SPEECH OP THE P~ID~'T
POtJGHKl:JlPSIJ;, N. Y •
NOVDIB~ 4, 1940.
MY NEIGHBORS OF DTJrCH}l)S COUNI'Y:
My reason ror speakins to you tonight i a not to as k
your ?otes on the morrow. It h rather to tell you or a
llt.tle or the past and a littl• or the future .
It i a Just thirty years ago tbc.t I first campaigned
in our County -- \'.'hen I was runni ng ror St a t e Senator and
old Dick Connell or the News Press "'llS running for Congreu .
In those days we d1d have a DemooMltto paper 1n Dutchess
Count y ; and D1ck Connell ran tor Congress so ott en tha t
he finally got elect ed , He a l ways said that his s uccess
was due to the tact that in praTlous unsuccessful cOJnpale;na
b e s topped at every school house he passed snd made a little
apeeob on democracy and. the Amer1c11n l'las to the pupils .
- 2 -
He ole..imed that enough acbool children grew up OTer a period
or years to know hill, to remember the incident, end to YOte
tor hi m.
He won in that year or 1910 age.lnat the Cather or
your present Congresean .
In those days this HUdson River section or ours wee
closer politic1:1.lly between the two major parties than it
has been in recent yeHrs, Speuklns not in a part isan way
but as one who, you knO\\ , has been always interes ted locally
in chic betterment, I M inclined to think that close
competit ion between the two pllrtle s in these rive r counties
wa s a Tery g ood th1J18. rt~ch party wa s s triving to outdo
the other, not i n promisee alone , but in the actua.lltles
ot good government ,
In those days , thirty years ego, I am inclined e.a an
observer to beli eve that county and local goTerment in
Dutchess aDd. the ot her counties •rea stimulated by the
closeness or the races that were aade.
- ) -
Th.e au:e thing wee true i n those days in regard to
St ate and even National l)Olltlca . We were not cor-..r~itted
to any set way or voting . We used to have an occe.elonal
Democrat in the CoOBreaa or i n the State Senate or in the
Auec~bly and. once in a blue c;oon this good old County or
Dutchess used to go Dea:oorutio . In tbe interest or good
government , I think it would be a tine t hi ng it it could
be a bit more Demooretlo again now.
And thl:l.t leeds me to er:~phealze not in a part y aense
but in en American senee the need that all or u3 have to
think day and night in terma or our own historic rorm or
goYertJ:D.ent . It i s true, as we all know, that tn uny other
parte or the v:or4d serious aDd se¥etkes succesatul attacks
have been made on it. New forma ot government 1 baaed on
the theory of might r a ther than the theory or right , have
waged wars ag&1net. innocent peoplee.
- ' -But in the long run I belhrn, tor ex.11.11ple, that
the Ce:rn:anlc and Italian peoplea , with their proud heritage
ot freedom , will return, with the res t or the worl d , to
self goverrunent based on t r ee electlona .
Events abroad sec. tar av.·ay to us. Dut tiLe and
distance haTe been greatly shortened eo tha.t we must
alweya roecber that pflace i n our land m•y depend on our
thoroughly r ecognized ability to defend ourselves .
And you and I are t hankful tonight that we have
peace throughout the length and brendth of t his land .
And whet is iriOre , t he people, by their strength, intend
to keep this country at peace .
'ro f\.oU, the a:en and 'WOC.tiD or my owo boca County ,
I apeak tor the last time bare on Warket Street on the
eve of an el ection. All my lite I have been, yes , all
my life I aball be , devoted. to the welfare and lntereata

UOV£!ta&=l. 4-, 194-0
MY NEIGHBORS OF DU'rCHESS COtniTY:
My reason tor sJ)I!Iail~ to you tonlght 1s not to ask
your votes on t he oorrow . It l s r a ther to tell you or a
llttle or the past and a llttle or t he fut ure.
It is just thlrty years nKO thll.t I nrst oMpai«ned
in our Count y -- when I was runninf{ tor State Senator and
old Di ok Connell o! the Hews Preas was running !or Conlll'eu ,
In thoae days we did have a De1110oratlo uu:oer in Dutchess
County; o.nd Dick Connell r o.n !or Cor~t•reu so o!'ten thAt
was due t o the tact thnt ln previous
he atopl')(td nt every school house he
1peeeh on democracy and the Allier-loan
- 2-
He olal!eed that enoup;h aohool oh1l~n grew uo over 11. nerlod
ot yeare to know h1.lll, to remember the lnoldent, and to vote
tor h11!1 .
He won ln that year of 1910 agalnat the rather ot
your ore sent Cof!f'"l'l!lee•n ,
In thou days thla Hudaon River eeotlon of oura was
closer pol1tle:~.lly between the two ll!L,lor nartlu than lt
haa been ln recent yeare . Sl?e<lnp; not ln a nartlae.n way
but o.e one who, you ltnow, hna been always lntereated loonlly
1n olvlo betterment, I am 1nol1ned to thl:J.k that oloae
OOt:\ptitltlon between thll two l)lll"t1ee in these river oountlea
wae a very good thing. EAch oorty was etrlvlna: to outdo
of good gover~Went .
In those days, t h i rty yeara
obaerver to believe tl'lllt county and
Dutoheaa a.nd the other oountlea waa
-3-
'l'ho sane thing ••• true ln those daya ln regard to
State and even ~at1onal pol1t1o1. We vel'e not ooll!!lltted
to o.ny set way of voting, We ueed to have an oooaalonal
Democrat in the ConcroBB or ln the State Senate or ln t~
Auembly and once ln a blue eoon th1a ~d old County of
Dutoheu used to go De!looratlo . In the interest of good
p:over~nt, I think lt would be a fine thing if lt could
be a btt more Demooratlo again now ,
And that leads me to emphaal,,e not ln a party eenne
but '"an Acerlcnn aenee the need that all of u a have to
think day and night 1n tenal of our own hlatorlo toM of
goverMenG. It la true, aa we all Jtno1t , that ln mnn1 other
parts of the world serlout and aoaetiaea eucceaatul attacks
have been made on lt. New form• of
thf'l thMry of might ro.ther than the
·•ulR84 ware aco.lnRt innocent peoples.
- 1-
But ln the lol\1! run I believe, for example, that
the Oflrmnnlc and Ital1an oeopln, vlth the i r proud herl ta~o
ot freedom. will return , wt.th the reet or the world, to
self government bo.sed on tree elections .
Events abroad seem to.r away to ua . But ttoe and
dletance have been ~oatl.y abortened ao that we ll\let
alwaya recember th!lt pence ln our land DAY de-pend on our
thorouq:hly recognlud o.b1lltY to defend ourselvea .
And you and I are thankful tonlr:ht that we have
peace throughOut the length an1\ breadth or thla land.
And what 18 more, the people , by their strength, intend
to keep tbls country at peace .
'fo you, the oen and wo!Mn of ay ovn boQe County,
I &peak tor the latt t1ao here on Harltet• S.treet on tho
