INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October 2l.-
The text Of Gov. RooSevelt's speech
here yesterday follows:
MY friends. we are passing through
no ordinary campaign. 1t Is my belief
that this campaign marks the beginning
of a new deal in American politics. and
in the conduct of American govern
ment. The Americna people, conserva-
tive and peace loving. have had an ex-
perience under the present Republican
leadership that they do not wish to
continue.
"The unsound and unintelligent ven-
turing into economic policies that this
administration, and that the present
candidate for President sponsored, has
brought terrible retribution. His eco
nomic heresies have all come home to
roost,' and this administration stands
convicted of having produced this brood
of disaster-prOducing CANDLES with ma
tional prosperity.
1T will be the purpose of the new
administration to bring order out of
this chaos, to institute sound and pro-
gressive and humane policies, to repair
the damage that has been wrought, to
return, if you will, the people OF the
United States to the ways of economic
soundness and a more widely distrib-
uted prosperity.
Prosperity Possible.
"These ways Of prosperity and sound
ness are assured if We will order our
economic and governmental life prop
erly. In spite Of the ruinous policies Of
the present Republican administration
the country still stands, the richest in
the world-a Nation OF the greatest Of
opportunities and potentialitieS. Nature
has given us rich soil. precious minerals
and a great network OF invaluable
waterways. The progress Of migration
has given us the best of the man power
Of the old world There has come to
us from other climes in the course Of
generations people with enough OF ira
dition and enough of genius to build
here a civilization the like Of which
no one has dreamed The Old World has
given us population of strong men
and women, a population willing to
work, and willing to serve in the order
ly building of civilization.
Even in the deep pessimism of this
depression this population has kept its
temper, has held steady in the face of
adversely. And even now it Is remain
ing calm in the face OF organized and
ruthless propaganda, the propaganda
Of eleventh hour political desperation
which bangles the old ghost of panic
before our eyes.
Think of these facts, my friends,
before the decision which you must
make on November g. Remember that
the unwise policies of this adminiStra-
ton have made it impossible for the
people of this country to profit by the
rich products of the richest soil on
earth.
Mines Lie Unused.
These policies have permitted also
the uncounted riches Of our mines to
lie unused while those who stand ready
to work these mines in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia and Ohio and
Missouri. Colorado. Utah. Nevada
Montana and Idaho starve in the very
presence of riches. I saw this with my
own eyes while goin an the Ohio
River from Pittsburgh
"A selfish policy Of pernicious private
monopoly has permitted water power
| that might bring happiness to millions
of homes to remain unused.
Far out on the Pacific Coast great
population facing the Orient is unable
to trade with that Orient because of the
| unsound policies sponsored by men SO
narrow and localized in Washington
/ that they were too selfish or too indif-
ferent to realize the needs of people Sc
| far away.
What we need. what have con-
stantly preached in terms of unified ma
tional thinking, is grasp Of all OF our
