sectional bitterness, to be a batter
of racial and religious minorities to
get back That is what happened to
Tom Watson of Georgia and many of
our best Southerners; for me it will
not happen
1 voted nationally always, and for
progress l never cast a sectional
vote. I never demagogued on our seri-
Gus questions, and stood for civil
liberties. I have no regrets. There
is not word I have said nor a vote
l cast that would not be the same
If I had the opportunity
There is no reason why I should
not have hard times like the 10000, 900
who are still unemployed. The same
dose was given La Guardia, one of
the best men in America. Who am l
to complain?
In fact, since the war l have worked
day and night without vacation-now
I shall enjoy the pleasant obscurity
thrust upon me How long l do not
know, but whatever happens. nothing
will dim my spirit. and l will stand
by the people. for civil liberty and
economic justice

Secret of Success.
This mild radio -four salesman. who
mounted a sound truck with hill
