We stand for a nobler America We stand for an undivided nation We stand for broader liberty, full. CT justice. We stand for social brotherhood as against savage indi- vidualism. We stand for intelligent cooperation instead of a reckless competition. We stand for mutual helpfulness instead of mutual ha, tired. We stand for equal rights as fact of life instead of catch-word of policies
 We stand for the rule of the people as practical truth instead of mean ingless pretense. We stand for a resents the people.
 We mean to make laws fit con- d1tions as they are and meet the needs of the people who are on earth today. That We may do this, we found party through which all who believe with us can work with us, or rather We declare our allegiance to the party which the people them selves have founded
 For this party has grown from the soil of the peoples hard necessities It has the vitality of the peoples strong convictions. The people have work to be done and our party is here to do that work"
 MT. Beveriuge said that notorious bosses are in the saddle of both old parties and that under this boss sys. tenn no matter which party wins the people seldom win, but the bosses al ways win.
 "The South has men and women as genuinely progressive and others as genuinely reactionary as those in other parts of our country. Yet, for well known reasons, these sincere and honest Southern progressives and re dictionaries vote together in a single party which is neither progressive nor recationary. They vote a dead tradition and a local fear, not a liv- ing conviction and a national faith They vote not for the Democratic party, but against the Republican party. They want to be free from this condition; they can be free from it through the national progressive party"
 MT. Beveridge said American busi- ness is uncertain and unsteady com pared with the business of other na- tions.
