In 1903, Theodore Roosevelt planned a tour of the mid-West and
Western states. It was dubbed the “Great Loop Tour,” being
careful not to call it a campaign tour, although he intended to
seek re-election the following year. Theodore was adamant that his
speeches be devoid of any partisan rhetoric, nor would he meet
solely with Republican office holders in the various cities and
towns he planned to visit. He would happily shake hands with a
Democratic mayor or Senator just as he would a Republican.
Theodore’s speeches, which he wrote himself, covered subjects of
good citizenship, a square deal for every man, a strong navy, and
the positive aspects of the recent irrigation bill he signed into
law. Then there were his speeches relating to conservation of the
land, forests, rivers, and wildlife. Nowhere did these subjects
become more important to him than when he visited Yellowstone, the
Grand Canyon and Yosemite. While he was still three years away from
having the law that would knight him as the “Conservation
President,” Theodore was already making his mark on preserving
the country’s resources.
