john: he did well in new york. he always did well in new york city. he did extraordinarily well in his own district. but he just couldn't make it up over the whole state. the other question, what was the other? peter: well, did he win new york city? do you know off hand if he won in 1928? john: oh, i don't recall. i don't think he did. peter: not even in new york city? john: new york city also had outer boroughs that had republican dominance, which is still the case in staten island. but in but in pockets of queens as well. peter: social security? john: the issue on social security is something that smith had tried to implement in new york state when it came to widows and orphans' pensions. he tried to experiment with health insurance for industrial workers, and he also tried to do all kinds of social security issues when it came to trying to support those that were downtrodden, make-work projects were something that he had experimented with, and it might have been one of those programs he would have carried into the new deal had he won. johnprof. gag

so in each of these let me just remind you of the new york angle. the first one, george washington, he's picking a new yorker, john jay, educated just right down the road here at columbia to be his chief justice, so an obvious new york angle in that one. what makes in two words thomas jefferson president in 1800, you could say the sedition act or you could say new york. aaron burr. that's the swing state. adams and jefferson are running against each other and jefferson comes in second and then they do the rematch in 1800 and jefferson prevails and that's because he gets burr to help him win new york. new york is the swing state in that election so it's looming very, very large. it was burr against hamilton here on this island. whoever won the island would win the state, whoever won the state would win the presidency setting up this confrontation. now, i admit that the third faceoff doesn't have as much of a compelling new york angle, lincoln and tawney and neither of them is quite a new yorker, but lincoln does rise to prominence and mansion to win a

that was bill in pawling, new york. mike, stanton island, new york. >> caller: yes. i'd like to ask mr. smith, if mr. dewey had won the 1944 election, what would his policy as far as ending the war? >> 1944 did you say? >> caller: yeah. >> mike? okay. >> i think, well, you know, it's a fair question, but i think if you look at the calendar and you see where the armies were in january of 1945, i think at that point, obviously, the nazi defeat was only a question of time. the larger question, of course, of for example, yalta, how dewey might have conducted diplomacy differently if it had been him meeting churchill and stalin. >> and what about the atomic bomb? do you think dewey would have done that? >> you know, it's hard for me to believe that any president, after we'd spent $2 million to do this thing, knowing that if he didn't use the bomb, and if the war were prolonged, quite frankly, he'd be subject to impeachme impeachment. i mean, what was the point of -- you know, i mean, i think this retrospective argument over truman and whether it was moral to use the bomb

with the excruciating high humidity, we have a heat advisory in effect for the five boroughs of new york city. southern parts of new jersey. we have on the radar a couple cells developing ahead of the main line of storms. one little downpour over central part of the county. we're watching this line along of warren county. downpours there. stronger storms south of scranton. we'll have to watch those as they approach northern warren and parts of sussex county in new jersey over the next several hours. these storms have a history of producing wind damage. we'll keep a close eye on the radars. the good news is for new york city, they tend to weaken as they move toward the five boroughs. we'll keep an eye on it just in case. behind it, a little bit of relief in the humidity department. we'll detail that in your full accuweather forecast. loose in queens. for two weeks tonight, a man who sexually assaulted and murdered a young woman jogging by herself in howard beach. tonight friends and family of karina vetrano gathering not so much to look for any clues, but perhaps looking for something mor

>> well, it made new york one of the most republican states in the country. i mean, from being one of the most democratic states, the state that gave us fdr, gave us al smith, gave us the new deal. dewey had -- we haven't mentioned herbert lehman, the man he almost defeated in 1938, the man who had appointed him the gang buster several years earlier. herbert lehman was a very distinguished and very popular governor who was a huge favorite to win another term, and it's a tribute to the campaign, the excitement that dewey created that lehman won in the end by 1%, and four years later, there was no doubt that, you know, dewey would win. the first republican in 20 years, and he went on to build an organization. some might call it a machine, but it was an odd organization. it was a good government machine, if you can imagine such a thing. >> john in -- go ahead. >> i'm not sure that i would -- organization, yes, machine, no, because it didn't outlive him. >> yeah. you're right. it didn't outlive him, but, you know, machines can be personal. rather than ideological

will it be low voter turnout trend in new york city? now the city's five borough presidents deciding to try to do something about it. they're participating in what they're calling "the battle of the boroughs" to get out the vote. it's not really a battle, of course. it's a friendly contest, but one that could change voting history. good morning, everyone. welcome to "upclose." i'm bill ritter. the percentage of new yorkers voting in the last couple of city elections not exactly earning any good citizenship awards. in the midterm election two years ago, 29% of eligible their ballots. in the 2013 mayoral election in the city, only 24% of registered voters went to the booth. now a big effort to try to jump-start a get-out-the-vote campaign and increase voter turnout. and that campaign, led by the five borough presidents of new york city, the league of women voters of the city of new york, and we here at wabc-tv channel 7. as it happens, two of the borough presidents are here with us this morning -- gale brewer of manhattan, ruben diaz jr.

