Abstract
An acknowledged landmark of American public address, Theodore Roosevelt's “The Man with the Muck‐Rake” has long resisted adequate interpretation, largely because historians and rhetoricians have not resolved the apparent anomaly between Roosevelt's “conservative” remarks on journalism and his “progressive” proposals for economic reform. Examining Roosevelt's rhetorical intentions resolves the anomaly, reveals the thematic unity of the address and explains its meaning as rhetorical action.
