October 15, 1912
THE ALLENTOWN MORNING CALL, Pennsylvania,, Oct. 15, 1912
* President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
* Attempted assassination attempt by shooting
* Campaigning event for the presidency
The top of the front page has a three column headline: "ROOSEVELT SHOT BY CRANK AND SLIGHTLY INJURED" with subheads and photo. (see images) Ironic this happened in Milwaukee, the location of the 2024 Republican Convention with President Donald J. Trump.
Sixteen pages, light toning with some wear at the margins, should be handled with care. Nice for display.
wikipedia notes: On October 14, 1912, former saloonkeeper John Schrank attempted to assassinate former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt while he was campaigning for the presidency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Schrank's bullet lodged in Roosevelt's chest after penetrating Roosevelt's steel eyeglass case and passing through a 50 page thick (single-folded) copy of his speech titled "Progressive Cause Greater Than Any Individual", which he was carrying in his jacket pocket.
