Senator Beveridge satirically describes to President Roosevelt the scene after Senator Joseph Benson Foraker was unusually “nervy” in response to Roosevelt’s address, most likely at the Gridiron Club Dinner at the New Willard Hotel. Beveridge points to the irony in journalist David Graham Phillips’s and Senator William Lorimer’s attack on his own comments about Foraker.
