President Roosevelt confides to Senator Beveridge that he does not care whether he or Elihu Root or John Hay get credit for the diplomatic achievements of his administration. Roosevelt believes that the organs of the press that are arrayed against him will credit his Secretaries of State and not him, and he stresses that it is of no consequence to him as long as the desired results are achieved.
