For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up. We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace--business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.

We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. ↗

— Franklin D. Roosevelt
