James Sullivan Clarkson encloses documents from the “malcontents in Boston” regarding the anti-Booker T. Washington feud. Clarkson met with Washington and he described the situation in Boston as “pretty bad.” The Guardian, an African American newspaper, and its supporters are likely acting in the interest of the Democratic Party. Clarkson does not believe that Republicans need to worry about the “color question” being an issue next year.
