Teddy Roosevelt: “We wish to do away with the profit that comes from the illegitimate exercise of cunning and craft.”

I congratulate you thereon.

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

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 don’t know anything about who the man was who shot me to-night.
