Right Of Average Man Happier Life Real Issue-Rooevet

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The fol-
lowing is the Presidents Jackson
Day dinner speech:
This meeting tonight in the City
OF Washington is one of the many
hundreds being held throughout our
40 states and territorial possessions
and even on board ships at sea, in
honor of the memory of great
general and President, Andrew
Jackson. To all of you / extend my
most sincere and hearty greetings.
l am happy to stand here tonight
and declare TO you that the real issue
before the United States is the
right of the average man and
woman TO lead finer, better and
q happier life. That was the same
issue, more than 100 years ago, that
confronted Andrew Jackson.
speak tonight to this Democratic
meeting in the same language as il
! were addressing a Republican
s NoOiitlHlS, a. IlOSltSolNe gathering,
an independent gathering, a gather
ing of business men or gathering
of workers or of farmers. There is
nothing that say here tonight that
does not apply to every citizen in
the country no matter what his or
her political affiliations may be.
1t is true that we Americans have
found party organizations to be
useful, If not necessary, in the crys-
utilization of opinion and in the
demarcation of issues 1t is true
that l have received many honors
at the hands of one of our great
parties. 1t is nevertheless true that
in the grave questions that confront
the United States today l. as Presi-
dent Of the United States, must and
will consider our common problems
first, foremost and -eminently
from the American point of view.
