Theodore Roosevelt does not believe the Progressive Party should speak out much immediately after their poor showing in the election. The public is tired of politics and wants to see what the victors will do. In a year, the public might be more receptive and the party can reaffirm their principles and dedication to the Progressive platform. Roosevelt no longer considers Amos Pinchot or George L. Record a Progressive. He wants them treated with courtesy, but they are attempting to damage the party.
