FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT WOMEN'S CLUB OF SPRINGFIELD,
AT NOON, APRIL 12, 1938
Ladies of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Women's Club
of Springfield and all other good people who are here:-
It is a very great pleasure to be with you today.
I have a very kindly feeling for this section of Missouri,
probably because I am more familiar with it than with
other parts of the State. I've always 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 as cordially as if I had been your
choice in the primary. I am very sure 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 always to be a public servant after election and
there are never any political scars on me.
