HARDING, Warren G. Document signed ("Warren G. Harding"), n.d. Excerpts from Memorial Address on Theodore Roosevelt, Delivered by the Honorable Warren G. Harding, January 29, 1919. 1 page, 4to, on White House stationery.
AN ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO TEDDY ROOSEVELT. "Perhaps his greatest work apart from his appealing Americanism, and yet a vital part of it, was his crusade for a new order of things, a new conscience in the Republic....He did four years of arousing and uprooting. His far-seeing vision detected a dangerous drift. He cried out for governmental assertion of authority, lest government itself should be the governed. In his zest he was the radical, as all crusaders are, but....he was really less the radical than he oftimes appeared, and sometimes spoke radically against his own judgment."
