Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt
Attorney General Bonaparte updates President Roosevelt on the political and electoral situation in Maryland, where he believes that William H. Taft will win by a slim majority. In some districts and counties, the Congressional candidates may outperform Taft, while in others, the reverse may be true. Of particular concern is the possibility that illiterate African Americans may inadvertently spoil ballots which have deliberately been made confusing.
