must not be allowed to slip back into the spirit of Encouragement and hopeiessness which was theirs in the dark days before he as- sumed the high office which he holds.
 Opponents Have No Plan "And what do his opponents promise as a substitute for the measures which our president has taken for the relief of his fellow men?
 Tt won't take long to answer that. The answer is Precisely Mo- thing. They have no remedy. They have no plan. They have absolute ly nothing but destructive criticism They say, Send us back and give us another chance. We had our chance and we failed, but we think we ought to have another.
 "Is there anything constructive in this? Is there anything of merit in their plea? don't think so, and I don't think you or any other group of people in this country will think so. That is the issue. and the only issue, upon which this campaign is being fought. ;. The question which you have to decide with your votes is very simple. On November 9th, you will be asked this question, Do you wish to go forward or to go back ? I have no doubt as to what your electing the straight democratic ticket, by supporting our presid lent and by preventing a return of the tA1 Il conditions nf fvpn :, ago."
 Mir Fitzpatrick Speaks MT Fitzpatrick said: "It is nec- essary, for the benefit of the re- | cord, that explain my presence on this platform. I am not O can. didate for public office, never have been, and never expect to be. I am interested, in the cause of socia and economic justice. that the en. tire democratic state ticket be I elected am concerned in the well fare of the man at the bottom o1 the heap more than am in ths man on the top of 1t because have been under the pile myself | and I know what it means I be lieve that for the first time 1T shameful decades the occupant oi l the White House Is a man wh( | remembers that American human. ity is made in the image and like ness of God and not the robot ere. ation of soul-less finance and con scienceless industry. believe tha President Roosevelt has accom- plished a tremendous amount O. good in nineten months, believe he ought to be supported by every man and woman of good will,
 believe the men on the democra. tic state ticket are willing and eager to work with him. That Is the reason I am with them and the reason I am here tonight. I have another creed which wish to recite briefly, I believe that in any contest where the stakes are worth while, where there is necessarily a clash of ideas and ideals, the rules of common de. cency being observed. none of the participants has any right to com. plain of black eye or a bloody nose he collects during the scrimmage I believe if am foolish enough tc lead with my chin have no just cause for complaint if my adver. sary socks me on the jaw with al he's got.
 "So if during the course of thii talk I am guilty of any breach ol platform etiquette I would like yot to remerber my inexperience that I differentiate between the sin. ner and his sin. and that what ask for myself am perfectly will ling to allow the other fellow However I know of no obligation of good manners which shoult compel me to say to the man witl a knife at my carotid artery, Par don me sir, you are cutting m! throat.
