Text

Mr. President

self supporting in all campaigns since 1886we believe in the principles of lincoln and jeffersonWe congratulate you for your splendid Inaugural Address. It is teeming with expressions of justice and equal rights for each and every citizen. It expresses the ideals of equal rights as conceived by the founders of our Government. Being representatives of that class of American citizens who are habitually controlled by the forms and practices of the slavery of the past, we rejoice in your grand expressions of equal rights for every citizen. We assure you, Mr. President, of our activity and help in aiding you to make those nobel sentiments of justice delivered by you on March 4th, 1913, a practical realization among the citizens of our great and grand country. No citizens are more patriotic and no citizens are more true and loyal to the stars and stripes than those we represent and we will always be willing and ready with whatever power we possess to uphold the equal rights of the citizens so well announced by you.
We thank you, Mr. President, for this interview and we hope that your administration will go down in history as one of the best in the United States of America.

Joseph H. Stewart
