ter how unfit that administration has
trencfaIEen.s OF office, buttressed by
the inertia OF umid people who fear
TO make q change, with the money and
influence OF the interests that have been
served by Q plant governmental regime.
he party In power has a vast ADVANTAGE
We hear the ra2rnbhng of public dtssatis-
faction. We sense the national unrest
and we are prone to assume that these
things foretcH the certain collapse Of
an unsatisfactory administration But
let me warn you that ours will not be
victory by default.
All OF us have seen elections that
appeared to be Won In July but that
eliminated in defeat in November. We
have all the best of 1t today, but we
cannot AFFORD to lose any ground Only
by the combined efforts of all of US
can We maintain Cur present adyan-
tage. We must be united and 1 be-
leve we are united. but there is moth
ing automatic IN the busintis of sup
planting Republican Government With
a Democratic one. None Of us can af-
ford the luxury OF indulging our di1-
appointments. nursing our grievances
and lodging our party duty. The enemy
Is powerful end resourceful. even
though ITS leader may be the weakest
candidate in all our political history.
Its up to all of US to see to it that
there Is no siip-up this year
Denies Trades Made.
Flat denial vas made by Farley that
the Roosevelt nomination was brought
about by trades" and promises of cab
met or diplomatic posts. One Of the
reports which Mr. Farley vas hitting
at was to the effect that william Gibbs
McAdoo, head Of the California delega-
ton supporting Speaker Garner, had
sold out because he had been promised
the ONCE Of Secretary Of State. Mr..
Farley said:
You doubtless also saw in the news
paper accounts Of the convention pro-
eeed!ngs a varying lot OF stories Of
trades and deals entered into TO COM
pass the nomination There Is no basis
OF fact for any Of these stories Nc
body has been promised cabinet posi-
ton. an ambassadorship or anything
else of that sort. As a matter OF fact,
the Governor had no necessity for bar
gaining His initial strength in the
convention on tht first ballot represent
cations which considered him the best
candidate for the nomination. The
shlfl5 that made him victorious on the
fourth ballot were due entirely TO the
sentiment Of the leaders OF other dele
cations. who saw ne value in prolonglng
the proceedings and who figured that
the candidate who had attained ma
jority of the votes was more available
standard bearer than any of the other
aspirants for the high honor.
This may not be as dramatic story
as the tales of eabals and intrigues and
hack-room conference that the news
papers carried. but it happens to be
true recital Of the progress, causes and
effects of the Chicago convention Our
candidate goes into the battle unham-
pered by promises, except the promise to
be as eficient ? Chief Executive as he
Is capable Of being"
Mold No Resentment.
Mr Farley said that the Roosevelt
people held no resentment because of
the statements issued by Hague in Chi
cago and elsewhere attacking Roose-
yeh. He said:
In the heat of conflict nobody has
right to assume that the partisans
will shorten their swords or pun their
section of the fighting lire caused us of
the Roosevelt forces more anxiety. drove
us to harder thinking and compelled US
10 stouter Efforts than did the New Jer-
sey contingent"
He continued:
You perhaps have noted. as have
noted. editorials in scme of your Jersey
newspapers saeely propheSving that
Frank Hague was in eclipse because OF
his fght for Al Smith as against FRANK
Roosevelt. That is rubbish. The Gov
ernor knows ne foes in the Democratic
party. Convention enmities epapora0ed
on July !. The Governor has no ran
cor as to anything that tranSpired be-
fore the date OF his nomination There
never vas anything personal SO far a.
he was concerned in any of the cont1'o-
verstes that preceded his nomination.
Fer example the uuta uons of intrs-
party politics brought him into a rneaS-
ure Of conflict With Iof1n Raekob and
.Jouett Shoase. bat nobodv has higher
apprecie ien than he OF the work these
two great Democrats did for the party"
Axaiis Hoover.
Mr.. Farley turned his guns on PreS-
form before he completed his speech
He oantrasted the declaration made by
Roosevelt declaring himself in fa~or OF
the prohibition repeal plank Of the
Democratic platform With the silence
so far maintained by President Hoover.
Mr. Hoover however. has not yet made
his acceptsnoe speech. IN which he is
to clear UP his position on the prokd-
bition question.
Farley declared that the Republican
prohibition plank was "pussyfoofing
