Teddy Roosevelt: “I wish to greet you with all my heart here at the national capital.”

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.

Don’t you pity me. I am all right.

I congratulate you thereon.

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.
