Roosevelt spoke in St. Louis this day while still seeking to unseat his handpicked successor during the Republican primaries. Aiming to push the party towards a progressive place he uttered a memorable quote when stating "Whenever there is tyranny by the majority I shall certainly fight it. But the tyrannies from which we have been suffering in this country have, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, been tyrannies by a minority; that is, tyranny by privilege." It was also this day Roosevelt issued the GOP an ultimatum, that if they didn't nominate him he'd run as an independent. Wayne Otchis Collection.
