Teddy Roosevelt: “Our country is governed and under existing circumstances can only be governed, under the party system.”

I am all right and you cannot escape listening to the speech either.

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 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.
