"But when I say that I am for the square deal, I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service.

In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
