President Roosevelt thanks Davis S. Barry for writing the editorial. He agrees with Barry’s assessment that the people accusing him of trying to coerce southern Senators to vote for the Santo Domingo treaty would be accusing him of courting southern votes if he were running for re-election. In reality, Roosevelt had announced his trip through the South before the Santo Domingo treaty was created, and it had nothing to do with politics.
