Roosevelt's Estimate of Denton
Raymond Robins: On my return from the mission to Russia, whither I was sent by President Wilson, I made a brief visit to T.R. at Oyster Bay.  At night, as we were sitting around the fire place, he was inquiring about a number of his old friends, and among them you.  In the course of his talk he spoke feelingly of you, and stated that he placed you among three or four newspapermen of the country whom he loved and absolutely trusted.

Judson Harmon: I shall never forget the loyalty and ability you gave to my campaign for the presidential nomination in 1912.

Joseph L. Bristow: It is gratifying to learn of your signal success on the lecture platform.

Leslie M. Shaw: I hear only good expressions about your lectures.  In common with all the others of your innumerable friends, I rejoice at your success.

William Jennings Bryan: I often recall with pleasure the days when you accompanied me in my campaigns for the Presidency.

Joseph Benson Foraker: While we have differed politically, nevertheless I have always prized your friendship.

Denton's Wealth of Experience
As editor, publicist, Washington correspondent, war correspondent, bel esprit, lecturer and raconteur, Hal P. Denton enjoys a reputation which is coextensive with the boundaries of the nation.

A native of Ohio, he entered newspaper work as a writer of state and national politics on the old Cleveland Herald, then owned by Mark Hanna, and the Cleveland World.  Going to New York in the early nineties, he joined the staff of Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, later was an editor of the New York Press, and still later became connected with William Randolph Hearst, who recently had purchased the Morning Journal, now the American.

From New York he was sent to Washington, where for many years he was a well-known political writer.  When Butcher Weyler, Spanish governor general of Cuba, was at the zenith of his brutalities, Hearst singled out Denton to represent his newspapers on the island.  This work included the exciting times before and after the blowing up of the battleship Maine and the deliberations of the court of inquiry.  He was among the last to leave the island with Consul General Fitzhugh Lee at the beginning of the Spanish-American war.

In 1912, from Washington and at the Baltimore convention, Denton directed the publicity of Governor Judson Harmon's pre-convention campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, and later in the year, at the urgent personal solicitation of his old friend Theodore Roosevelt, became his publicity counsellor.

In 1899, he was chief of publicity and promotion for the National Export Exposition in Philadelphia, and as such made it a tremendous financial success.  As a correspondent he was with Professor Samuel Langley when the latter made the first flight of the Langley flying machine, and he accompanied Li Hung Chang, the Chinese stateman, and Prince Henry, the kaiser's brother and head of the German imperial navy, on their American tours.

In various campaigns Denton traveled with McKinley, Cleveland, Roosevelt, Taft, Bryan, Adlai Sephenson, Hiram Johnson and other distinguished Americans, and shared their confidence.  He also has been editorial writer on such journals as the Philadelphia Public Ledger, Philadelphia Record, Pittsburgh Post, Savannah Morning News, Tampa Morning Tribune and Chicago Inter Ocean.

For a number of years he was chief of staff of the Washington Evening Star, of which his old friend, Frank Noyes, president of the Associated Press, is principal owner.  During the war congress of 1898 he was solicited by the manager of the Associated Press to represent that great news gathering organization on the floor of the United States Senate.  For years he has been an associate editor of the National Cyclopedia of American Biography.

He also was with President McKinley, then governor of Ohio, when the latter went into bankruptcy, and aided in drafting the explanatory statement which went out to the press of the country.

To thousands of business and professional men throughout the United States and Canada Denton is known affectionately as the man who pioneered the International Kiwanis movement.  For more than a dozen years he was engaged in developing the organization, and his efforts contributed not a little to its acknowledged success.  Later he became a commissioner in the Extension department of Lions International.

For Many Years Hal P. Denton was in Close Contact with Presidents, Statesmen and Other Celebrities and Wrote about Them




Read what Newspapers Say about Hal P. Denton's Lectures


Chicago Daily News:
The big ball room of the Parkway hotel was crowded with Kiwanians and friends to hear Hal P. Denton give his latest lecture, Presidents of the United States I Have Known.  Of particular interest were his stories of Grover Cleveland, Roosevelt, McKinley and Taft, whose confidence he shared to an unusual degree.


Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Hal P. Denton, for years a Washington correspondent, yesterday at the Hollenden gave the Exchange Club an intimate view of some of the follies and foibles of American statesmen he had known from the administration of Grover Cleveland to that of Calvin Coolidge.  His reminiscences of Theodore Roosevelt, with whom he was in daily contact for almost a decade when the Colonel was much in the calcium light, were particularly interesting and gripping.


Saugus (Mass.) Gazette:
A large and enthusiastic audience greeted Hal P. Denton last night.  His lecture on The Theodore Roosevelt I Knew is by far the best entertainment we have had in Saugus in many years.


Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial Appeal:
What impressed most was the modesty with which Mr. Denton told of the great men he has intimately known.  Many of the graphic dispatches from Havana before and following the destruction of the battleship Maine in 1898 were by his pen.  He was cheek by jowl with Butcher Weyler and Gen. Blanco, Spain's governor generals at different times, but there was no suggestion of egotism in his reference to his participation in hurrying along the Spanish-American war.


Denver (Col.) Post:
It is indeed remarkable that one could actually know so many of America's public men.  But this feeling is dispelled when it is remembered few writing men have enjoyed such a wealth of experience.  Denton's address was replete with interest from start to finish.


Wooster Herald:
For a quarter of a century, much of the time as Washington correspondent for great New York newspapers, Hal P. Denton knew intimately virtually every man in public life in America.  This provided an unusual background for a masterful address here.  The audience was composed of the foremost professional and business men of our city, and they would eagerly have sat another hour to listen to further of the speaker's enormous fund of reminiscences.


Sandusky (O.) Register:
The large crowd which attended the Roosevelt memorial meeting was afforded a rare treat.  Col. William J. Bryan, who was here en route to a speaking engagement down state, spoke briefly, but the piece de resistance was the address of Hal P. Denton, who gave plentifully and interestingly of his reminiscences of the great American whose death the country now mourns.  The meeting of Col. Bryan and Mr. Denton on the same platform was in the nature of an exchange of old-time friendship.  This was easily explained when it was learned that Mr. Denton, as a correspondent, had accompanied the Commoner on his first and second speaking campaigns for the Presidency.


Toronto Tribune:
Hal P. Denton shines as a public speaker as well as he did in the days when he was interesting the American public with his writings.  He knows what the people want, and gives it to them in doses they can absorb and like.


Ravenna Republican:
Denton took his audience back stage and revealed our Congress and the government at Washington just as it is.  And, believe us, it is a different presentation than what we get dished up to us in the Washington dispatches to the daily press.


Tampa (Fla.) Morning Tribune:
Tampa always welcomes Hal P. Denton, for here he is known and has a wealth of old-time friends.  His first visit was when he was on his way from Washington to Cuba in revolutionary days as war correspondent of the New York Morning Journal.  No wonder then that the theater was packed to hear his lecture, Behind the Seenes at the National Capital, based upon his long and varied experience as a writer of governmental affairs.


Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph:
Rotarians, Lions, Kiwanians and members of the Chamber of Commerce packed the banquet room of the Fort Pitt today in combined meeting to hear Hal P. Denton relate his personal reminiscences of the late former President Roosevelt.  Mr. Denton knew the Colonel as few men have known another.  The speaker did not attempt to characterize Roosevelt, but contented himself to narrate in a graphic and interesting way incidents which had resulted from personal contact and close observation.  For more than an hour the audience gave the speaker its undivided attention.

Willoughby (O.) Republican:
The large audience would willingly have listened another hour to Mr. Denton's reminiscences of America's public men.
