Teddy Roosevelt: “It was founded not by individual Americans, but by the United States of America.”

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

I congratulate you thereon.

Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.
