Hoover Record.

James A. Farley chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee, told
the Nation last night that Franklin D.
Roosevelt becomes President without
commitments of any kind" as to the
cabinet he will appoint to advise him
He said anybody'S guess was as good as
his concerning the prospective ap-
pointees.
mo man or set of men has a mort
gage on him or on his opinions. or on
his act, said Farley. in an address in
the National Radio Forum, arranged by
The Star and broadcast from coast to
coast by the National Broadcasting Co.
Everett Sanders, Republican National
Committee chairman. who spoke jointly
with Farley, emphasized that as the
minority party, the Republicans will
mot pettifog" nor obstruct any Demo
cratic legislation or executive proposal
merely because it bears the stamp of
the Democratic party"
Popular Mandate Clear"
The popular mandate is clear" said
Sanders. THE Democratic party is
commissioned to do as it promised. It's
responsibility is undivided With the
inauc1ration of tho nauneratic ad
ministration the promises issued nv the
partv are going to be presented for nav
ment. Their redemption is the respon-
ability Of the Democratic party
What of the Republican party?"
Sanders asked; then answering his own
question: 1T will become the minority
party. 1t repudiates none of its policies,
abandons none Of its principles. 1t
record of the Hoover administration or
the traditions and record of the party
throughout its rs wears of existence.
But as minority marty If win not
pettifog, it will not obstruct any Demo-
cratic legislation or executive proposal
merely because it bears the stamp of
the Democratic party.
Mr.. FARLEY spoke as follows.
Let me start this talk to the people
of America with an expression Of the
gratitude I feel. and in this at least /
can speak also for the President elect.
1t must be the only time when I can
srropata IN myself that privilege for
from now on Franklin D. Roosevelt
must travel a lonely path.
four years He is no longer the stand
ard bearer of the Democratic party, but
the representative of all the people
who have intruSted him with the vast
responsibilities of the presidency. He
must make his own decisions, and no.
body may talk for him. Nor can he
delegate to any other the formation
and expression of his views, his policies,
his purposes. The national Democratic
organization has won no victory. The
triumph is that Of the many millions
who have chosen a path to progress.
Our sole function Is then, to insure
that all the issues that confront this
country were laid before the people
The program embodied by our people
was thoroughly understood. There was
no method by which We could influence
this election save by argument
Our gratitude is to the people and
to all the people for accepting our
presentation and believing in our sin
cerity as to the doctrines in which we
sought to enlist their aid. So nv
thanks are limited to no organization
except in so far as organizations help
to crystalline the sentiment that brought
about TUESDAYS result.
