Corinne Roosevelt Robinson

“ We need the Republican party in office during the hard days to come, when there must be the [up-building] and rebuilding of our nation. We need preparedness for days of peace and against the always possible dangers of war. Shall we choose again the party which blindly turns from the right, and in so doing, dragged down the prestige of America and brought on our nation unbearable criticism and deplorable confusion? ”

“ Fellow citizens, we are at the turning of the ways. Theodore Roosevelt said in October, 1916, "I demand at this election that each citizen shall think of America first." Who now does not regret that the country did not respond to that demand? Let us, the Republican party, again make this demand. ”

“ I am one who believes that the Republican party and the Democratic party have different ideas. And I believe that the issues of the two parties are not as blurred and as indistinguishable as is sometimes said to be the case. The Republican party is the party of concrete nationalism, as opposed to the hazy internationalism of the Democratic party. The Republican party preached preparedness. ”
