Missive #507 Published 4 June 2025

This is an eclectic set of speeches given in 1899 and 1900. Roosevelt was at that time governor of NYS, about to become the Vice President under McKinley — and of course subsequently president sooner than anyone expected.…The speeches seem to be boilerplate political stump speeches for the most part. A lot of repetition in what he has to say to the different audiences. Not what I was expecting and not recommended.
