Teddy Roosevelt: “The thing that counts, of course, is the character of the average citizen, and that is what gives me my supreme faith in…”

Don’t you pity me. I am all right.

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 wish to say that the Progressive Party is making its appeal to all our fellow citizens without any regard to their creed or to their birthplace.

I congratulate you thereon.
