More from Teddy Roosevelt
I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested... do proclaim that the said lands are hereby added to the Apache National Forest.
I speak of the men of the past partly that they may be honored by our praise of them, but more that they may serve as examples for the future.
No man is worth his salt in public life who makes on the stump a pledge which he does not keep after election; and, if he makes such a pledge and does not keep it, hunt him out of public life.
Therefore I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express their preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican Presidential Convention.
