More from Theodore Roosevelt
"I am as strong as a bull moose, and you can use me to the limit."
"I have always been a great believer in the power of public opinion."
"I have always been a strong advocate of the policy of 'a fair field and no favor.'"
"We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag of the anarchist."
"I have always been a man who has been interested in the welfare of the common man, and I have always been a man who has been interested in the welfare of the working man."
About Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)
26th US President (1901-1909), Progressive trust-buster, conservation pioneer, and the youngest person to assume the presidency (after McKinley's assassination). Closely associated with William Howard Taft (his hand-picked successor and later 1912 election rival) and Gifford Pinchot (his Forest Service chief and conservation co-architect). For an intellectual contrast, see J.P. Morgan, financier and architect of Northern Securities (1837-1913) — TR's 1902 antitrust suit against Morgan's Northern Securities railroad combination was the founding act of progressive antitrust enforcement. Their famous 1902 White House meeting — where Morgan reportedly said 'send your man to my man' and TR refused — is the canonical moment of presidential authority asserting over private financial power.
