I have no idea if you are correct or Steve is correct on the question of Elihu Root's influence on McKinley's Philippines decision, but it shouldn't surprise anyone if Root did make that decision. He seems to be present or had input at every transformative event this country engaged in early in the century.

He was chairman of The National Security League, helped draft the Constitution of the League of Nations, was a member of the Advisory Committee of the Court of International Justice at the Hague, was Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Endowment, from which position he instructed Robert Bacon on how to conduct his mission of Latin-American Cooperation in 1913. That mission was the template on how we would conduct our affairs for the rest of the century.

What I know of this individual is gleaned from Men and Policies by Elihu Root. A more in depth study would reveal much more I'm sure.
