Ledies of the Franklin D. Roosevolt Nomen's Club of Springfield and all
other good people who are heret-
It is a very great pleasure to be with you today. I have e very kindly
feeling for this section of Missouri, probably beceuse I am nore familiar with
it than with other parts of the State. I've alwaye come to this part of the
State for vacations, for rest and recreation and also because I have so many
good friends in Springfield and adjoining counties. I came to this part of the
State very soon after I had been nominated for the Senate and while you seemed
to prefer that very able and genial Congressman from St. Louis, John J. Cochran,
you treated me just a.8 cordially as if I had been your choice in the primary.
I am very aure you would have given your native son a Republican majority over
Mr. Cochran just about as large as you did over me. I have tried alweys to
be a public servant after election and there are never any political scars on
me.
I am also very fond of your able and distinguished Congressmen, the
Honorable Ruben T. Wood. He has been a consistent Administration supporter and
has very capably represented the great Sixth District of Missouri in the House
of Representatives at Washington.
I believe thet the good women of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Club are very
much interested in peace abroed and sefety and security at hone. It 1a a set
policy of these United Stetes to stay out of foreign entanglements and I am
very happy that is the policy under present conditions abroad. That policy
was inaugurated with Washington, continued under Jefferson and is our policy
to this day.
