City.
You don't know McNamee? Well
you've heard him. if you listened to
the Cleveland convention by radio.
McNamee is the chap who sits in the
little glass cage at the side of the
stage, who tells you what is going
on, just before or after he switches
the convention racket onto the radio.
McNanee was a. young student of
singing until he wandered into
WEAF, one day. and Eew that the
broadcasters We're orvp-ooking a bet
by not making tj-t announcements
more interesting.
Every little. while MeNamee is

politicians and you hear him say

They're milling around and don't
seem to be getting anywhere. " Then

New York the opportunity New
York offers to everyone who comes
here poor and becomes rich or
eminent. New York is proud Of its
opportunities.
Al Smith did more than come he e
poor and become famous. He was
born here. down on the east side,
poor as a mouse. AS he stepped up
the political ladder, aided by Tam
many. AL never forgot the folks he
used to Know. He remembers their
first names and they call him Al to
his face. Anybody can meet Al at
his headquarters. He and his gang
make folks feel welcome. A bit of
