By the Associated Press. SACRAMENTO, Calif., September 23 —Following is the full text of the speech Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt. D>mocratic presidential nominee, de- livered here yesterday: “I am exceedingly glad to be here with you in the capital of this splendid | n State of California. I have often bee: in California before, and I greatly ad- mire and respect your State. Many Words of praise could not approach the eentiment that I can convey to you in a simple statement made many years ago by a great foreign statesman. In| speaking of America and the various | States of America he said that there is one State that has within itself all of | the elements to make a great nation, | and that State is California. “I cannot begin to tell you how I| have been impressed and pleased by this trip which I have taken. From East to West I find that, while the peo- ple of this ‘country are suffering the | Tesults of a great depression—perhaps | the greatest in history—there is abroad | in the land hope and courage and a de- | termination that better things are | ahead. “I might almost say ‘Happy days are | here again,” or at least they will be soon, if I may judge by“the reception I have had. And I want to say that you people here in California have already | given me a happy day. Declares Party Lines Cut. “There is another principle that I am stressing wherever I speak that I| know is in line with the fundamental ideas of your State, and that is that in this campaign there is going to be less following of party lines than ever before in history. i “The people of this country have come to believe that what this country needs is new leadership, and that the battle we are waging is a battle for new | leaders; not a mere change of party; not a mere change of the party em-| blem: not a mere change of names, but | 8 change of principle—a ‘new deal,’ my | friencs. | “In my acceptance speech I called | upon progressive Americans, regardless | of party, to join me in this campaign. “T have had remarkable response to this invitation.

Roosevelt in a recent presidential campaign ad- dress, would “put the power trust out of business.” ‘The senior Nebraska Senator ex- pressed pleasure at being home, and said he will remain here until after the November election. Norris, a Republican, but who has given his support to the candidacy of the New York Governor, said he would not make a campaign speech nor dis- cuss politics at the Roosevelt meeting here September 28. Norris said he ex- pected only to introduce the Democratic candidate. Regarding the utility issue, the Sena- tor said “I think Gov. Roosevelt was clear in his position on the question.

The magic evoked by the altruistic slogans preached by the La Follettes has been dissipated. The fight was won in part by organization on the part of con- servatives.
