Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I accept as a fact that I can count on full cooperation and unity between the conduct of the affairs of New York State and those of the national Government if you are elected."

"I want to make it perfectly clear that I meant what I said—that you are without any question the best qualified of all the candidates for the Governorship."

"I express the sincere hope that you and not Mr. Dewey will be our next Governor."

"Under you there will be no danger that the long series of enactments of liberal legislation for the benefit of the average citizen during the past three Governorships will be repealed or emasculated."
