Presidential Candidate Franklin D Roosevelt Listening To the Actor Will Rogers Pledging His Support To His Presidential Campaign, 1932. USA. 'In typical style, Will Rodgers pledges his support to FDR. "Here tonight, Governor, you are not allowed to refer to politics. They won't let anyone talk politics in here because this stadium is dedicated to art, sport, and er, any er, useful enterprises. [You are] here tonight, not as candidate Roosevelt, but as neighbour Roosevelt from the other side of the Rocky Mountains. Now this introduction hasn't been very er, learned, or very flowery, but remember, you're only a candidate. [FDR laughs]. As a president, I'll do right by you, because I'm certainly wasting no oratory on a prospect".' From "Time To Remember - Around the Corner", 1932 (Reel 4); diary of events in 1932 in the United States of America - Franklin Roosevelt becomes the President.
