country into the Korean War

the finest boys in the land are

These principles have not changed

I have said the same thing
about the great cause of equal
rights for all men, in Virginia
and in Harlem. I have not been
an isolationist in Chicago and
an internationalist in New York.
I have not praised my friend in
one breath and then moved on
quickly to grasp hands with
those who slander him.
We have talked to-not down
or up-we have talked to the
American people. This is the
beginning of our answer to men
and women who are saying:

no compromising what some
mistakenly think as our weak
nesSes."
It was a great poet who said:
"Not failure but low aim is
crime" Those who aspire to
the leadership of America, if
they offer Americans something
unworthy of their own beliefs
and interests, will fail.
I do not say to you that I, or
any member of our party, has a
vision of America large enough
that its people will not outstrip
that vision in a score of years.

BY the ASsocioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 20. The
Transcribed tert OF Gou. Steuen-
sons address at Madison Square
Garden last night tolloUS:
Mrs. Roosevelt, Senator Leh-
man. distinguished guests and
my friends in New York:
Applause wasn't compulsory
at that point. 1 want to say to
you that I am very much fiat
tered to be introduced for the
second time today by the most
beloved lady in the land, Flea
nor Roosevelt. I should like if
I could at the outset to extend
my best wishes, the best wishes
of a companion in arms to all
of my fellow candidates here
on the platform this evening and
most especially to my friend,
our great candidate for the
United States Senate from the
Empire State. John Cashmere,
and I should like to say that he
has never been in the dark even
if the lights go out occasionally.
We are reaching the final
hours of the long campaign
course. A week from today you
and millions of your country
men will retire to the solitude
of the voting booth for a mo-
ment of communion with your
conscience. The blare of the
loudspeakers will be silenced.
The Republican air raid will be
over. The all-clear will have
sounded, the candidates, the
politicians, the experts, the poll
sters will all have slipped into
the shadows, and the people will
take the stage.
AS I speak here I am aware
that the world will quickly for
get what I say tongiht, but will
(cries of mo. no" from
audience)-oh, yes it will-but
it will long remember what you
do on next Tuesday, and I will
long remember your welcome to
me, a son of Illinois, here IN
New York tonight.

History Offers Many
Warnings Against Course

The other answer, which has
come so often these past two
months, is the assurance that
great general will somehow
continue to deal with these
problems fairly and justly. It
is in no disreSpect that we say
this is not only too little; it is
dangerously too much. A de-
mocracy cannot afford to make
its elective process simply a
determination to rely on the
unrevealed wisdom of one man.
History offers too many warm
ings against that course.
On July IL in Chicago, speak
ing to a group Of old line
Republican leaders, the man
who was then seeking the Re-
publican nomination sought to
reasSure his listeners against
their doubts about his political
qualifications. Would he do
what they were asking in effect
what they considered necessary
to win the election? He gave
them full and sufficient assur-
ance, and these were his words,
In the military, when strategi-
cal principles conflict with the

goes" which means that long
term programs are not nearly
so important as winning the
next battle.
Now. it is not perhaps for me
to argue before the bar of the
American people whether
background of military or civil
ian experience is a better quail
if1cation for the presidency.
Anything might say would be
misinterpreted as denial of
my unqualified respect for those
who have served their country
with courage and with devo-
ton. Yet the Republican can
didate, drawing upon his won
military experience to explain
his campaign tactics, gives
those tactics he has subse-
quently employed a fuller
meaning which the voters of
America are entitled to have
made clear-high prices, labor
relations, farm program. social
security. communism. Are these,
in the Generals view, all mat
tiers right now only of cam
paign tactics? Are America S

Republicans Win All
Battles But Lost

Ever since 1882 this same
electoral drama has been re-
enacted with remarkably SIM
liar scenes and with the same
happy ending because the Re-
publicans have at their dis
posal all of the campaign as
sets that money can buy. They
have everything on their side
except the people. And so our
Republican friends celebrate
all of their conquests and trl-
umphs in advance of the elec-
ton. They win all of the battles
except the last one, but the big
one is the last one, as all gen.
erals should know.
1t comes in November, and
that's when they discover that
the most powerful publishers.
the loudest commentators and
the noisiest demagogues are
each. by the blessed rules OF
our democracy, entitled to cast
one vote, even as you and I.
So into the life of a Repub-
lican each four years there
comes that terrible morning
after when the grand old party
is over. There comes the gray,
the aching dawn Of disaster
again and again and again.
To stand here in Madison
Square Garden on this tradi-
tional occasion is to be en-
veloped with the memories of
two great men of this State
and of the Democratic Party,
Alfred Smith and Franklin
Roosevelt. 1t was these men
who led the Democratic Party
to it's great revival. Picking up
after a long period of Republi-
can rule and ruin. they gave to
New York State and then to this
Nation a whole, complete pro-
gram of liberal social reform.
They took up once more the
spirit of the idea of an immortal
America, that government must
be of the people, for the people
and by the people. 1t is the
principle immortalized at Get
tysburg which animates and
guides our party today, the prin-
ciple of government with
heart, government not content
with merely governing, but dedi-
Gated to rejecting and express

