Theodore Roosevelt explains the meaning of his statement in a speech at Orchestra Hall that he would “bodily take” the Republican Party. In all states but Colorado, the Progressive Party took the Republican electors into their party. Meanwhile in Colorado, if Philip Battell Stewart wins a nomination, he will go on a ticket with the electors pledged to President Taft.
