More from Teddy Roosevelt
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.
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.
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.
