course will lead us to economic
disintegration and dictatorship.
I say that We must substitute
for the philosophy of spending.
the philosophy Of production.
You cannot buy freedom. You
must make freedom.
This is a serious charge. 1t is
not made lightly. And it cannot
be lightly avoided by the opposi-
ton.
I, therefore, have a proposal to
make.
The President stated in his
acceptance speech that he does
not have either the time or the
inclination to engage in purely
political debate I do not want
to engage in purely political de-
bate, either. But believe that
the tradition Of face to face de-
bate is justly honored among our
American political traditions.
believe that we should set an
example. at this time, of the
workings of American democracy.
And I do not think that the issues
at stake are purely political
In my opinion they concern the
life and death of democracy.
Proposed Platform Debates
Over Sections Of the Country.
I propose that during the next
two and a half months, the Pres
ident and I appear together on
public platforms in various parts
of the country, to debate the
fundamental issues of this cam
paign. These are the problems
of our great domestic economy, as
we'll as of our national defense:
the problems of agriculture, of
labor. of industry, of finance, of
the Governments relationship to
the people, and Of our prepara-
tons to guard against assault.
And also I would like to debate
the question Of the assumption
by this President, in seeking a
third term. of a greater public
confidence than was accorded to
our presidential giants, Wash
ington, Jefferson, Jackson. Lin
coin, Cleveland, Theodore Roose-
welt and Woodrow Wilson.
I make this proposal respect
fully to man upon whose
shoulders rest the cares of the
state. But I make 1t In dead
earnest.
l accept the nomination of the
Republican party for President
of the United States.
1 accept it in the spirit in
which I know it was given at our
convention in Philadelphia-the
spirit of dedication. 1 herewith
dedicate myself with all my
heart. with all my mind and with
all my soul to making this Ma
ton strong.
But say this. too. In the pur-
suit of that goal shall not lead
you down the easy road. If
am chosen the leader of this
democracy as I am now of the
Republican party, 1 shall lead
you down the road of sacrifice
and to service to your country.
Cannot Rebuild Democracy
without Hardship, Sacrifice.
What am saying is a far
harsher thing than I should like
to say in this speech of accept
ance-a far harsher thing than
I would have said had the Old
World not been swept by war

Text Of Wilkes Speech Accepting Republican Nomination

during the past year. I am say
ing to you that we cannot re-
build our American democracy
without hardship, without sacri-
flee, even without suffering. I
am proposing that course to you
as candidate for election by
you.
When Winston Churchill be-
came Prime Minister of England
q few months ago he made no
sugar-coated promises. Il have
nothing to offer YOU" he said,
but blood, toll, tears and sweat"
Those are harsh words, brave
words; yet, If England lives, it
will be because her people were
told the truth and accepted it.
Fortunately, in America, we are
not reduced to blood and tears"
But we shall not be able to avoid
the toll and sweat"
In these months ahead OF us
every man who works in this
country-whether he works with
his hands or with his mind-will
have TO work a little harder.
Every man and woman will feel
the burden of taxes. Every
housewife will have to plan a
little more carefully. I speak
plainly because you must not be
deceived about the difficulties of
the future. You will have to be
hard of muscle, clear of head,
brave of heart.
Today great institutions Of
freedom, for which humanity has
spilled so much blood, lie in ruins.
In Europe those rights of person
and property-the civil liberties
which your ancestors fought for,
and which you still enjoy, are vir-
tually extinct. And it is my pro-
found conviction that even here
in this country, the Democratic
party, under its present leader
ship, will prove incapable of pro-
tecting those liberties of yours.
Liberty Does Not Thrive
In Soil Of Class Against Class.
The Democratic party today
stands for division among our
people; for the struggle of class
against class and faction against
faction; for the power of political
machines and the exploitation Of
pressure groups. Liberty does not
thrive in such soil.
The only soil in which liberty
can grow is that of a united
people. We must have faith that
the welfare of one is the welfare
Of all. We must know that the
truth can only be reached by the
expression of our free opinions,
without fear and without rancor.
We must acknowledge that all
are equal before God and before
the law. And We must learn to
abhor those descriptive pressures,
NllClIlCl ICASlOOc' kJOA4blNoA VA
economic. that the enemies Of lib
erty employ.
The Republican party and
those associated with it consti-
tute a great political body that
stands pre-eminently for liberty
without commitments, without
fear and without contradictions.
This party believes that your
happiness must be achieved
through liberty rather than in
spite of liberty. We ask you to
turn your eyes upon the future,
where your hope lies. We see
written there the same promise
that has always been written
there: The promise that strong
men will perform strong deeds.
With the help of Almighty
Providence. with unyielding de-
termination and ceaseless effort,
We must and We shall make that
American promise come true.

New Deal Implants Hate
For Political Purposes.
As for me, I want to say here
and now that there is no hate in
my heart, and that there will be
none in my campaign. 1t is my
belief that there is no hate in
the hearts of any group of Amer
leans for any other American
group-except as the New Deal
ers seek to put it there for polit-
ical purposes. stand for a new
companionship in an industrial
society.
OF course, If you start like the
New Deal with the idea that we
shall never have many more au-
tomobiles or radios, that we can
not develop many new inventions
Of importance, that our standard
Of living must remain what it is,
the rest of the argument is easy.
Since q few people have more
than they need and millions have
less than they need, it is neces-
sary to redivide the wealth and
turn it back from the few to the
many.
But this can only make the
poor poorer and the rich less
rich. It does not really dis
tribute wealth. 1t distributes
poverty.
Because I am a businessman,
formerly connected with a large
company, the doctrinaires of the
opposition have attacked me as
an opponent Of liberalism. But
I was a liberal before many Of
these men had heard the word
and I fought for many Of the re-

Philosophy Of Production Must
Replace Spending Theory.

The New Deal stands for doing
what has to be done by spending
as much money as possible. I
propose to do 1t by spending as

and propose In this campaign
to make 1t clear.
And I make this grave charge
against this administration:
I charge that the course this
administration is following will
