Teddy Roosevelt: “I am very glad to have the pleasure of seeing you and saying a word of greeting to you.”

The American people by a great plurality have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift.

I want every labor man, every labor leader, every organized union man, to take the lead in denouncing crime or violence.

I am absorbed in the success of that movement.
