Every straw vote...
1:01:06
...every independent poll shows
that I will be elected.

1:01:11
Very well.
1:01:13
Now I can afford to make some promises.
1:01:26
The workingman and the slum child...
1:01:28
...know they can expect
my best efforts in their interests.

1:01:34
The decent, ordinary citizens know
that I'll do everything in my power...

1:01:38
...to protect the underprivileged,
the underpaid, and the underfed.

1:01:48
- Mother, is Pop governor yet?
- Not yet, Junior.

1:01:56
I'd make my promises now...
1:01:59
...if I weren't too busy
arranging to keep them.

1:02:07
But here's one promise I'll make...
1:02:11
...and Boss Jim Gettys knows I'll keep it.
1:02:15
My first official act
as governor of this state...

1:02:18
...will be to appoint a special district
attorney to arrange for the indictment...

1:02:23
...prosecution and conviction
of Boss Jim W. Gettys.

1:02:55
If the election were held today,
you'd be in by 100,000 votes.

1:02:58
- Gettys isn't even pretending.
- Pop.
