Rollo Ogden of The Evening Post declines President Roosevelt’s invitation to attend a conference in Washington, D.C., but relays that Roosevelt may communicate with Francis E. Leupp anything he wishes Ogden to know. Ogden asserts the need for the Republican Party to address African American disfranchisement, or the Democratic party may secure a majority in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College by impeding African American votes.
