Letter from E. J. Hutchinson to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from E. J. Hutchinson to Theodore Roosevelt

E. J. Hutchinson writes to Vice President Roosevelt about a recent article in the Boston Herald. The article reported on a speech by Daniel Henry Chamberlain, as well as remarks by Charles S. Hamlin and Charles Eliot Norton, that criticized the government’s colonial policy, particularly with regard to the Spanish American war. Hutchinson is concerned because these charges come from such eminent people, and says that their statements need a public response.
