Teddy Roosevelt: “I will do all in my power for the laboring man except to do what is wrong; and I will not do that for him or for any one…”

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 am not sick at all. I am all right.

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

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