Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(10 pp) Progressives were a loosely knit group of
activists, who occasionally even seemed opposed to
each other. According to Schulz (2000), while not
opposed to capitalism as a concept they did want
to change the relationship of labor to business.
Immigration was viewed as a 'problem.' Some felt
the solution was the 'Americanization' of
immigrants; others felt immigration should be
restricted by legislation. Private utilities and
transportation methods should have some
regulations; others felt the government should
straighten out 'the whole mess.' Political reform
was a necessity. Could it be done, by eliminating
the 'political machine,' or were there other
solutions? We might say that during this time the
country was beginning to 're-think' itself, and
looked for a leader who could either provide
answers or guidance. Teddy Roosevelt was just the
guy for the job!

Bob Katz (2001) relates, that in his autobiography, William Allen White, a newspaper editor, from Kansas, writes of meeting the young Roosevelt for lunch: "..and we sat there for
an hour after lunch and talked our jaws loose about everything. I had never known such a man as he, and never shall again. He overcame me. And in the
hour or two we spent that day at lunch, and in a walk down F Street, he poured into my heart such visions, such ideals, such hopes, such a new
attitude toward life and patriotism and the meaning of things, as I had never dreamed men had. ...so strong was this young Roosevelt--hard-muscled, hard-voiced even when the voice cracked in
falsetto, with hard, wriggling jaw muscles, and snapping teeth, even when he cackled in raucous glee, so completely did the personality of this man overcome me that I made no
protest and accepted his dictum as my creed." While campaigning around the country for other politicians, Roosevelt developed a passionate, fist-pounding style that delighted and entertained those listening. The
