Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President. Executive Mansion, Washington,D.
Sir:
As Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Colored Democratic League, it is, with much regret that I inform you that Bishop Alexander Walters, President of the Organization, having been elected senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Church at a recent conference held in Louisville, Kentucky, informs me that he will be unable to take an active part in the approaching campaign, owing to the exacting duties of his church work.
At his request I have assumed the duties incumbent upon the head of the Organization, and wish to pledge you in so far as my power lies, unqualified support in your election, and will endeavor to make the Organization an effective force to this end.
Very truly, yours, Jas H. W. Howard
