President Roosevelt tells Outlook editor Lyman Abbott that “William Dudley Foulke is as good an Outlook man as I am,” and that Foulke was struck by Abbott’s editorial about Roosevelt’s “muck-rake speech.” Roosevelt believes that the Outlook is working for the same goals he is, and was therefore disappointed in the article because “it was hammering just at the moment when it ought to have helped.”
