Salute to Minnesota

By Joe Wiegand, Medora’s TR


4/4/2020  


"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." During his
brief tenure as Vice-President, while speaking at the Minnesota
State Fair in St. Paul, Labor Day, 1901, TR first quoted the old
African proverb so closely associated with his own presidential
administration. During his Presidency, TR would declare the
Chippewa and Superior National Forests in Minnesota.


On April 4, 1903, on his great tour of the west, TR spoke before
the Minnesota Legislature in St. Paul and to an audience at the
University Chapel at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.


In 1912, Minnesota was one of six states carried by the Bull
Moose Progressive.
