In 1912, in the year that Bessie Gelfand was born, in October, former President Theodore Roosevelt was shot, but not killed, while campaigning for another term as President with the newly created Bull Moose (Progressive) Party. John Schrank was a Bavarian-born saloon-keeper from New York who had been stalking Roosevelt when he shot him just before a campaign speech.

After 8 days in the hospital, Roosevelt went back on the campaign trail.
