What I did was to get some marketable goods before goin' to the leaders.

What do I mean by marketable goods?
Let me tell you: I had a cousin, a young man who didn't take any particular interest in politics.

I went to him and said: "Tommy, I'm goin' to be a politician, and I want to get a followin'; can I count on you ?" He said: "Sure, George".

That's how I started in business.

I got a marketable commodity----one vote.
