Roosevelt was a very maverick type leader. So saying he was "republican" is kind of a stretch. He even set up his own Bull Moose party to run against his hand picked replacement Taft. So he had a lot of quirky approaches to problems. He was pro government and wanted it to be larger. Coolidge was pro business and wanted the government smaller. Over simplification on my part.
