Col. Roosevelt’s enemies agreed
with his friend that his life, Lis cha
racter and his writings represented
a high type of Americanism,
Of Dutch ancestry, born in New
York City on October 27, 1858, in a
house in Kast Twentieth Street, the
baby Theodore was a weakling. He
was one of four children who came
to Theodore and Martha Bullm-h
Roosevelt. The mother was of South

'mphasized by something which took

in general—of these evils he purged
the city in tha face of corrupt politi
cal opposition, and the reputation he
established as a reformer won him
the personal selection by Presidem
ycKinley as Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, in 1897. A year later the
Spanish American War broke out.
The Roosevelt temperament did not
allow the man to retain a deputy Ca
hinet position with war offering some
thing more exciting, Leonard Wood,
now a Major General in France was
then President MceKinley's physician
and ons of Roosevelt's staunchest
friends.
The famous Rough Rider were or
ganized by Wood and Roosevelt—a
band of fighting men the mention of
whose name today suggests immedia
tely the word “Roosevelt.” They came
out of the west-—plainsmen, minors,
rough and ready fightors’ who were
natural marksmen, and Weod hecame
their Colonel and “Teddy” as he came
familiarly called by the public, their
Lieutenant Colongl. In company with
the regulars of the Army they took
transports to Cuba, landed at- Santi
ago and were soon engaged in the
thick of battle, Among the promo
tions which this hardy regiment's
gallantry brought ahout were those
of Wood to Brigadier-General and
Roosevelt to Colonel-—and this title
™eodore Roosevelt cherished until
the end. Some of the Rough Riders
formed the military escort when he
was elected President a few years
later.
When Cuba had been liberated,
Rosevelt returned to New York. A
gubernatorial campaign was in swing
with the Republican Party in need of
i capable candidate. Roosevelt was
nominated. Van Wyck, his l)emm:m
tic opponent, was defected. The re
forms Roosevelt had favored as As
semblyman he now had the oppor
tunity to consummato, together with
others of more importance, and it was
during this Administration that he is
said first to have earned the hostility
of corporations. When the Republican
national convention was held in Phi
ladelpliia in 1900 his party in New
York State demanded and attained his
nomination for Vico President on the
ticket with William McKinley. In Nov
cmber of that year this ticket was
clected,

endeavored to carry out after he suc

It was thus that “the man ol des

life, Ostensibly, Roosevelt, leaving
¢ Governorship of New York to be
come Vice President, was moving for
card from State politics into national
tics, so his political opponents
professed publicly to believe: but it
was their secret desire to “shelve”
e man and climinate him from pro
minece in their own community it
was said, that prompted these politi
cal toes to obtain for him the Vice
Presidential nomination, which be per
conally did not desire.

I At the height of his public and poli
tical career, during the four years of
i the term for which he had been elect

ments which historians will rank high
in the internationsl and industrial
progress at the country. They includ
