Theodore Roosevelt appreciates Mr. Hempstead’s devotion but he will not alter his position on the war or military readiness. If readiness is unpopular, it is imperative that Roosevelt work harder to show Americans the dangers of being unprepared and wake them up to the country’s needs. He understands that his recent political positions make him an unacceptable candidate. Roosevelt is not seeking to do what is easy or popular but to safeguard the nation and convince citizens to act as Americans and nothing else.

Theodore Roosevelt agrees with Gifford Pinchot’s attitude on the war and discusses press coverage of the conflict. President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan have placed the country in a poor position and the United States is held in contempt by the “big fighting nations.” Viscount Bryce’s article supporting the attitude of Wilson and Bryan has increased the country’s difficulties. Foreign affairs are dominating American politics and Roosevelt does not believe that the Progressive Party can run another campaign. Their only recent success has been in California but overall there are too few Progressives to maintain an effective national organization.
