In 1885 Q picturesque, high-powered, and somewhat politically unidentified firehrand, named g. Davis Wilson, ran on the republican ticket for mayor. Against him was put up Jack Kelly, an attractive and inter- nationally-known sportsman.

class feeling run higher in philadel- phia than in any other big city of the east. Although Q rock-rlbbed republican city in the past, party labels seem strangely to have gone out of fashion among the working class of people here.
 "The democratic party in phila- delphia was for years 6 sub rosa branch of the penrose and Ware republican city machine" an old- timer explained to me. "There SiEfls ply wasn't any genuine democratic city party at oil.
 "It's even mixed up now, because Mayor wilson, with his republican label, really is. only Q phoney when it come to the national ticket.
 "Our city charter declares that no city employe can mix in politics. It's Q swell out for the mayor. And lust one thing more: Holding the democratic convention here will swing c good many thousands of Philadelphlan votes to Roosevelt"
 
 City Is Fighting Ground
 So 1t is that in November phlla. delphia, dominating eastern Penn- sylvania, faces the first real national political battle in It's history.
 It is certainly correct to write that Roosevelt has Q fair chance of carrying Philadelphia.
 If he does that, 1t appears that he has even Q little better than 6 fair chance of carrying the 30 cleo. toral college votes of the state.
 And if he does that, he will be doing something that no democratic presidential nominee has done since James Buchanan, Pennsylvanian, was elected democratic president in 10B0--when the newly organized rec publican party made It's first na- tional bid with Fremont

How F. R. Fashioned Speech

Times and methods have changed since Lincoln wrote that famous ad- dress on the back of an envelope in pencil while riding from Washing ton to Gettysburg,
 The Roosevelt acceptance speech was written, then rejiggered again and again. Of the three men who worked on 1t with the president, two were among the most important members of the original Brain Trust" which helped him prepare his campaign speeches four years ago this summer.
 The third was . younger man who has risen rapidly to top role as Q White House adviser and strategist. Neither Charlie Ml- clielson, king of ghost writers, nor the maligned Dr. Tugwell had any part in preparation of this one.
 The master mind was Roosevelt, who watched and listened intent Iy to the convention and changed the speech from time to time in accordance with what he consid- cred variations in the. mood of the convention and the listening populace.
 The high spot of the speech, which undertook to draw a major campaign issue between the warm hearted leaders and the cold-blood- ed leaders, was not the presidents own idea. But 1t was he who in- sisted that people had been bored by the convention and that the speech needed two things more than anything else:
 1. Dignity. 2 Fight.
 The story that Roosevelt turned down his advisers and refused to deliver harder and more specific punches isn't true.
