Teddy Roosevelt: “At any rate, give Alaska some person whose business it shall be to speak with authority on her behalf to the Congress.”

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

I congratulate you thereon.

I am absorbed in the success of that movement.
