ROOSEVELT HEADQUARTERS
Room 1102 Congress Hotel

Chicago, Ill.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Alabama came here to help nominate Franklin D.
Roosevelt. We propose to stay here and vote for him
until that duty is accomplished. The Democratic Party
would be a joke throughout the nation if it should
yield its choice of a candidate. It weuld be cowardly
to yield! We are made of sterner stuff and we have no
thought of weakening or quitting the fight.

The Democratic electorate of this country
will not submit to the dictation of a few cities like
Jersey City, Tammany New York City and Boston, and we
will not submit to any orders.from them as to whom we

shall nOminate.

I have talked with my entire delegation and

they are all likeminded.

WM. W. BRANDON
Former Governor of Alabama and
Chairman of the State Delegation
