Erving Winslow criticizes President Roosevelt by asking how people who disapprove of the party platform are supposed to effectively dissent. Winslow believes that Roosevelt has inaccurately labeled dissenters as “cowards and weaklings” and asks how they are supposed to disapprove otherwise, other than foment a revolution. Winslow also criticizes Roosevelt’s depreciation of the anti-imperialists. He refers to a statement by Secretary of War William H. Taft, crediting the criticism of anti-imperialist opponents for whatever good was to be found in the administration in the Philippines.
