I have the greatest popular majority and the greatest electoral majority ever given to a candidate for President.

The election results are really astounding, and I am overwhelmed by them.

Parker's personal attacks grew so outrageous that I felt it necessary to smash them.

I had no idea that there was such a tidal wave, and was prepared for defeat—that is, I thought that the chances favored my election, but that there was a good chance of my defeat, but I did not anticipate any great sweep.

I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I have done and have tried to do.

On the Fourth of March next I shall have served three and one-half years, and this three and one-half years constitutes my first term.

The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance and not the form.

I appreciate in the full the solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upon me, and I shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it.

I thank you for your congratulations.

Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination.

We have been enabled to do our duty to ourselves and to others.

We are thankful for all that has been done for us in the past, and we pray that in the future we may be strengthened in the unending struggle to do our duty fearlessly and honestly.

Never has there been a time when religious and charitable effort has been more evident.

Reward has waited upon honest effort.

Our success will mean much not only for ourselves, but for the future of all mankind;

I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested by section ten of said act of Congress, do hereby declare and make known that said lot one in block forty-eight of said Woodward Townsite is hereby…

I greet you with profound pleasure as representatives in a special sense of the great international movement for peace and good will among the nations of the earth.

At an early date I shall issue the call for the conference you request.
