The “Roosevelt Corollary” (1904)
“…in the Western
Hemisphere, adherence of the

Doctrine may force the

impotence, to the exercise of
an international police
power.” --Theodore Roosevelt, Dec. 1904

![Page 40: 23 From Roosevelt to Wilson in the Age of Progressivismprofbutler.watermelon-kid.com/media/PPTs/PDFs/23 From Roosevelt to... · 23 From Roosevelt to Wilson in the Age of Progressivism](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022711/5c00a4be09d3f279018b7499/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
TR advocated regulation of big business and
an inheritance (death) tax on the wealthy.
The conservatives in his party opposed him.
“Our purpose should be…to regulate big
corporations…so as to help legitimate
business as an incident to thoroughly and
completely safeguarding the interest of the
people as a whole...including producers,
consumers, and wage-workers.”
“Against all such increase of Government
regulation the argument is raised [by
Conservatives] that it would amount to a
form of Socialism.”
--Theodore Roosevelt, Autobiography

still president.

In 1910, at Osawatomie, Kansas, TR
revealed the components of what he called
the “New Nationalism.”
“In every wise struggle for human
betterment, one of the main objects, and
often the only object, has been to achieve
in large measure equality of opportunity.”
“I stand 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.”

TR was supported by many leading
Socialists, including Jane Addams,
who gave a speech at the convention.
“I second the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt because he is one of the few men
in our public life who has been responsive
to the social appeal and who has caught
the significance of the modern movement.” --Jane Addams, Progressive Party Convention, 1912
