Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge protests Captain M. B. Stewart’s transfer from West Point to the Philippines. The transfer was in punishment for writing a letter to The Sun in opposition to an Army pay service bill that has the support of the Roosevelt administration and directly refuting a letter written in support of the bill by Captain Johnson Hagood. Lodge sees nothing inappropriate in Stewart’s actions and argues that punishing an officer for disagreeing publicly with the bill will only harm its chances of successful passage.
