Letter from Jeter Connelly Pritchard to Theodore Roosevelt
Click on image to zoom in
Senator Pritchard would like to speak with President Roosevelt about his efforts to promote the Republican Party in North Carolina. Pritchard believes he has built an effective Republican organization in North Carolina. He points out that some African Americans were denied admittance to the Greensboro Convention because they were not elected by qualified voters and were there to stir up trouble. He says that he is a Roosevelt supporter, but that he will resign from the National Committee if forced to appoint African Americans to prominent positions. Pritchard argues that these appointments would undermine Republican efforts at a time when more white voters supported the Republicans.
