Marshal Johnson reports that while there was some disorder at the Georgia Republican State Convention, it was not as bad as was represented. Johnson was more disturbed by the “large number of ignorant and impecunious delegates.” Johnson states most of the delegates were people of color. Johnson found the conditions at the convention unpleasant but worked to ensure that the delegates were instructed for President Roosevelt. Johnson expects Roosevelt’s nomination and election.
