". . . While I am, of course, delighted that we have saved most of the State administration of New York, the victory is clouded by the result of the National election.
"However, it is well worth remembering that Governor Smith has polled at least six million more votes than any previous Democratic candidate, and . . . the increase in the Democratic vote is far larger than that of our opponent. Certainly the Party is by no means out of the running."
