Presidents--Press conferences

President Roosevelt encloses in a letter to Speaker Cannon a letter he wrote to a Quaker to clarify his attitude towards Quakers. Roosevelt also addresses a recent New York Sun article that criticized his involvement with the laboring class. Roosevelt elaborates that the doors of the White House will “swing open as easily to wageworkers as to capitalists” and that he strives to represent all citizens.

Rollo Ogden of The Evening Post declines President Roosevelt’s invitation to attend a conference in Washington, D.C., but relays that Roosevelt may communicate with Francis E. Leupp anything he wishes Ogden to know. Ogden asserts the need for the Republican Party to address African American disfranchisement, or the Democratic party may secure a majority in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College by impeding African American votes.
