On This Date in Minnesota History: September 2

September 2, 1901 – On this date, “one of the most significant dates in the Minnesota State Fair's history, then-Vice President Theodore Roosevelt was visiting and first uttered the famous phrase, ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick.’ Roosevelt became president just 12 days later after William McKinley was assassinated.”
