Theodore Roosevelt acknowledges receipt of letters returned to him by John Callan O’Laughlin. The letters are ones Roosevelt previously wrote to O’Laughlin, responding to questions about the William Lorimer case. Roosevelt does not believe the letters should be published because they contain his personal opinions and his report of what various Senators thought, and they were sent to O’Laughlin confidentially. Roosevelt, however, is willing to speak to the Committee if they would like to ask about his actions regarding the Lorimer case.

Comments and Context

Less than five months before this cartoon was published, Vice President Garret A. Hobart died in office. Especially given President McKinley’s popularity, the speculation about his running mate, later that year, was rife. Of the “chicks” depicted by cartoonist Louis Dalrymple and viewed approvingly by McKinley is, most prominently, Theodore Roosevelt.  He was then Governor of New York and a popular war hero and famed as a cowboy, drawn with a Western hat. Interestingly, other Vice Presidential possibilities seen here were also New Yorkers: former Governor Frank S. Black, Secretary of War Elihu Root, Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff; and former Secretary of Interior Cornelius N. Bliss. Roosevelt’s friend Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is pictured, as is Indiana Senator Albert Jeremiah Beveridge, later a strong ally of Roosevelt in the Progressive party campaign.

Theodore Roosevelt asks Reverend Ferdinand Cowle Iglehart to communicate with Albert J. Beveridge on a matter.

Theodore Roosevelt asks John Callan O’Laughlin to return letters or copies of letters Roosevelt wrote to O’Laughlin. Roosevelt believes private and confidential letters between him and O’Laughlin should not be published. Roosevelt does not object to his personal opinions about William Lorimer or Albert J. Beveridge being made public, but not what he said “as to the attitude of other men about [them].” What Roosevelt said to Elihu Root and Henry Cabot Lodge ought to be obtained from Root and Lodge, not from O’Laughlin. Roosevelt is greatly interested in the presidential nominations and O’Laughlin’s views “as to the outcome of [Roosevelt’s] position.” Roosevelt is amused by John T. McCutcheon’s cartoon.

Theodore Roosevelt understands that Viscount Bryce meant well but believes that Bryce’s letter has damaged the cause of the allies by further muddling American public opinion on the war. Pacifists like Bryce cannot be depended upon in an emergency. Roosevelt’s efforts on behalf of the allies will be greatly hampered by Bryce’s statements. People who argue against military readiness or clamor for peace are strengthening the side that supports German brutality.
