Chicago. When the new Demo-
cratic nominee came TO the great
convention hall 10 speak TO his
party, any lingering doubts that
the party would carry out the re-
peal plank in the platform were
dispelled. Bluntly, Mr.. Roosevelt
promised to bend every effort to
bring about repeal.

Roosevelt made this promise pro-

(Denver): The finest tribute TO
the qualities of President Roose-

was the national unity achieved
after the last election. AS a

There was bitterness in the cam

RECORD VICTORY

The dramatic flight of the Presi-
dent from Albany to the conven-
ton hall in Chicago did a lot TO
dispel doubts of those who were
preaching the doctrine that Reose-
welt was ''parlor pink" man
of indecision and distinctly not an
individual of two-fsted action.
Bluntly- and straightforward, the
new nominee stated his opinions
and told the thousands in the
convention hall that he would
leave no room for doubt as TO his
feeling on any subject. He proved
this in the campaign that he con-
Quoted and the nation elected him
to the presidency over the Re-
publican nominee and then Presi-
dent, II er bert Hoover, by a
majority that had never before
been approached.
After his election, President
Roosevelt's administration won
adherents by the million.
In Florida in 1888. the bullets
of an assassin missed the Presi-
dent but killed Mayor Anton J.
Cermak Of Chicago and wounded
four others.
Within a few hours after his
Inauguration March A. that year,
he proclaimed the Today banking
holiday and launched the NRA
and other governmental agencies
to combat the depression then
sweeping the country.
In the same trying year he took
the nation off the gold standard
and devaluated the dollar
CANNY POLITICS
It was in 1885 that the supreme
court unanimously held the Ma
tional Industrial Relations Act
illegal and President Roosevelt
issued his famous back 10 the
horse and buggy days comment.
Playing canny politics, Mr..
Roosevelt did not make the Su-
preme court an issue in the 1886
campaign for re election. He
toured the country in an electri-
flying campaign.
Never before had such crowds
turned out so consistently from
coast 10 coast to see one man.
He carried every state but Ver-
mont and Maine, overwhelming
Gov. ALI NJ. Landon of Kansas.
Taking anew the oath Of office
in a driving rain on Jan. q, 1887,
he declared:
"The autocratic powers have
been challenged and beaten.
The legend that they were in
vincible E. has been shattered
But the "autocratic powers
were only biding their time to
challenge him again.
He boldly proposed to Congress
in 1887 that all federal justices
over the age of 20 either retire
or have a younger man appointed

BEAT PARALYSIS, TOO

These were only two instances
Of the swiftness and decision with
which President Roosevelt worked.
In every economic field his action
was similar. Industry, the social
institutions of the country. all re-
sponded with quickened pulse to
the magnetism and leadership of
this man who had come TO the
White House in 1882.
All of these accomplishments
were brought into being by a man
who, back in 1920, was stricken
with the dread disease, infantile
paralysis. A nation which had
learned to know the young Roose-
welt as an able assistant secretary
of the navy under President Will
son mourned the affliction as the
end of the active life of the man.

HELPED SMITH

The man who was a cripple in
1920 four years later made a dra-
matte re-entry into politics when
at the Democratic national con-
vention at Madison Square Car
den in New York in 1924 he came
out on the stage on crutcheS and
nominated Alfred Z. Smith of
New York for the presidency.
Since that re-entry Mr.. Roosevelt
had never again faded into the
background. His name has been
one continually on the people s
lips. And when the convention
met in Chicago in 1882 he was
an almost inevitable choice.
The President was born Jan.
30, 1882, the only child of James
Roosevelt. a descendant of early
Dutch settlers in the Hudson
River Valley. His birthplace was
the same Hyde Park. n. Y, home
where he spent many weeks of
every summer throughout his
life. Franklin's godfather was
Elliott Roosevelt, only brother of
Theodore Roosevelt, just then
beginning his career.
