Next day, for the first time in many a month, the three sat together on a convention platform while Al Smith nominated Herbert Lehman and Jim Farley read his way through...
Referring to his speech before the Boston Advertising Club Tuesday at the Hotel Statler, he declared he was certainly critical of the New Deal, but "in an effort to be constructively critical." Certain things should be saved, he said, such as "personal freedom and liberty, freedom of the press, and the ability to combine security with progress."
