Theodore and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt enjoyed Julius Chambers’s article in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle on Roosevelt’s speech. Theodore Roosevelt feels that the New York papers are hypocritical; they condemn him for criticizing Woodrow Wilson, but the same papers had no problem denouncing Roosevelt when he was president. Roosevelt notes that he never expected to be blindly supported or not criticized while he was president.
