Roosevelt said the democracy Of America will stand without fear and without hesitation loyally behind" NIT. Smith as the nominee Of the convention.
 Picture the coming campaign" Mr Roosevelt said. Imagine ringing through the halls Of the nation this
 
 ruption, Of unAmerican isolation. Of sordid tariffs for the benefit of the few, attacking as only he can, the re publican onslaught on the reserve powers of the states. Imagine his thrust and his genial sarcasm burn ing out the truth where all men can see it; the eloQuence Of his simple clsan-cut oratory: the wave of under standing and belief in him which will follow his steps"
 Honesty Plank
 Mir. Roosevelt told tho convention its candidate must be able to stand upon" clear cut plank against cor ruption in government" adding that 'our governor for over 2o years in public office has wlthstood the white light Of publicity upon whom it had pitIlessly beaten and revealed only spotloss integrity"
 The country cries out in consterna- ton and contempt over the continued dissensions between tho executive and legislative branches of the government during the last four years" ar. Roosevelt continued. Under inc complete lack Of leadership in a re- publican White House and repnh- lican capitol. we have had all Of the checks but none Of the hnlances." which, he said. tho constitution, in theory, provided.
 Therefore we must give 10 the country" he said. "a president eN- rerienced in administration and cap able Of restoring teamwork and good will between the executive and tho congress. rhcHc qualifications arc rare, but l submit to ynr no expert. ment. This mans record Is history. it has brought the highest comman- dation from the citizens of this state, men and women, republieau and dem. ocrat farmer and city dwelor alike
 His Inauguration as president would mark the beginning Of nsS era of good feeling and practical ac. complishment hstwern the president and the congress of the United States"
 Mir Roosevelt said Y Governor Smith vns given an opportunity for wider service he "Hill make tho ,lry bones rattle in Washington" and no longer will cynica and pessimias point the finger Of scorn at our cz- ecutite machinery"

 We need a president. ono in whom the nnssrs Of Inc people. Inc great crosa-seciion CT American public opinion will regain their lost faith. | We need as president not a man who pili yatify some one section nr some one class: the relations of labor and capital, tho farmer and the city dut1- ter. the manufacturer and consumer. the rich and poor hsyr become so cumpirN iu our rational life that problems have arifen acute beyond thn dreams nf our forcfaihcrs. and calling for the steady guiding hand of one whose ,oieg nill be needed by ! the vast ma igrity of those who make . up Inc 10000. .n0n of our population.
 'Consdence and faith such as this ] has been Hru hy the goycruor of this 1 state. The masses nf labor took him ! as q protector and good friend.
