Teddy Roosevelt: “I feel we owe a peculiar debt of gratitude to those who have taken the lead in securing this building.”

I wish to say that the Progressive Party is making its appeal to all our fellow citizens without any regard to their creed or to their birthplace.

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

I am not sick at all. I am all right.

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.
