More from Teddy Roosevelt
The American people by a great plurality have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift.
I absolutely agree with you that this matter is not one to be decided with any reference to the personal preferences or interests of any man, but purely from the standpoint of the interests of the people as a whole.
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.
