[Theodore Roosevelt by Theodore Roosevelt]@TWC D-Link bookTheodore Roosevelt CHAPTER XV 74/96
I cordially wish him success, and I shall cordially support any policy of his that I believe to be in the interests of the people of the United States.
But when Mr.Wilson, after being elected President, within the first fortnight after he has been inaugurated into that high office, permits himself to be betrayed into a public misstatement of what I have said, and what I stand for, then he forces me to correct his statements. Mr.Wilson opens his article by saying that the Progressive "doctrine is that monopoly is inevitable, and that the only course open to the people of the United States is to submit to it." This statement is without one particle of foundation in fact.
I challenge him to point out a sentence in the Progressive platform or in any speech of mine which bears him out.
I can point him out any number which flatly contradict him.
We have never made any such statement as he alleges about monopolies.
