Teddy Roosevelt: “I wish you well at all times and in every way, and I bid you good luck and good night.”

I don’t know anything about who the man was who shot me to-night.

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.

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.
