He carried the same message to the politicians who chewed cigars in the back seat of his campaign limousine and to the ladies who sipped pink punch while he spoke from the rose-wreathed platform of the Hackensack Women's Club.

The work, which hangs in the President's living quarters, was painted last year by Manhattan Artist Thomas E. Stephens (no kin but an old Greenwich Village friend of White House Appointments Secretary Thomas E. Stephens).
