Francis Bennett Williams refutes Armand Romain’s criticisms of the Republican Party in Louisiana. Williams writes that Romain’s faction do not always support Republican candidates. He says Romain is angry because he was not appointed to a government job that he wanted and believes it was because he was a Major in a colored regiment. Williams returns Romain’s letter, written to President Roosevelt in November 1904, and encloses a letter Romain wrote to him in 1903.
