Former Alabama Governor B. B. Comer explains his quotation of Theodore Roosevelt. While Comer thought Roosevelt’s quotation applied to Judge Thomas Goode Jones in its criticism, he did not mean to commit Roosevelt to this application of his words. Comer has always used Roosevelt’s name with discretion, and made his reference sincerely, even though he acknowledges Roosevelt may not agree with how he applied it.
