CHICAGO.-KEYNOTER-Gov
pictured the Republican party
keynote address to the Republ
Democrat in tie White House. But
out where the people live, the
country is predominantly Repub-
lican.
In those 26 Republican States, the
people have already elected the
kind Of government which the job
ahead of us requires.
They are determined, this year
to have more of that kind of Gov
eminent. They are determined to
have more of it in the States. They
are determined to have more of ii
in Congress. They are determined
to have more of it-and a great
deal more Of it-in the White
House.
In those States where the people
have returned to the Republican
party, Government is not only for
the people, but of and by the people
That means not some of the people
but all Of the people. Their kind
of representative Government
reaches from ocean to ocean and
from border to border. 1t extends
to both sides of the tracks. It in
cludes every citizen. That is why
the platform of this convention
will be one on which all of us can
stand together-not divided by race
or creed, not as minorities or ma
1orities, but as fellow Americans.
Lauds COP Regimes.
No party that stands for less
than that can unite America. A
better world for others must begin
with us. That is why in rs OF
our States it has already begun.
In those States which are al
ready Republicans, you will find
the record of public administration
is progressive, enlightened and in
the public interest. In those States
you will find increased emphasis
upon the public health, upon free
education, upon care for orphaned
and neglected children, upon sup
port for the aged, for the victims
OF industrial accidents, for those
handicapped by physical disabili-
ties, and for the victims, of eco
nomic misfortune.
Those are the States of this
Union where labor has achieved its
highest dignity; where labor anc
management have come to their best
understanding: where they have
learned to work together most eff
fectively. where, together, they arr
doing the best job.
They Produce the Gools.
What is the result of that kline
OF Government? I can tell you
/ can tell you in terms that every
American with a son fighting over.
seas will understand. To win tn,
war in the air, those Republican
States have been called on to pro.
duce more than 81 per cent of al
our airplanes. To win the war a.
sea, those States have been callee
on to produce more than rs pe,
cent OF all our ships. To win the
war on land, those States have
been called on to produce more
than 81 per cent of all our ord
nance-and more than SO per cent
OF all our other fighting equipment
The American people were intro
duced, not long ago, to DR.. Win
the-War. From the record of these
States it is clear that DR.. Win-the.
War is Republican.
But this war cannot be fought
and won as Republicans or Demo.

Share Responsibility.
In or out of office, Republican.
and Democrats share the RESPONSE
biity OF winning the war. We want
TO share 1t in the same spirit ir
which the sons of all of us fight
from the same fox holes, through
the same jungles, across the. same
beaches. In the same ships at ses
and in the air.
