Teddy Roosevelt: “Treat each man according to his worth as a man.”

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

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.

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