From the stockyards in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention W N Y C is happy to bring you Governor and Mrs Averil her. First Mrs Harman how did you like the demonstration it took place on a for a few moments ago. Absolutely thrilling it was wonderful it was never so I think it's a logical is exciting to see so many friends and so many states and I thought I was led by odd grandson Yes I'm sorry I wanted Bobby. What did you think of his demonstration of how they had the best fun I think of anybody in this convention hall tonight this after. He wore a. Great time I think it lasted about forty five minutes it seems so at least. Thrilling to see this demonstration of friendship from so many states and also I'm told by those who came reported to make. A run around the whole. Delegation after delegation gets up to delegates stick to it we have a. Growing strength on the convention floor. We have programmatic but you know before I was a candidate. Saying that they're going to come to us and second about you know governor to clarify some of the situation I think that's going on in New York City you are aware of course of the fact that Mayor was parading during your demonstration Oh yes I was I saw him then made me money pleased up in a great sport of Bob Wagner he's a great man and I was pleased to see him they are good friends and I'm glad to see him join the parade and I think this year we've had the strongest we've had the New York delegation masala and I think that going into a convention and many many decades perhaps. To see. Jim fall as well he has been so he supported me for the governorship and seems suppose. He has many friends and these are almost Democratic Party where you don't know when you have a chance now to return downtown Chicago or you're going to remain here until the call is taken to see how we're going to cross the street to the club here on we're going to have some engine out you have to eat at these conventions this although there's a lot of other things to do. Some of my friends and advisers. Will be back here on eight o'clock I think it's called The Time eight o'clock Chicago time eight o'clock Chicago time is right now one of the things that I've noticed at this convention and one of man's name is placed in nomination for the presidency is usually not present at the convention hall you were not at the Hall of where did you see that now we have a dugout right close by. Recording this interview. We have a good television set I want to thank you television companies for all the splendid mountain which they're keeping us informed of what's going on not all show that the television watchers don't get a better view of better understanding of what's going on than even those that are on the floor itself Mary was in the box next to President President Truman and I think she told me she picked herself go she's here. You want to get a piece of the show when you are on the floor itself whereas the when you are watching on television you see it all from one spot to another governor you said that Mrs Hiraman was in a box which box where you sitting in Journey demonstration where I was in my box with gales. And the president felt my sweat and sat in his box where I am sitting within a radius to where they said yeah I'm the devastation I'm back to life sometime but as president I want it gone on to the rostrum to build a second Yes MARTIN What did what I'd like to get the reaction of both of you both you Governor when Mr Chairman. How does it feel to have a former president the United States not only second your nomination but come out as strongly as he has for you but many many very proud is now in that understands the problems of the present say better than he does the fact that he thinks I'm qualified makes me very proud. That God could lead the country and lead the world of this event full time in history I worked for him for ages he knows me knows the good things about me and I guess he knows those things that we all have failings but the fact that he believes I'm qualified makes me my brother not throw the disinfecting many delegates who on the side move them are undecided still and of course it affects those who are committed who for one dollar will be free to come after the first ballot not very much encourage and I want everyone listening in in New York. To feel encouraged that the governor is out here and we have friends all of the United States. Was evident that the demonstration today there were delegations got up from. Every state there were some of the most every state marching around during your demonstrations Yes not just that a man that they were not only supporting me but it was a tribute to the great state of New York in the city of New York it certainly is and you also gave a great deal of credit to the television industry and I also would like to say though that there are a number of people I think the audience is divided between radio and we have been trying to be as objective as possible in bringing this convention to the listeners Oh yes I want to say radio because part of the time I've been listening on radio you can get the speeches right well on radio I only spoke of television more because the president has all goes the way of the demonstration itself while we must take advantage of all eight electronic media. I guess I will just one more question I would like to ask you Governor ballot do you believe that you will be nominated Well I'm not a crystal. Gay's I think after the first ballot will we will gain strength. From all the bugs Obama selves fog are going to win and what are your plans I have to tell this evening after I'm not plans I haven't thought ahead though I've pretty much occupied much going on just not very historic convention and that's what we're concentrating on we'll go back they'll tell of course you know we get we need some sleep occasionally so that seems to be that seems to interfere with convention I do it is but one must have a few hours sleep certainly doesn't Governor this unfortunate the first time we've been able to bring you to the W N Y C microphone and joined us from mention we. Just had a personal interview we have cost brought some of your talks from other meetings throughout the city and I must say to help you and Mrs Harmon to all of held up very very well on this train we watched you thinking about from the city both down town and to the convention hall and also taking pop and quite a number of different caucuses and demonstrations and I must thank you for taking time out on a very very busy and crucial day as today to spend a few moments with everyone when I say well you know Mary and I both like people so much so that it isn't a strain to go around and see people meet them and talk with them we learn a lot we make new friends and it is really an experience and learn drawing and thorough and that's why both of us I think as you say standing up because ROOM John.
