From the Paper:

"What was demonstrated by Roosevelt here is that his military charisma made Wilson look as though he were not strong enough to lead the nation into war. In other words, the nation was ready to fight and Roosevelt represented a more true relation with the desires of the common man. The sub attacks by the Germans were considered as cowardly and barbaric which infuriated American citizens."
