"With the help of the farmers and the farm leaders themselves we began, for the first time, a farm program in this State." Roosevelt discussed his presidency and that under the leadership of Governor Herbert H. Lehman, the state has "the same kind of forward-looking liberal government, trying to take care of the great majority of the people, that we have been trying to maintain in Washington." Roosevelt then wrapped the speech up with, "My friends, I am mighty glad to come back into my own home state. It is a pretty fine state to live in."
