NEW YORK, November 14.—The text of Gov. Alfred E. Smith's radio address last night, as reported by Associated Press stenographers, follows: Now that the dust and smoke of bat- tle have cleared away, I am grateful for the -privilege extended to me by the Democratic national committee of speaking to millions of my fellow citi- zens and of presenting to them some reflections of the campaign just ended. Party Survives Defeats. ‘The Democratic party is the oldest political organization in the United States. So well defined are the doc- trines and the principles upon which it is founded that it has survived defeat after defeat. In the 65 years that have passed since the Civil War, only two Presidents were elected on the Demo- cratic ticket. otherwise founded would have been able during all these years to maintain an nppej to the people that brought to the polls on election day fourteen and a half millions of voters, subseribing once more to its platform and renewing their pledges to the principles which it has upheld throughout its long history. ‘The verdict of the American people last Tuesday was not a crushing defeat of the Democratic party that some of the in the public have us believe. On cont would , let us |see what the facts are. Take the popu- lar votes. . A change of 10 per cent of the total number of votes cast would have changed the popular result. Considert; it from the viewpoint of our electoral college system, a change of less than 500,000 votes spread around the country would have altered the result. Twe Parties Necessary. We have, therefore, the assurance from the election returns that the Dem- ocratic party is a ive, a vigorous and a forceful one. Existence of such a party is necessary under our system of gov- ernment. , The people rule negatively as well as. affirmatively, and a vigorous and intelligent minority is a necessary check upon the tyranny of the majority. Experience_has always shown, even in our small® political “subdivisions, that when the minority party is and hopeless, grave abuses creep into the structure of government and the ad- mi lon ‘of its affairs. the m&my party belleves has everything its own way it fear of reprisals at the polls for: t or misconduct of thé Government.

Democrats to Carry On. The principles for which the Demo- cratic party stands are as great in de- feat as they would have been in victory, and it is our duty to carry on and vin- dicate the principles for which we fought. The Democratic party today is the great.liberal party the Nation. It leads the 'progressive thought in all the countries. It holds out the only hope of return of the fundamental prin- ciples on which this country was built and as a result of which it has grown and thrived. ‘To the men and women of the country tic ith its OHers the only inspiration. .

It has been particu- larly noticeable in the State of New York, where great forward-looking con- structive measures were delayed for years by partisan opposition seeking to withhold from the Democratic party | credit for their accomplishments. Obstructionists Are Rejected. The party responsibility for such ob- struction tactics has been rebuked by the people at the polls no later than last Tuesday. Too often the minority has attempted to ride into power by taking advantage of the failure of the majority that led into an actuality the campaign promises upon which it sought the suffrage of the people. “While it is true that every party must adhere to its fundamential princi- ples, obstruction and blockade for the sole purpose of embarrassing the party wer are not calculated to pro- mote the best interests of the country. It would be regarded a constructive achievement if the Democratic party at Washington were to formulate a pro- gram adapted and offered to the Con- gul of the Nation and there defend and a refusal on the part of the party in 8""" to accept it or their inability to about party unity for the solu- tion of these problems would then fix r ‘:‘Fonsmmy and make a record upon which a successful campaign can be waged four years from now. “In other words, the Democratic party would not be acting in good faith with people of the country, nor in rallied to its support, if it were to sit by and adopt a policy of inaction with a hops of profiting solely by the mis- taks or the failure of the opposition. © Asks Constructive Program. “What this country demands is con- structive and not destructive criticism. A constructivé program em g the declarations of the Democratic platform should be promptly developed. Above all things the function of a minority party is educational in character. It will not do for the rank and file of the American people to be intensely inter- ested in the issuc and party program for a couple of months before election and then permit that interest to die out when the result is announced. Political platforms and political promises are not self-enacting. “The political history of the United States clearly indicates that every pro- ive step, every Government reform, been won only after a period of persistent effort and by the slow process of educating the electorate. “The first and indispensable element of education is information. A full and complete presentation of the facts is easler to do today than it was years ago, with the use of the radio and the Increasing interest of our young e in the public affairs. It must re- membered that while the political Farty may seriously divide public thought and public opinion throughtout the country during the ress of the campaign, after the American people have made their decisior the man selected is not the presdent of the Republican party. but the President of the United Statcs. He is the President of all the people, and as such he is entitled to all the co-operation of every ecitizen in the development of a program calculated to promote the welfare and the best interests of this country. He is entitled to a fair opportunity to develop such a program. Only when he falls to accomplish it does his ad- ministration become the subject of proper criticism by the opposition party. | STAR, WASHINGTON, the good faith with the millions of those who f Premature criticism not only fails of its purpose but often results to the dis- advantage of the critic himself, Party Accountable to People. Party responsibility is not confined to its handling of governmental affairs. A political party also must be accountable to the people of the United States for the management of its internal affairs, and no political party can afford to ac- cept the support of forces for which it refuses to accept responsibility. It will not do to let bitterness, rancor or in- dignation over the result blind us to the one outstanding fact, that above every- thing else we are Americans. No mat- ter with what party we aligned our- selves on election day, our concern should be for the future welfare, hap- piness, contentment and prosperity of the American people. At this point I desire to express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart to the millions who voted for me, to the millions who worked for me, to the party leaders throughout the United States who rendered loyal service to the Democratic party and to our country. I want this to include the men and wom- en throughout the country not members of the Democratic party who took in- spiration from the progressive platform adopted at the Democratic convention and supported my declaration of pur- pose with respect to those purposes. Thousands of letters and telegrams have come to me asking that I not lose in- terest in the Democratic party. Will Fight for Party. Let me take this modern means of making reply to them, by making the definite statement that I do not re- gard the defeat of the Democratic party as impairing in the slightest degree the soundness of the principles for which it stands. I am just as anxious to see them succeed as when the party hon- ored me with the nomination, and with all the vigor that I can command I will not only stand for that—I will battle or it. It would be unnatural for me not to be disappointed at the result. Tonight, however, as I address these few re- marks to my friends all over the coun- try, I look back on my 25 years of public service. I recall when for the first time the Democratic party selected me, @ struggling youth, for an elective office as member of the Legislature. I recall my first official visit to the Cap- itol at Albany, and never shall I forget the thoughts that ran through my mind at that time. Many years later I felt that I had achieved my greatest am- bition when the Democratic party made me its standard bearer in the State. To _that party and to the people of this State, who have four times elected me as their chief executive, I shall al- ways be profoundly grateful. I have in a measure attempted to express that gratitude in the form of devotion to public service. In return for the confi- dence reposed in me by the people of my State I endeavored to administer the affairs of the State with an eye single to the welfare and the interest of her people. Pledges Interest in Nation. ‘The Democratic party this year con- ferred upon me the greatest honor it can offer to any of its members—the nomination for the presidency of the United States. Regardless of the oul come, in a spirit of the deepest appre- ciation of the opportunities afforded me and of the loyal support given me by upwards of fourteen and a half mil- Yons of my fellow citizens, I pledge my ncreas'ng interest and concern with public ~~~irs and the wellbeing of the Amer’ guyy ODle.
