President Roosevelt examines various social premises in American society that are inherently unequal for African Americans. Roosevelt calls on white Americans to seek out the good in neighbors, regardless of race, and with the goal of improving life and prosperity for all Americans. Roosevelt believes that skin color detrimentally impacts the black population’s ability to live free without the threat of violence, achieve a good education, and acquire a good paying job. The mob mentality that adversely targets African Americans must be rooted out. In relation to capital and labor, Roosevelt again criticizes the mob mentality that excites violent class hatred against the wealthy. It is not in America’s interest to elect anyone whose platform is built on “violence and hypocrisy.”

Senator Burdick from North Dakota prefaces and reprints an article by Steve Schmidt, originally published in the Bismarck Tribune, in the “Senate” section of the Congressional Record. The article argues for the change in designation of Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and also a change from the park’s classification as “historical” to “natural.” Both Burdick’s preface and Schmidt’s article provide “background leading to the introduction of S. 1609,” Burdick’s congressional bill to make the site a full-fledged national park, which would ultimately occur in 1978.
