on an issue of restoration Of Amer.
lean democracy" in 1882 the people
were lin a mood to win" and they did
| win" It re-echoed when he added
that the issue now Is preservation Of
that victory and again they will
win"
Boos were interspersed with cheers
when he declared moment later that
neither the attacks of INSCRIPTIONS
enemies nor the exaggerations of over
Jealous friends will serve to mislead
the American" about the admins
tration record.
Occasionally the President slipped
from a glass Of water.
He laughed with the crowd when
he asserted that "for IL years the Ma.
ton had been afflicted with hear-noth.
ing. see-nothing, do-nothing govern
ment."
National and State Democratic
leaders sat on the platform behind Mr..
Roosevelt. Mrs. Roosevelt was there
and so was the Presidents mother,
Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt.
Applause Hits Peak.
The applause reached a new peak
when he said he welcomed the
hatred" of those who favored Gov
ernment by organized money"
It was just as loud, however, when
he said he should like it have said of
his first administration that in it "the
forces Of selfshness and of lust for
power met their match" and of his
second that in it these forces met
their master"
More boos surged through the audi
ence when he talked of ''pay-envelope
propaganda" against the social Sc
curity act and added that by labor
spy" tactics, reckless men, needless
Of consequences, would risk the dis
ruption Of the hope of q new peace"
between employer and employe.
The Chief Executive taking a final
fling at Republican administrations,
gave his own definition Of the cam
paign issue as follows:
In 1882 the issue was the restora-
tion of American democracy; and the
American people were in q mood to
win. They did win.
'In 1886 the issue is the preserva-
tion OF their victory. Again, they are
in a mood to win. Again they will
win"
He said the New Deals vision for
the future contains more than
promises, but in outlining objectives
he left for the future what steps, leg
islative or otherwise, would be taken
to reach them.
"Of course, we will continue to seek
to improve working conditions for the
workers Of America" he said. ITO
reduce hours overlong, to increase
wages that spell starvation, to end
the labor of children, to wipe out
sweat shops.
"Of course we will continue every
effort to end monopoly in business, to
support collective bargaining, to stop
unfair competition, to abolish dis
honorable trade practices.
For all these, we have just begun
to fight"
Likewise, he said, the administra-
ton had just begun to battle for the
farmers, the home owners, for better
banking, for work for the needy and
unemployed, and for economic se-
curity.
Training his verbal barrage on the
last three Republican administrations,
he said: mine mocking years with
the golden calf and three long years
of the scourage! Nine crazy years at
the ticker and three long years in the
bread line! Nine mad years of mirage
and three long years Of despair!"
Now, he said, powerful influences
are striving to restore "that kind of
government with its doctrine that
that government is best which Is most
Indifferent"
He said he was submitting q record
Of peace, and on that record . we'll
founded expectation for future peace
peace for the individual, peace for
the community, peace for the Nation
and peace for the world"
The American people in 1882, above
all, wanted those kinds Of peace, he
said. A moment later he added:
I'VE had to struggle with the old
enemies Of peace-business and
financial monopoly. speculation, reck-

tionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the
