CHICAGO, July 2.-The text Of Rep
resentative McDufhe's address placing
Speaker Garner in nomination for the
vice presidency follows:
Mr.. Chairman and fellow Democrats:
A few days ago Republicans everywhere
predicted dissension and discord in the
ranks of the Democratic party and
based their hopes of the future thereon.
The action Of this convention last eve
ming, which by an almost unanimous
vote named the gallant son Of New
York as its standard bearer has not
only chilled the hearts of every Repub-
lican in the country, but has shown
them the way to their certain defeat.
Let the country understand that to-
day there is happiness in the Demo-
cratic household. We have had our
ferences-Democrats often differ. but
Democrats are good sports And Demo-
Gratis everywhere will let the dead past
bury its. dead and in the November
elction the Democratic party, yielding
to the demand of the American people,
viii come to their rescue now, as 1t has
always done in the past.
Party Peoples Refuge.
"It is a matter of historic fact that
whenever the American people have
been in distress their eyes have turned to
the followers Of Jefferson and Jackson
and Wilson for relief
In every crisis, when the American
peoplel are thinking, they call upon the
Democratic party for leadership.
This day and this hour there Is q
demand for new deal in the manage
ment of the affairs OF the American
people. We will ansWr the call We
will answer it in the future as We have
in the past. That call will not be in
vain.
1T is my happy privilege, coming from
the far Southland and from State. II
you please, which has held aloft the
banner of Democracy for three-quar-
ters Of a century without a single de-
feat, which held the lines in 1928 and
which will hold them in '32, first on
the roll call in November, Alabama will
answer AYE" almost unanimously.
Ladies and gentlemen, the call OF the
hour is for leadership, for manhood,
for those who will stand up and be
counted, If you please, when the test
comes.

American Congress, yea, the leader OF
his party, the Hon. John Garner, recog-
nidng, remembering, the record he has
made as a leader, even though with
thin majority Of Democrats in the
House, and a block in the pathway in
the White House and in the Senate,
recognizing that John Garner is a real,
red-blooded, herman, is proud to place
his name before this convention as
running mate for the son Of the EN-
pire State of New York
Born of the Revolutionary stock Of
Old Virginia with background unsur-
passed from the standpoint of breed
ing, but having been educated in the
school Of experience, having led his
party to a high place in the hearts Of
the American people, with his 80 years
of experience in national affairs, and a
master, if you please, of the intricate
machinery of the Government Of the
United States, preaching not theories
of two chickens in every pot and two
automobiles in every garage, not be-
lieVing, II you please, that prosperity
Is around the corner and not believing
that we may have prosperity by execu-
tive proclamation, but with his feet on
the ground, having risen by his own
individual initiative and enterprise,
sane, safe, sound in the fundamentals
of the American Government, a lover
of its institutions and all American
ideals, man with courage of his con-
victions who can say mo" when no
needs to be said, and who can say yes
when yes needs to be said, but who
can never and has never said yes
and mo" at the same time, calm
enough for any crisis, cool enough for
any emergency, brave enough for any
battle, standing side by side, coming
from the great Southwest, joining hands
if you please with the distinguished son
of New York, side by side. Roosevelt
and Garner will lead the Democratic
party to the greatest victory it has ever
achieved. thank you.
