For thousand years the whites, the Anglo
6axons, have had all these advantages. Armed
with the garnered wealth Of 10 centuries,
equipped with all the mental advantages Of

land, all the avenues of commerce, all the
sources OF political power, outnumbering tho

All this they have done, and they are proud
of it! But one thing they have not done, nor
will they ever do! They have not planted one
doubt in my soul, one fear in my heart, nor one
recreant word upon my lips With whatever
strength it pleases God to give me, the future
shall find me where past has put me-in the
vanguard of those who love Jefferson's creed

The work that l did somebody had to do.
The abuse took somebody had to incur. The
losses have sustained somebody had to dare
did the work, took the abuse, risked the loss,
and l am proud OF it! Proud of my record,
proud of my principles, proud of my friends!
Four years ago the plain people took me up

and plant their banner where the fight was
heaviest. AS sacredly as man ever achieved

Comrades! Here is one man who honors YOU
today more highly than in the hours of your
| greater prosperity and who will share to the

| Right is everlastingly right. Wrong is eter-

| can alter principle, and that man who flies
| the field and abandons the cause at the ap-
! proach of danger and at the discouragements
! of defeat is at heart q ptiful coward or an in
| famous renegade!
Today-Jefferson's day-let us pledge our
selves anew to the holy mission of bringing

| Let US go hence with new fires of purpose blaz.

| And the prayer of this publican is for a new
era in the affairs Of the republic; reign of the
best men and the best laws to the end that the
land may be blessed; that industry may pros
per in all her fields, commerce in all her marts
that honesty may be cherished in all her rulers.
