NEW YORK, November 9.-James A
Farley chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, predicted in q
speech last night that Gov. Roosevelt
will go down in history as great
President"
The text Of his address Follows:
Ladies and gentlemen of the radio
audience: We are here at headquarters
of the Democratic National Committee
at the Btltmore Hotel, in New York
City. We have been here for num-
ber of hours waiting for returns that
came to US from every State IN this
Union
I'VE are very happy at the result
and with all due modesty / would say
that We are not surprised. For many
long months Democratic headquarters
predicted the election Of Franklin
Roosevelt. They felt that he would be
elected, because their thought was the
American people would accept the Dem
ocratic platform as adopted at the great
Democratic convention in Chicago, and
we felt that the policies outlined by
our candidate during the campaign
would meet with the approval OF the
American electorate.
Sees Great Obligation
"Victory is, of course, a sweet thing
and while We are all happy here to-
night. we are not unmindful of the
great obligation that goes with great
victory The voters in America have
shown great confidence in our candi-
dates and in our party, and, OF course
it is the desire and the wish OF every
one who supported Gov. Roosevelt that
he give to this country a great admin
iStratiOn.
Il am satisfied that he will go
down is history as great President
He is great American, with great
ability He will be successful because
am firmly of the belief that he will be
able to attract to his support thousands
of Americans who will be willing to aid
him in every way they possibly can to
bring this country back to the position
it held several years ago.
Now that the campaign is over. and
the victory is ours. am sure that the
opposition and every one who supported
candidates ether than Gov. Roosevelt
will be quite willing, as Americans. tc
assist him In every way they possibly
J,
speak for him, but We will welcome the
suggestions and support of every good
American. And knowing America as
do, l am satisfied that they will respond
in generous mood from the day we
take Office as President of these United
States.
