war was made at Gettysburg. The
turn in the tide in this crisis was
made in the last winter.
And just as after Gettysburg
long months of continual battle were
required to bring about the saving
OF the Union, in the same manner
we must continue the fight today to
recover our prosperity and to pre-
serve the social and political prin-
clples for which Abraham Lincoln
stood"
In 1860 as in 1929 the Presi-
oent said, "the country was unex-
pectedly faced with a great calam-
ity.
Then, as now, the disruptiye
forces gathered strength. and for
Time thei rprogress seemed ire
sistible.
Ihen, as now, the resources of
the nation were modified and or
gained in campaign that finally
ended the initial retreat.
The President denounced the
Democratic slogans and platform as
strangely reminiscent of those
'Woros) used by their predecessors
IN Chicago sixty-eight years ago.
lie added that again today, as in
1864, they call for change of lead
ership and policies at Washington.
Democrats Are Denounced !
The chief executive declared that
in spite Of the hardships of the
time, the nation in 1864 refused to
be swerved from a course that had
turned the retreat into an advance
1t declined emphatically to turn
aside to untried policies and ex-
pepimental leadership" he added.
The same alternatives are before
the country today that lay before it
IN that momentous campaign of |
nearly three quarters of a century
ago
The choice that the American
people made in 1864 was made on
Nov. 8. The choice they are called
to make in 1882 will be made on
Nov. 8. My fellow citizens, can we
doubt what the choice will be?"
