Theodore Roosevelt
These international bankers and Rockefeller Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government.
Theodore Roosevelt
We draw the line against misconduct, not against wealth.
Theodore Roosevelt
Practical efficiency is common, and lofty idealism not uncommon it is the combination which is necessary, and the combination is rare
Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt
