Roosevelt (LOC)

T.R. [Theodore Roosevelt] receiving congratulations (LOC)

  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    Theodoore Roosevelt... but congratulations for what? During the 1912 Republican presidential primary? After splitting from Republicans and creating the Progressive Party? After surviving a bullet wound and delivering a ninety minute speech?

    If you would like to learn about what a racist (real meaning of the word), xenophobic bastard that Teddy Roosevelt was, read THE IMPERIAL CRUISE by James Bradley. It will make your blood absolutely BOIL to learn about how this single jerk set the curve for the Second World War in the Pacific, the Communist Revolution in China and the wars in Korea and Vietnam. Not to mention how we slaughtered Filipinos and others under his presidencies. A must read for all Americans. After reading this amazing book, I think that his image should be blasted off of Mount Rushmore.

    Looks like Oscar Straus, the politician, as in other photos in this series, (not "G. Staus" as in title.). Amb. Straus was the Bull Moose Party candidate for governor of New York in 1912. Also in the picture is Lucien L. Bonheur, Chairman of the Nassau County Committee of the Progressive Party (Bull Moose).
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for the information about Straus and Bonheur. We'll add the changes to the source data and reload the description.
  • Wystan said:
    This was a reception for Bull Moose gubernatorial candidate Oscar Straus and Mrs. Straus, at Bourke Cockran's residence in Port Washington, Long Island, on September 28, 1912, to kick off the Bull Moose (Progressive Party) campaign in Nassau County. New York Times story on the Lawn Fete for Oscar Straus, September 29, 1912: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F04EFD9113AE6... Other Bain/LOC photos of the Lawn Fete for Oscar Straus:
  • Wystan said:
    LOC: Mr. Cockran's name is misspelled in your title and in Bain's as well.
  • Greg said:
    Wystan Bain misspelled Cockran's name in all the related photos. We're sorting it out.
