Teddy Roosevelt: “He stood for heroic valor, grim energy, fierce fidelity to high ideals.”

I congratulate you thereon.

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.

I am absorbed in the success of that movement.

Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.
