. Harvey also defends Reed Smoot against charges of polygamy.
