Roosevelt Brmgs to the People of the United States a New Hopefulness, His Great Humanity and Outstanding Executive Ability Render Him Eminently Fit to Solve the Grave Problems Which Face the Presidency Today. The Pres:dvnt and his mollwr, Mrs. James Roosevelt, who is here shown looking over congratulatory messages received by her distinguished son HE United States of America, emerging painfully from the slough of despond, pins its faith for the next four years upon one man, fastens its hopes upon his energies, his wisdom, his tal- ents and- his judicious exercise of in- vested powers. Despite assertions in many camps to the effect that no one man is to bear this appalling, if glorious, burden, the fact remains that Franklin D.

Every opinion is oe should be based upon the factual evie dence at hand. There is factual evidence to support my faith in the man who will lead our national destinies for the next Wide Wofld Photos, four years. This evidence indicates that the faith of a Nation is well founded, that the man chosen is fitted by every meas- uring rod for his exalted office. ‘We have heard much during the years that lie behind us of “presidential possi=« bilities,” “presidential timber,” so much, indeed, that the words have lost their pristine significance and have blurred with careless usage. Yet they are good phrases, once the heats ‘and passions of electoral contests have cooled and the American citizen finds it in his heart to soberly reflect upon the stuff of which good Presidents are made. Of what “timber,” then, is Franklin D. Roosevelf made? Once we analyze and determine that, it is pretty safe to pre< dict what we may expect of him during the trying years ahead.
