Rodey, Bernard Shandon, 1856-1927

Bernard Shandon Rodey comments on the recent New York elections. He believes Theodore Roosevelt is the “ablest man of modern times of any country.” He argues that people did not vote against Roosevelt and that the Republican loss would have been greater had he not joined the campaign. Instead, they voted against the corruption of the Republican Party, which reflects the will of selfish men working through party machinery and not that of the rank and file.
