| Additional Information | Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was the 26th President of the United States, from 1901 to 1909. He began the 1901-1905 term as Vice-President to William McKinley but rose to the presidency on March 4, 1901 when the latter was assassinated. Roosevelt then ran for president for a second term and won the election of 1904. This button promoted him as a candidate during that campaign and is an example of a rebus, an allusional device that uses pictures or images to represent words or parts of words, in this case a rose. |
