Theodore Roosevelt states that his position was that unless men came out for him, presumably in the 1912 Republican nomination, it would be necessary to nominate a third party ticket. Roosevelt states that there are states that are exceptions, such as Wisconsin, Kansas, California, and South Dakota, but that Illinois was not such a state.
