him to take the parts I wrote. I dealt with unemployment and what to do with unemployment. I came out for unemployment insurance, but specified that we were against the dole. I laid out a pattern of unemployment insurance that was not the dole. I wrote quite a lot of that speech because it was a speech full of social implications and belief that the government of the country had some responsibilities in this field. It was regarded as a very important speech later on. He got a great deal of recognition and affiliation by people all over the country, of whom there were hundreds of thousands by this time who believed in the modern movements for social justice and who were not horrified with the idea that the government should take part in them.

Of course, the politicians didn't realize how strong that movement was, how much the educational work that had been done by private agencies of one kind or another had promoted this attitude of social justice.

I worked on that kind of thing. I worked on speeches for him that would be made not only at the Governors conference, but at other places that would put him before the people of the country in the light in which I thought he ought to be and in which he ought to serve if he was ever elected to the Presidency of the United States. They were not unlike the same kind of thing that had been prepared for Al Smith
