Saturday…..Dec 10, 1904
December 10, 1904
Summary
President Theodore Roosevelt delivers a speech to congress, “being virtually a resume of the personal platform upon which he has elected.”
Transcription
President Roosevelt’s Message to the Congress of the United States is lengthy and exhaustive. It is not calculated to elicit criticism or condemnation from his enemies, being virtually a resume of the personal platform upon which he has elected. He makes no reference to the South whatever and the colored brother does not come into attention or comment. It is an able, manly document and has been apparently favorably received by all elements.
It is to be expected that his message next Fall, following as it will his inauguration, may be more strenuous and deal with many issues which are found wanting in the present voluminous document.
