Lyman Abbott writes to President Roosevelt about Arthur P. Gorman’s campaign. The Democratic Party plans to “arouse the race prejudice in the South” in order to make the South go against Roosevelt. Abbott would like to send the most persuasive stump speakers into the southern states and have them prove that Roosevelt and the Republican Party stand for the principles of Abraham Lincoln.
