Ready for Issue
 we are ready for the issue. We hage ended starvation, bread lines, soiip kitchens, and have brought this country through the greatest &epreslson ever known.
 with OUT decks cleared for battle, with justice and right and progress with us, we are ready for more action under the inspired leadership of that great American whose name give you as your candidate for president, no longer citizen merely Of one state, but son of all 4S states, Franklin Delano Roosevelt" !"
 Delegates had been waiting for that name. Three days of talk and parading were Q build-up toward Macks three last words. In 48 state delegations and among the represen- tatives of territories and possessions, men and women were ready to step ID with geconding remarks. The big occasion of the convention was ap- preaching, when the man who let the democratic party back into Washington in 1892 is voted the 11arshars baton for 1936.
 Judge Mack peered over the ros- trum into the kleigs and at the faces of thousands of persons. His home, Poughkeepsie, is the nearest urban community to the Roosevelt estate on the Hudson.
 Began Very Simply
 He began simply:
 we meet again."
 Four years ago in similar sur- TOundings-if Q boxing and wrestling auditorium in Chicago Mack nominated the friend of his youth for president. Twenty-six years ago he proposed MT. Roosevelt for his first public office, state senator in New York.
 we were raised as boys in ad- joining towns" Mack said, "but with different horizons. My horizon was the Hudson valley-his was the uni- verse. was his senior in years. AS democratic office holder, l pre- sented his name as our candidate for state senator in 1910.
 T believe I knew him better than most of his constituents. told them that this young man was ready to carry out the heritage of his birth"
 Referred To Smith Gently
 Gently, but in language unmis- takable to the man in the brown derby, Mack referred to the one- time friendship of MT. Roosevelt and Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York. Smith leaves the party today for the duration of Mir. Roosevelt's ascendency. He announced his inc tention last Sunday in an open let- ter to this convention demanding nomination of a genuine democrat" instead of MT. Roosevelt. Mack told simply of the presidents affiction which robbed his legs of strength.
 "1n 1928", Mack said, "he came back to public life in New York state, not because of any political ambition of his own, but solely in Gt1swer to the call of friendship"
 In 1928 Smith put irresistible pressure on MT. Roosevelt to re- enter public life, hoping "Roose- veit for governor" would help the "grnith for President" chances in New York.
 Mack traced his man from minor to major responsibilities and he re- called the depths of 1883.
 He Saw Necessity
 'iie saw that unless something was done ct once, starvation would soon face the United States" Mack said. with the aid of his splendid cabinet, with the aid of @ democra- tic congress and with the aid of the forward looking, country-loving and faSseeing progressives and republi- cans, he proceeded to place this country on its feet"
 The theme of accounting for 8 three-year democratic stewardship ran through Mack's speech as he described how the party at Chicago promised earnest and determined effort to bring about a recovery from republican uncertainty and instability"
 He said MT. Roosevelt took ofiice "filled with relentless determination to rejuvenate this nation, to break down special privilege and to place this country on permanently sound and stable footing"
 We have blazed path to pros-