syracuse, new york. and towns not big enough. and he had relatively sometimes, major figures on the way up, and both george burns, and actually mae west also claims that he helped her, gave her, her start on stage. the point about all this, is he wasn't a nobody. but he kept his dreams always surpassed his income. [laughter] >> in 1904 he had the dream, enough with the surkit it's time for the bernstein circuit. he gathered together 17 theaters, in places like scranton, harrisburg, and guaranteed them split fee entertainment. bernstein production and it worked like a charm until he had to change acts. the fact is, that in vaudeville, the only way to get people coming back, is there had to be something new each monday. and the problem was, the gate receipts weren't big enough to book a second tier of good acts. so he had to book a second tier of very bad eangts. [laughter] >> the gate receipts such, that there was only enough money for one train ticket out of town. [laughter] >> i will let you guess who got it. in vaudeville he sp

and all of these new york is number 50 no matter what we do. if you're moderate pro-choice or strong pro-choice depending on which of those you choose new hampshire and alaska might trade off number one and number two so again, yeah, you could quibble with some so our weights on the variables that, in fact, if you like you can download our spreadsheets and create your own personalized index. part of this is about generating a conversation about freedom but you'll probably find that while the states move around a little bit, it will be very, very difficult l to get new york to higher than number 25 or something like that or new hampshire lower than number 25. and so with that we'd like to offer a little bit of time for q q&a and i believe peter has some questions for us as well. thank you very much.

new york was the cradle of the new deal, the home of herbert's liberalism. so for them to announce that and based upon that victory was in the air was completely understandable. 1948 -- what we didn't know going into 1948, what 1948 confirmed was that america had, in fact, become a new deal country. the death of franklin roosevelt had ended one presidency. but the approach to government, the expectation that government would be more involved, for example, in ensuring prosperity, that government would be used to fight economic downturns as the new deal had in the '30s and the '40s. whether or not you believe -- and dewey, frankly, happened to have grave doubts about the success of those efforts. but nevertheless, the assumption was when fdr died, the new deal died with him. and the set of expectations, the relationship between the average american and his government, which had been transformed by the new deal, turns out that wasn't the case. on election day 1948, americans enjoyed record prosperity, record employment. the reason the republicans in spite of th

which owns riis' new york photographs. there's a great paradox to riis' photographs which is that he was a journalist and he was a celebrity and he saved all of the documentation of his career. he wanted to be remembered for posterity. he created scrapbooks, he saved his manuscripts. every scrap of paper. and he abandoned his photographs because he didn't even think they were of any value apart from his words, apart from his arguments and his articles and his publications. and the way they were discovered is really fascinating story. there was a photographer, riis died in 1914. in 1940s, a photographer named alexander land noticed in riis' book how the other half lives that on the title page it says with illustrations after photographs by the author. so he said to himself, well, where are these photographs? and after several years of searching, he tracked down riis' son and with much coercing got riis' son to try to find the pictures which turned out to be in the attic of the family's home in queens, new york, that was abo

that's the story of his activism in new york city. and we have here in our case on allies the basic story of the bromance between theodore roosevelt and jacob riis. they first met in 1894 when a new administration was elected in new york city that was a reform administration under mayor william strong. and it's often described as the good government movement. and in that one brief administration, a lot of the social reforms that riis had been recommending as well as the other people in his network of reform were manifested including better sanitation. one of the things that strong was famous for was appointing a sanitary engineer who created the white wings, who were sanitary workers that wore pristine white uniforms and at one point paraded down fifth avenue as a kind of army of sanitation. but the issue that theodore roosevelt and riis worked on primarily was the closing of police lodging houses. and the way they met was that mayor strong appointed theodore roosevelt as police commissioner during his administration and the police hea

he campaigns around upstate new york. he turns out the new york city vote. he wins by a very slight margin. he gets in there. in 1920, the legislature crosses its arms and says we will not do any of these things. peter: the republican legislature? john evers: the republican assembly and senate. smith starts the campaign by saying, we will have a reconstruction commission capitalizing on the transition from a wartime economy to the private sector economy. he starts saying he is going to strengthen -- we are going to bond so we can have capital improvement spread out for many years instead of the infrastructure starts to crumble. he has a lot of these great ideas. the legislature says this guy will never win in 1920. that will be the presidential year. back then, new york governors ran at the same time the president ran. the coattails were long. smith gets reelected in 1920. he has very little to show -- he loses in 1920. he has very little to show what he goes up in 1920. they run a very conservative, upstate republican who wins. sure enough, al smith goes aw

but new york was always and only about getting and spending. the dutch had founded it as new amsterdam, as the trading post to take furs from the iroquois indians, ship them back to holland. as the fur traffic died and withered, they traded others. the english acquired the city, but it kept its character. i am sure you all know the founding myth of new york. that it was bought from the indians for $24 in beads, and tools by peter minuit in 1624. and the way the myth is usually told is that the indians were cheated, because for $24 they gave up manhattan island, worth billions and billions now. but i have heard some tellings of the myth, and that the indians who sold manhattan did not live here, they were just passing through. there may have been doubledealing on both sides. but myths always tell the truth. and the truth of that myth is that the soul of new york is commerce. that is why people live here, to make it, to get ahead. so, hamilton was coming for one -- from one commercial place, to another very commercial, innately commercial, place.

it made a lot of beneficial difference to the state of new york including the fact that new york city became the only port that could export and import goods making it the financial capital of america. in ohio, we have a fellow by the name of alfred kelly who became the canal commissioner and really took it on as his lifelong legacy, if you will, to make sure that canal got built, built kind of on time and under budget. ohio and erie canal is 309 miles in length. it goes from cleveland to portsmith ohio on the ohio river. the actual construction of the canal began in 1825. by 1827, july 4th, the first boat from akron to cleveland got through the canal port in cleveland. by 1832, the entire system was complete from cleveland all the way to the ohio river. it made a tremendous difference. for the nation, it allowed us to start to rationalize our economy. it allowed us to have internal trade. prior to that, all the seaboard states depended on exporting in terms of making money and delivering goods and services. so this actually helped america expand westward. by doing so, i mentioned new
