Pleased to Meet the Ladies.
Roosevelt was never in better form
than at these two meetings. He was
admittedly glad of the opportunity
which placed him in Denver at the
same time that the Hughes women
campaigners arrived here, for he had
previously expressed a desire to meet
the Hughes women's special to join
with them in their efforts for the Re

campaigners was the heckling which
greeted him at the start of his speech

Mexico to our own great revolution
which gave US liberty"
"Hurrah for Wilson Anyhow"
"Hurrah for Wilson, anyway
