Abstract
"President McKinley died while in the zenith of his fame and has therefore assured to him a most conspicuous place in history. The manner of his death as well as the long service that he has rendered his country in the highest stations will assure him of this. While not a preeminently great man as compared with others who where his predecessors in office, he was nevertheless endowed with many splendid qualities of heart and mind that make for greatness and for the fullest measure of success in whatever he undertook."
"Thomas Roosevelt at the age of 42 is now president of the United States. He is younger by five years than any other man who has been called to the White House. His youth, however, is not a valid objection. It is the fact that he is of a peculiar and unusual makeup, in fact an unknown quantity, that causes apprehension among a certain class of people."
