Roosevelt agrees that there is a growing sentiment for the changes that he himself has been advocating for, but points out that some will still stand against him. He advocates encouraging the growth of this sentiment, instead of fighting openly against those who are against him. Roosevelt also comments on the support of German-Americans and criticizes President Wilson’s actions and character.
