A. M. Stevenson expresses concern that the Republican party and the administration of President Roosevelt are losing ground because of the atrocities in the Philippines that have been published in the daily papers. Stevenson fears that the party will lose the fall elections if the Republicans in Congress keep letting the Democrats have their way on this issue. He wants the Republicans to fight back and defend the American military’s actions in the Philippines. He then reminds Roosevelt of the Sand Creek Indian massacre, in which women and children were killed, and notes that Senator Teller (D-CO) was one of the principal backers of Colonel John Chivington, who led the Colorado militia in that fight.
