A long public dispute unfolds over Storer’s confidential pamphlet and Roosevelt’s written responses. The president denies using influence to aid Archbishop Ireland's cardinalate, disputing Storer's conclusions and press quotes. Mrs Storer and Taft figures appear in the exchange with Vatican circles.
The president justifies dismissing Ambassador Storer by stating he must answer presidential letters or resign. He cites private correspondence with Mrs Storer, Archbishop Ireland and Treland, and notes he discussed with President McKinley and others. Storer resigned after criticizing government handling, while the Vatican visit incident ended with honors to Storer.
Storer cites Roosevelt era letters implying McKinley backed advancing Ireland’s cardinalate and Bishop O Gorman’s talks with the pope. A harshly worded letter from President Taft to Storer demanded action or his resignation ending his diplomatic career amid disputes over Ireland and papal approbation.
The president asserts he never contradicted himself between private conversations and written statements. He dismisses memoranda claimed by Mr and Mrs Storer as dishonorable and unproven while noting Mrs Storer pressed him on Philippine matters and pastor relations. A Corbett letter backs McKinley’s stance against Storer’s recollections.

President Roosevelt asked the Associated Press to state no hint of the Bellamy Storer pamphlet was released by the White House. He noted the ex-ambassador sent his open letter to cabinet members and many lawmakers, and that Storer intended the letter to reach print. Storer, shown the denial, replied with surprise and said he had nothing to say.
