This states that Roosevelt coined the term "square deal" only after he'd left the presidency, but the main TR article suggests it was coined during his campaign for his second term. Roosevelt's April 5, 1905 speech made in Dallas ( http://www.theodore-roosevelt.com/images/research/speeches/trsquaredealspeech.pdf) defines "square deal" in a way that suggests it had already become part of the rhetoric surrounding his policies. I'm having trouble finding the first cited use of the phrase, so I don't want to edit this to say that it was the 1905 speech, but it was definitely not as late as 1910.
