Summary As the climax of his campaign, the President carries the fight into enemy territory and uses his heaviest ammunition on his political opponents before a crowd of 20,000 that jams the vast Madison Square Garden to the eaves. Loud speakers take his words to over-flow meetings and a national hook-up makes it country-wide. A monster gathering in Newark in the afternoon and an elaborate and wildly demonstrative parade from the Pennsylvania Station to the great sports arena in the evening, precede his Gotham platform appearance. The high-light of the Republican candidate’s pre-election activities – a clarion call to his supporters that is expected to turn the tide in his favor.
