am quite sure out OF these counsels
will come agreement.
IF nv diagnosis is corret, how can
this administration be other than sue

Open and Simple Strategy.
Perhaps you may expect me to talk
more OF politics and less Of govern
ment 1t has been intimated to me
that you would like to hear something
of the strategy Of the campaign that
has eliminated SO well from our point
of view. I can only tell you that what
ever of strategy there has been was
open and simple.
I'VE started in quite while ago
with the idea that the Governor Of
New York was the man best qualified
to administer the Government at
Washington. We succeeded in accom-
plishing his Nomination at Chicago
not by deals but by ordinary political
processes. He had a greater number
OF votes when the convention came to-
gether than all other candidates COM
bined. The convention took cogniz-
ance of that and supplied the other
votes requisite to the two-thirds ma
jority.
1T was a fortunate circumstance
that q great Democrat consented to
give his inestimable service to the
party, and the ticket OF Roosevelt and
Garner eVentuated.
"Of course, there were some dlsap-
pointments at this convention; 1t Is
rarely otherwise But the Democratic
few weeks every fragment Of the Demo-
cratic party was enlisted in the COM
mon cause.
There was no great mystery about
the campaign processes either. We
raised our campaign fund In the ordi-
nary way We spread our doctrine
through the usual channels Of politi-
cal propaganda. We organized our
States. the States organized their dis
tricts and the districts organized their
precincts. as has been done for 100
years or more. We submitted our
cause to the people.
Il think the people are happy today
at the prospect Of an administration
by fresh mind, by man whose long
experience as Governor Of the Empire
State has fitted him to govern, and
one whose public service has given them
faith in his intelligence. his capacities
and his high sense of duty.
IT believe the people look forwart
to the new deal he has promised with
every expectation that he will guide the
country out Of its troubles sanely, con-
servatively. courageously, and that be-
cause Franklin d. Roosevelt is Prest-
dent the dawn of happier days will not
be longer delayed.
TUESDAY was rather an eventful day
for me. I visited my polling place at
Eighty-flfth street and Madison avenue
at 10 o'clock and waited for more than
an hour and IS minutes before I was
able to vote. 1 never saw such a
demonstration on the part Of the Amer
lean people Not one person ahead Of
me in line left because he had to wait
for so long q. period before he could
exercise the privilege that was his
