 Where Fight Is Aimed
 "We fight only against that kind of concentrated wealth and econo- mic power which in the old days used to dictate not only to the bus mess of the nation but to govern ment itself-that small minority ot financial interests whose concern was not the welfare of the nation not the welfare of business in Amer ica, but solely the extension of their own power.
 Tt is the glory of America that the standard of living is higher here than in any country or at any time in the history of the world. The underlying issue in every political crisis of our country has been be- tween tho-e who, laying emphasis on human rights have sought tc exercise the power of the govern ment for the many and those whc have sought to exercise the power of government for the few.
 we now are coming to learn that the interests of the few were best served when the interests of the many were best Safeguarded.
 That is our fight now. It will be won as 1t has always been won in America since the day on which the members of the continental congress declared inalienable the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness"
 Business Not Frightened
 The president led up to his attack by observing that "the business men of America, the investors in busi- ness, in enterprises, are going tc show on November that they have not been frightened or fooled by the expensive propaganda of those whc would seek to spread the gospel o1 fear-fear that this administration Is antagoniStic to business"
 Read the record" he challenged "of what we have done for business and you will find the answer to that charge. I repeat here that the rec ord shows that no administration in the history of the United States has done so much to encourage the bus mess of the nation.
 Back in the spring of 1883. the whole system of free enterprise and private profit was on the edge oi ruin. It had been dragged there by the same leaders who are now try ing to scare you. It was because o1 our determination to keep the American system that we succeeded n doing what we did at a time when the system was almost buried under the ruins.
 Public Not Fooled Few of the public are being fool. ed this year."
 Before specifically singing out "the great financial district of New York, the president traced econ- omic gains in the last three and half years and pointed to methods of his administration designed to increase purchasing power of tho wage earner as a primary step to- ward increase purchasing power Ci 1t ehwage earner AS a primary step toward recovery.
