Telegram from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert Bacon

President Roosevelt asks Acting Secretary of State Bacon if Mulai Abd al-Aziz IV, Sultan of Morocco could extradite Paul O. Stensland, who could then be taken into custody. Anticipating potential international complications, Roosevelt feels it best he be transported on a returning Army or Navy ship. Roosevelt regards Stensland as “one of the most obnoxious type of criminals” and will take any necessary measures to bring him to justice.

Speech of Theodore Roosevelt at Dexter Pavilion, Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Wednesday evening, September 26, 1917

Theodore Roosevelt praises the Armed Forces and veterans of the Civil War. He also praises Father Edward Vattmann and other speakers of the evening as proud examples of loyal Americans with German ancestry. He calls for all of the various ethnic groups in America to come together under one language and one flag and condemns pacifists and anti-war politicians like Senator Robert M. La Follette. Roosevelt says all able-bodied men should join the fight and that America needs to be better prepared for war in the future.
