Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary defends Roosevelt’s rebuttal of statements made by Senator Boies Penrose and John D. Archbold. Such rebuttal does not indicate, as W. B. Winslow implies, an “inward admission that there may be something in what the other fellow is saying.” Rather, it is a necessary correction to false statements being made about Roosevelt. While Winslow asserts that no one believes Roosevelt has done anything wrong, Roosevelt’s secretary disagrees and asserts the importance of Roosevelt making himself understood.
