More from Teddy Roosevelt
I want every labor man, every labor leader, every organized union man, to take the lead in denouncing crime or violence.
Character must show itself in the man's performance both of the duty he owes himself and of the duty he owes the State.
One of the chief principles for which I have stood, and for which I now stand, and which I have always endeavored and always shall endeavor to reduce to action, is the genuine rule of the people.
Therefore I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express their preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican Presidential Convention.
