At the start of the 1936 campaign it was decided that the President should come to Philadelphia where the national convention was in session, to accept the honor before a night audience in Pranklin . field. Timid politicians thought it better to hold that meeting in the convention hall where a full house of 12,000 or so was assured. But Mayor Frank Hague of Jersye City, and some other practical political operators vetoed that apprehensive suggestion. They proposed that the acceptance speech he delivered in the largest available place—and they guaranteed to fill
