Teddy Roosevelt: “By the President of the United States of America, A Proclamation”

The American people by a great plurality have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift.

I don’t know anything about who the man was who shot me to-night.

I want every labor man, every labor leader, every organized union man, to take the lead in denouncing crime or violence.

I am all right and you cannot escape listening to the speech either.
