Roosevelt Third Term Bid Follows Chicago Convention
At the Chicago convention President Roosevelt listened to Mayor Ed Kelly’s draft speech via a portable radio as Mrs. Hattie Caraway arrived for a conference. The moment showed Roosevelt’s solemn mood before he praised Kelly’s oratorical address. Mrs. Caraway said she accepted the president’s candidacy as unavoidable. White House wires from Harry Hopkins kept Roosevelt informed of every development. Farley clashed with roll-call ambitions, insisting on his nomination and vowing to fight any short cut. Other notes reference Hu Shih, Mademoiselle From Armentieres, Latin American donors, and Kansas plans for Helen Woodring.
