Letter from Albert Shaw to Theodore Roosevelt

Albert Shaw advises Theodore Roosevelt to ignore the plank involving the race question. Since the situation will not allow Roosevelt to “take a strong, aggressive, positive stand in favor of a reduction of Southern seats in Congress,” Shaw believes that “it would be better to let the subject pass as a very minor one.” Shaw sends Roosevelt a marked copy of the Contemporary Review.
