On February 15, 1916, former U.S. Senator Elihu Root (1845-1937), delivered the keynote address to the New York Republican State convention in New York City. In his speech he sharply criticized President Wilson's policy of neutrality in World War I and added that Wilson was all threats and no action in regard to Germany's sinking of the Lusitania. A Rochester Herald editorial of February 17, compared Root's manner, methods, and motives with those of former President Roosevelt, an outspoken critic of Wilson's policies. It also criticized Root for sounding like a war monger instead of the man who in 1912, was honored with a Nobel Peace prize for his work toward world peace.
