President Roosevelt has had meetings with journalists looking to expose public graft and corruption, but has become frustrated with them because of their “unbridled license and unfair denunciation” of many people in public office which has failed to have any merit. Roosevelt is expected to speak out against these sorts of accusations at his Decoration Day speech to the Army and Navy Union at Norfolk, Virginia. The author expects Roosevelt to speak regarding his own belief that most people are honest, and to challenge the writers who have attacked people in public office, despite the fact that his own administration has not been the target of these journalists.
