II.-Soved Our System Of
Free Enterprise

Beginning March. 1888, the Demo-
cratic Administration took a series
of actions which saved our system
of free enterprise.
1t brought that system out of
collapse and thereafter eliminated
abuses which had imperiled it.
1t used the powers of government
to provide employment in industry
and to save agriculture.
1t wrote a new Magma Charta for
labor.
1t provided social security, in
cluGing old-age pensions. unemploy-
ment insurance, security for crippled
and dependent children and the
blind. 1t established employment
Offices. 1t provided Federal bank
deposit insurance, flood prevention
soil conservation and prevented
abuses in the security markets. 1t
saved farms and homes from fore
closure and secured profitable prices
for farm products
1t adopted an effective program
of reclamation, hydroelectric power
and mineral development.
1t found the road to prosperity
through production and employ
ment.
We pledge the continuance and
Improvement of these programs.

l.-Awokened the Nation
Before War Come

Before war came, the Democratic
administration awakened the Ma
ton, in time, to the dangers that
threatened its very existence.
It succeeded in building, in time
the best-trained and equipped Army
in the world. the most powerful
Navy in the world, the greatest Air
Force in the world and the largest
merchant marine in the world.
It gained for our country, and it
saved for our country, powerful
Allies.
When war came, it succeeded in
working out with those Allies an
effective grand strategy against the
enemy.
1t set that strategy in motion and
the tide of battle was turned.
1t held the line against wartime
imitation.
1t insured a fair Share-and- share
alike distribution Of food and other
essentials.
. 1t Is leading our country to cer.
tain victory.

for lustinu Peace

That the world may not again be
drenched in blood by international
outlaws and criminals, we pledge:
To join with the other United Ma
tlons in the establishment of an
international organization based on
the principle of the sovereign equal
ity OF ali peace-loving states, open
to membership by all such states.

OF aggression and the maintenance
OF international peace and security;
To make all necessary and effec-

through which the nations would
maintain adequate forces to meet
the needs of preventing war and of
making impossible the preparation
for war and which would have such
forces available for joint action
when necessary.
Such organization must be en-
dowed with power to employ armed

We favor the maintenance of an
international court of justice OF
which the United States shall be a
member and the employment of
diplomacy, conciliation, arbitration

World peace is of transcendent
Importance. Our gallant sons are
dying on land, on sea and in the

They do not die as Democrats. They

CHICAGO, July 21.-President
Roosevelt chose the dramatic
setting Of a bristling wartime
naval base to flre his first shot
in quest of fourth term, an

order to bring about his plans
for battle triumph, postwar
prosperity and surety against
another global explosion.
Once more, the three time Presi-

packed Chicago Stadium last night

to sit in hushed silence, lest they

outlined his case, though he insisted
he will not campaign ''in the usual

appropriate and moreover, he said
he doesn't have the time.
