Honorable John FE. Fogarty
Harmony, Rhode Island

Dear Mr. Fogarty:

Since the end of August I have covered states on the Pacific
Coast, in the Middle West, in New England, in the border
states, as well as in the South, and I am convinced by every
thing I have seen that we can and will win again a Democratié
Congress by a good margin.

It is now becoming clear to the people that the Republicans
have no program - nothing but captious criticism, climbing
aboard any passing disturbance. I think the people are now
seeing through the Republicans’ propaganda campaign and realize
that it comes from the same old crowd who has been fighting us
ever since “oosevelt came to the Presidency.

I have found an overwhelming sentiment among the people to
retain and to extend the gains of the Democratic administration
both at home and abroad. The people realize that not to keep

a Democratic Congress means a disaster for them and for the
country. That, in my opinion, accounts for the enormous regis—
tration all over the country and the growing intensity of
interest in the campaign.

So, there is every reason for encouragement instead of discour-
agement. I thought you would not mind my passing on these
observations to you because of the many things to the contrary

we read in the press and in some of the polls. I am convinced

that the people are with us and if we can really fight in the closing
days of this campaign we can and will win a Democratic Congress

with a good working majority for the party and a great victory

on November 5th.

   
 
 

My very best wishes to you in your own campaign and king
regards to you personally.

Always sincerg

Ud V Feper—
