Letters addressed by Edward M. Shepard to the Evening post on the Negro suffrage question, August 26 and September 25, 1903

Shepard, a prominent northern Democrat, comments on African American suffrage and legal status in the South. He faults the Republican Party and Administration for abandoning African Americans but does not favor Congressional action to address African American concerns. The exchange of letters and editorials reproduced here present various points of view about what to do about the "Negro problem," especially as it relates to political parties.