needs. their dreams, their high

Has Tried to Present
Democratic Program

I've tried to do this for you,
for the Democratic Party, for
the Independents who wear no
label, to the fullest of my abil-
ity. have enjoyed it. There
have been great satisfactions in
honoring as best I could my
commitment to talk sense to the
American people. But there
has been no opportunity for ac-
tual debate, for evidently part
of the price Of the embrace at
Morningside Heights has been
to lay no affirmative program
before this Nation for it's ap-
proval.
The general headquarters Of
the great crusade are agreed
upon what they are against,
which is in a word Democrats,
but they are not agreed on what
they are for, and the record is
clear that most of what they
are for is what most of the
people of America are against
and have been for years.
So, speech after speech has
come forth from the Republican
rostrums always in the same
pattern, volumes of sound about
all that the Democrats have
done wrong, followed by an
angels choir in-costume, of
course.
The biggest single fact before
the American people in this elec-
ton is that there is no Repub-
lican program for the future. It
is not enough that they tell us
they are against high prices. 1t
is not enough that they tell us
they cry out in alarm about false
prosperity. They offer no facts
to support their prophecies of
doom and no evidence that they
have departed from their 1880
| patented formula or let boom
and let bust.
1t is not enough to be told
that every decent Republican
hates communism. So does every
loyal American. What we wanted
to know was how the Republican
leadership would meet this prob
lem, and of that we know noth-
ing except that the general gives
us his assurance that we can do
it justly and fairly and in full
observance of the American sys-
tenn of justice. We do not know
whether the Republican program
would include fighting COM
munism by helping our allies, as
the general professed before he
was candidate or whether he
changed his mind when he took
up Senator Taft's demand for
tax reductions that could only
be accomplished by virtually
halting all aid to Europe. There
is no point in going on. The
pattern is clear on issue after
issue. To recognize the problem,

People Willing to Do
More Than Before

To travel this country, as I
hove. these past two months,
Is to realize that there is new
force alive in America. People
are looking for something more
in the conduct Of their public
affairs. I sense at this mid
point of this great century of
revolution a kind of driving de-
sire in people to find a more
exalted meaning in democracy.
They are willing to do, for their
part, more than they have done
before, and they are demanding
OF those who would be their
leaders, some new, not wholly
defined, imperfectly perceived
element Of uplift in the eXecu-
tion of democracy's purpose.
The record of this election
will be the record of the re-
sponse of our two great parties
to this challenge of the people.
History will record that the Re-
publican Party rose last spring
from a generation of lethargy
and caught. for a moment, the
spark IF this new desire and
exaltation.
They Graded the fire in the
slogan of change, and then as
the Nation cheered. the Repub-
lican Party cast out its old and
weary rigid leadership and
turned instead to a man whose
name had become a national
symbol of high purpose. His
tory will record too, however,
that The spark which had been
kindled in the higher desires
of thousands of our Republican
friends was then snuffed out in
a sordid triumph of expediency
over principle
These hopes and aspirations
were shaken to their roots when
the Republican crusader said 81
do" to the lifelong cheerleadel
for a dear departed past that il
also dead.
Those quiet hopes were wholly
destroyed in the chain reaction
of compromise which followed
the first surrender of principle
to expediency. Today there il
the dreary dullness of disillu'
sion, the stark realization tina
the venerable Republican Part,
!. has within it forces of reaction
once more unconquerable.

good for the spirit and I hope
the Republicans don't contem-
plate any legal prohibitions
against it.
I can approach this day of
the peoples judgment with the
confidence that I have never
attempted to be different things
to different things to different
men. There is only one candidate
for the presidency on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
1t will never, I hope. be said
that the Governor Of Illinois
has ever whispered anything
to the Governor of South Caro-
lima that he would not say aloud
to the Governor of New York.

Democrats Held Ready
To Meet Challenge

Are no long-term answers
necessary? Is it just bread and
circuses? And If there has to
be an answer, is it to offer fair
ness and justice? The services
of a man whose familiarity in
viteS respect?
In this record is the complete
rejection by the Republican
Party of what have called
earlier the new force alive in
America today, the desire of
people to find a new, a more
exalted kind of meaning in the
public life of this democracy.
Are we ready, we of the Dem
ocratic Party, to meet this chal-
lenge? I say that we are. An
awareness of it has been the
guiding star of this campaign.
I have spent, and my COL
leagues with me, two long-yes,
hard-months spelling out a
complete program of policy for
the people to consider and to
vote on next Tuesday. In any
campaign there may be some
words uttered that one wishes

Democrats extend a warm, af-
fectionate welcome to these
countless thousands of coura-
geous soldiers, these refugees
from all walks of life who were
thrilled by the generals victory
in Chicago and are now dis
heartened by this negotiated
peace with the enemy. 1t has
been part of the price of that
surrender that much of the
purpose Of this campaign and
this election has been lost for
US as well as them. America
faces today great questions Of
its destiny. This should have
been a time in this campaign
for the two great parties to lay
before America their precise

Have Learned to
Plan Boldly

You want the tremendous
affairs of America so admin
istered so that you can live in a
world of plenty and of peace.
You accept the obligations of
leadership of the world of free
nations, asking only that these
obligations entail no more of
sacrifice than is wholly essential
and required. We have learned
that to act with enthusiasm
and faith is the condition of
acting greatly.
We have learned that to plan
boldly is to make dreams come
true. We offer for America,
for leadership, no fear. no coun-
sells of little cautiousness-
nothing small and petty. Fac
ing America, we offer an aware
ness of it's call for something
better, and nothing less than
the finest which is in us.
And finally, my friends, you
have been very patient, and I
have some good news for you.
