Pritchard, Jeter Connelly, 1857-1921

Theodore Roosevelt reminds Jeter Connelly Pritchard that he believes in, admires, and trusts Pritchard. Roosevelt addresses the points Pritchard made in his letter, beginning with how northern Republicans treat southern Republicans. Roosevelt says William H. Taft has been poorly advised on almost every point. Roosevelt does not want the nomination, and though he will not refuse if he is nominated, he will cross that bridge when he comes to it.

President Roosevelt will take no action in the matter Judge Pritchard wrote him about, and notes that the letter from John Lowndes McLaurin to Pritchard is “pretty wild.” Roosevelt says that any suspicion that he intended to create a new white party would have made his trip through the South a failure. He thinks McLaurin should understand that it is “useless” to try and get him to accept a third term as president.
