Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Herbert Parsons

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Herbert Parsons

President Roosevelt strongly objects to the proposal to add a plan to the platform which would reduce Southern representation based on its suppression of the African American vote. Men like Booker T. Washington agree that no good can come of this, and that agitators who are stirred up by the Brownsville affair are doing harm to the cause. He believes that Joseph Benson Foraker’s goal is “simply to scuttle the ship” and damage the Republican party as much as he can.

Milholland, and that Reverdy is “a thoroughly bad man.” Anderson thinks Booker T. Washington shares his view of the situation.
