Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt wants to move forward on the friars issue because the Catholic population and most of the Catholic authorities are against the friars. Roosevelt also supports Governor Taft’s plans regarding schools in the Philippines. Taft has been previously considered for appointment to the Supreme Court and Roosevelt would like to have him appointed because he believes that Taft can do more good in the Supreme Court than as governor of the Philippines.
