4
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:14.380
sufficient votes to put Adlai Stevenson over the top. 67.

5
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:42.240
Mr. Chairman, as chairman of the Oklahoma delegation, in addition to that, I'm authorized

6
00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:52.880
to speak for Governor Harriman. We are stating that we believe, of course, in the great democratic

7
00:01:52.880 --> 00:02:03.340
principle that the majority rule and we want to at this time move that the convention unanimously

8
00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:20.220
support Governor Stevenson. The governor of Oklahoma, a delegate to this convention,

9
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:28.900
moves to suspend the rules and make the nomination of Governor Stevenson by

10
00:02:29.780 --> 00:02:31.920
those in favor of both eyes.

11
00:02:34.600 --> 00:02:36.300
There are no no.

12
00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:13.620
Mr. Chairman, fellow delegates, fellow Democrats and guests of the convention,

13
00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:23.780
I have presumed to ask this special favor that I could appear here for but a moment.

14
00:03:24.660 --> 00:03:36.420
My heart is full and I am deeply grateful. The responsibility of the presidency has grown so

15
00:03:36.420 --> 00:03:53.680
great that the nation's attention has become focused as never before on the office of the

16
00:03:54.480 --> 00:03:56.120
for the presidency.

17
00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:07.600
In these circumstances, I have concluded to depart from the precedence of the past.

18
00:04:08.980 --> 00:04:12.740
I have decided that the selection of the vice presidential nominee

19
00:04:12.740 --> 00:04:16.400
should be made through the free processes of this convention.

20
00:04:20.520 --> 00:04:31.380
Again, my heartfelt thanks and may God be with you.

21
00:04:46.900 --> 00:04:47.460
So

22
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.600
Governor Stevenson, are you and Governor Harriman going to work together very closely on this

23
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.320
campaign? I'm sure we will. I'm happy that the war is over.
