Eugene G. Asher congratulates Theodore Roosevelt on his speedy recovery after being shot by a would-be assassin, and compares Roosevelt’s survival to several Bible stories that feature God protecting chosen figures. Asher says that Roosevelt is standing for and fighting for principles that immortalized such figures as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. He hopes that Roosevelt will completely recover and be able to give more speeches before the election next month, and that he will be victorious.
