Schrank was immediately disarmed and captured; he might have been lynched had Roosevelt not shouted for Schrank to remain unharmed. Roosevelt assured the crowd he was all right, then ordered police to take charge of Schrank and to make sure no violence was done to him.

That is a leader!

Both President Taft and Democratic nominee Wilson suspended their campaigning until Roosevelt recovered and resumed his own.
