"The pioneer days have gone, but the need for the old pioneer virtues remains as great as ever."

"It is not too much to say that no man since Lincoln was as widely and as universally beloved in this country as was President McKinley."

"I thank you for coming here and for giving me the privilege of joining with you today in these solemn ceremonies of commemoration."

"I guess you do not wonder that I am fond of the men of my regiment."
