Teddy Roosevelt: “I challenge as a right, the support of every citizen of this country, whatever his color, provided only he has in him…”

I am not sick at all. I am all right.

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.

The fate of the leader for the time being is of little consequence, but the cause itself must in the end triumph, for its triumph is essential to the well-being of the American people.
