THEODORE ROOSEVELT IS DEAD
Ex-President Victim of Rheumatism Today |
Theodore Roosevelt, twice president of the United States, and one of the most forceful characters in America, died suddenly this morning at his home at Oyster Bay, New York, from inflammatory rheumatism. The death occurred, too late for publication in the morning newspapers and the meager dispatches obtainable have shocked the country.
Roosevelt was vice president under William McKinley and when the latter was assassinated by an anarchist, Roosevelt succeeded to his place. He was elected for the next term and has since been a powerful character in the politics of the country.
He wanted to lead an army to Europe when the war broke out but his offer was declined. His sons went overseas and it was only a short time ago that the death of one of his sons in the air service was announced.
The people of the country admired Roosevelt for the strength of his personality and for the vigorous way in which he treated all subjects. He explored Africa and South America, greatly aiding science by his discoveries. |
