Shot in the chest, Bull Moose orates for 80 minutes. Wisconsin Oct. 15, 1912.
“I have a great deal to say,” insists Teddy Roosevelt after entering the presidential contest in February, “and I wont stand it for a moment” if “the discredited bosses and politicians decide against me”. Yesterday, just after a gunman’s bullet lodged in his chest, Roosevelt stood for 80 minutes to deliver the message of his Progressive “Bull Moose” Party. “Friends” he uttered, “I don't know whether you fully understand that I have been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose”.
