Alfred Miles Beatty reports that the South is not pleased with the Taft administration. Furthermore, African Americans are prominent in the southern Republican Party and this limits the support of white Southerners. Beatty believes that a third party would be welcomed. He concludes with a description of southern agriculture and the opposition to foreign immigration.
