Feb 23, 1912
I absolutely agree with you that this matter is not one to be decided with any reference to the personal preferences or interests of any man, but purely from the standpoint of the interests of the people as a whole.
Feb 23, 1912
Therefore I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express their preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican Presidential Convention.
Feb 23, 1912
I will accept the nomination for President if it is tendered to me, and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference.
