Senator
Charles

Mc-Nary
of

was
his
running
mate.
It
was
no
surprise
to
anybody,
therefore,
when
the
Democratic
convention,
meeting
in
Chicago,
renominated
Mr.
Roosevelt.
More
surprising
because
hardly
expected
at
all
was
Mr.
Roosevelt's
choice
of
his
Secretary
of
Agriculture,
Henry
Agard
Wallace
of
Iowa,
to
be
Vice-Presidential
nominee.
In
1933,
Mr.
Roosevelt
had
started
his
career
as
a
Presidential
precedent-breaker
by
appearing
personally
before
the
Democratic
convention
to
accept
me
nomination.
He
followed
the
same
procedure
in
1936,
But
in
the
busy
war
year.
1940,
he
remained
at
the
White'
House
and
delivered
his
acceptance
to
the
convention
by
radio,
saying
he
was
moved
to
break
the
historic
two-term
tradition
only
because
of
the
"storm"
raging
in
Europe.
One

Engrossed
in
questions
of
defease
and
foreign
policy,
Mr.
Roosevelt

from

But
Mr.

the
"old

as
he
dubbed
himself,
was
approximately
4,000,000
ballots
ahead,
and
he
received
449
electoral

hardly

appeared
in
better
spirits
than
at
his
semi-weekly
press

which
were
enjoyed
both
by
himself
ana
me
press.
They
were
noted
for
their
informality.
At
times
the
President
would
tell
question-firing
reporters
where
to
get
off
describing
some
querle
as
"silly,"
"lffey
,
0r
"too
general."
When
he
had
no
news
on
a
subject
and
reporters
got
too
persistent,
he
would
say:
"Really,
If
1
had
to
write
a
story
on
that.
I
wouldn't
know
what
to
say."
Sometimes
he
would
suggest
what
the
newsmen
should
emphasize
In
their
"lead."
He
very
seldom
got
angry.
He
showed
his
appreciation
of
a
good
story
or
Joke
by
remarking
with
a
broad
smile:
"I
love
it;
I
Jove
It."
He
enjoyed
teasing
people
in
their
presence,
but
one
day
the
laugh
was
on
him.
"When

he
was
asked
at
a
press
conference.
"I'm
not
going
to
make
any,"
was
the
serious
reply.
"The
law
says
you
must
make
a
report
every
90
days,"
the
reporter
came
back.
"Oh,
I
believe
you
are
right,"
the
President
replied,
surprised,
and
turned
to
a
secretary
to
have
a
report
prepared.
The
blue
and
gray
suits
the
President
wore
hung
loosely
on
his
big
frame.
He
rarely
wore
a
vest.
He
disliked
the
confining
fonnal
dress
of
officialdom.
Ships
and
Stamps
Collecting
ship
models
and
na
val
prints
and
stamps
were
other
hobbies.
He
had
about

ship
models
scattered
around

and
at

homes.

The
President's
principal
reading
matter
was

He
rarely
had
time
for

unless
they
were

ones.
When
he
did
he
read

and
some
mysteries.
His
collection

He
was
the

Democrat
to
carry
his

district
in
30
years.
This,
combined
with
his
name
and
the
fact
that
he
challenged
Tammany
on
a

and
later
at
the
1912
national
convention
in
supporting

him
as
an
"upstate"
leader.
That
won
for
him
the
post
of

of

Navy
in
1913.
