Judge Jones forwards a newspaper clipping to President Roosevelt and describes a common sentiment he has encountered in the South that Roosevelt is “the enemy of the South and a disturber of the peace” because of his stance on “negro” voting. Jones suggests that Roosevelt find someone to write an editorial to run in Southern newspapers to counter this opinion.
