"This is a receipt for one dollar contributed to the campaign fund of the Progressive Party" "And, friends, with all my heart and soul, with every particle of high purpose that there is in me, I pledge you my word to do everything I can, to put every particle of courage, of common sense, and of strength that I have at your disposal, and to endeavor, so far as strength is given me, to life up to the obligations you have put upon me, and to endeavor to carry out in the interests of our whole people the policies to which you have today solemnly dedicated yourselves to the millions of men and women for whom you speak. Theodore Roosevelt." "Enlisting as I have in that contest for humanity that desired governmentally to make men better rather than to make men richer. There is no question, of course but that of necessity I must accept any place where I may be drafted and that I accept such a place as you have accorded me in the Nation's history today--Because again you are making history in this land-- that I accept it with grateful heart and with the utmost singleness of purpose to carry out as well as I may the little that may be my part to do. Hiram W. Johnson"
