Teddy Roosevelt: “The cause of free government throughout this land would be shaken to its foundation if we fail here.”

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

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.

Don’t you pity me. I am all right.

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