Teddy Roosevelt: “A man who fails to show such regard for his fellow stamps himself as being unfit to do his duty in American life.”

The American people by a great plurality have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift.

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.

I congratulate you thereon.
