Representative Parsons does not think Charles William Anderson can be a delegate to the National Convention, as the “colored vote” is not big enough to warrant it. Many people want to go as delegates and it is difficult to find opportunities for everybody, especially providing for men supporting Charles Evans Hughes. Parsons asks William Loeb to ask Booker T. Washington what his source is that tells him that there will be other black delegates at the convention.
