In this excerpt from a paper read at a recent meeting, George N. Tillman, a Southern Republican, comments on the personal popularity of President Roosevelt which helped him win re-election to the presidency, overcoming people’s concern that he might act rashly on various matters. Tillman then discusses the relations between the races, and asserts that Roosevelt surely does not intend that blacks and whites should intermingle socially, as he “is blue blood himself, with a Southern strain.” Tillman argues for uplift of blacks through education, without social interaction and intermarriage, which means the “ruin of both races.”
