I thank you for your congratulations.

Never has there been a time when religious and charitable effort has been more evident.

We have been enabled to do our duty to ourselves and to others.

Reward has waited upon honest effort.

Our success will mean much not only for ourselves, but for the future of all mankind;

We are thankful for all that has been done for us in the past, and we pray that in the future we may be strengthened in the unending struggle to do our duty fearlessly and honestly.

I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested by section ten of said act of Congress, do hereby declare and make known that said lot one in block forty-eight of said Woodward Townsite is hereby…

I thank you for very kind allusions to what the Government of the United States has accomplished for the policies you have at heart.

At an early date I shall issue the call for the conference you request.

I greet you with profound pleasure as representatives in a special sense of the great international movement for peace and good will among the nations of the earth.

Nothing worth having comes to those who do not or are not willing to make an effort to get it.

I wish to greet you with all my heart here at the national capital.

Nothing in this world comes to people who will not work.

We have already shown in actual fact that our policy is to do fair and equal justice to all men.

Our performance in the past, our proved governmental efficiency, is a guarantee as to our promises for the future.

The problems with which we have to deal in our modern industrial and social life are manifold.

We know our own minds and we have kept of the same mind for a sufficient length of time to give to our policy coherence and sanity.

We make our appeal in a wholly different spirit.

Our steady growth in power has gone hand in hand with a strengthening disposition to use this power with strict regard for the rights of others and for the cause of international justice and good will.

We do not have to propose to 'turn the rascals out', for we have shown in very deed that whenever by diligent investigation a public official can be found who has betrayed his trust he will be punished to the full extent of the law.

To the best of my ability I have kept the promise thus made.

I am deeply sensible of the honor conferred upon me by the representatives of the Republican party assembled in convention, and I accept the nomination for the Presidency with solemn realization of the obligations I assume.

A party is of worth only in so far as it promotes the national interest.

We have placed the finances of the nation upon a sound gold basis.

Prosperity has come at home.
