Teddy Roosevelt
ANY of the dominant figures in the Republican party were rather afraid of Teddy Roosevelt’s growing popularity and of his audacity. That was why they put him up to be Vice-President, hoping to steer him permanently out of the Presidency itself. When the assassin’s bullet took the life of McKinley the party leaders-the Old Guard, as they were called-found that their hopes of heading Roosevelt off were frustrated. One of them spoke of him as "that wild man," and complained bitterly: "Look, that damned cowboy is President of the United States." Anyway, cowboy or no
a cowboy, Theodore Roosevelt pretty soon turned out to be one of the great Pre-
sidents of American history. —
