Richard Madden

If you are the greatest, why would you go around talking about it?

Henry L. Stimson

I can’t talk about myself that way. Whatever I did before was just in line with my work. I can’t be saying I, I, I all the time.

Stimson had been a key member of the Theodore Roosevelt national administration, and Roosevelt, before he became Vice President and then President had been a very popular governor of NY. Stimson, although a brilliant administrator, and statesman was a bit stuffy and aloof and was a terrible campaigner. He thought it immodest to refer to himself in public or to talk about his record. So the Republicans tried to tie him to Roosevelt who was still very popular. See {589268}. It was not enough. Stimson lost.
