Social equality has nothing whatever to do with civil rights. It is a thing separate and apart. and therefore nothing to do with this question. The corner stone upon which the democratic institutions of this country are founded. the hope of all Americans. whether they be native born or naturalized. white or black. is based and exemplified in the general principle enunciated by President Roosevelt when he declared: I do not intend to appoint any unfit man to office. So far as I legitimately can I shall always endeavor to pay regard to the wishes and feelings of the people of each locality. but I can not consent to take the position that the deor of hope. the door of opportunity is to be shut upon any man. no matter how worthy. purely upon the grounts of race or color. Such an attitude would. according to my convictions. be fundamentally wrong.
