Iof four depression years under
Hoover-when over a period Of
SO years, from 1920 to 1856, it
can offer nothing better than
Teapot Dome-the great depres-
sion-and Nixon, Dixon and
Yates. as we'll as Benson and
McCarthy-a party whose real
life blood has been legislation
originated and sponsored by the
Democratic Party that you are
listening to tonight.
Young People of America
this Is a magnificent Nation we
are talking about-a Nation that
walked upon the paths Of history
less than four hundred years
ago-fearing God and cultivating
the soil-the newest of all the
great nations and the greatest OF
them all-yet despite its youth
the oldest republic and oldest
democracy now surviving yet q
Nation still so young and stall
wart that the hopes and aspira-
tons Of the human race are de-
pendent upon us.
Join us, young people Of Amer
lea. in the support of the Demo
cratic Party that possesses the
leadership and experience to con-
duct the affairs of America sue
cessfully on the home front and
on world missions. to your future
happiness and success.
! Women of America - your
magnetic leadership and influ-
lence on public affairs have in
creased so sharply in the past
few generations that the strength
lis yours to decide and chart
what great social, political and
economic courses America shall
lundertake-and what party shall
be entrusted with them. The
Democratic Party appeals to you
tonight to join in this great
cause in which you. who offer
your own flesh and blood for the
security of the world, have the
greatest stake of all.
a.. Our love for you is not
on enforced expedient Of poll
tics -.
Aged people of America-you
I who have lived, served, and now
face the twilight Of life-can
place your hand in ours. Every
phase of the social security leg
Iislation you now enjoy was born
in the breast of the Democratic
Party. Our love for you and our
understanding Of your problems,
as the span Of life grows happily
longer in America, is not an en-
forced experience of politics, but
a natural fellowship and affec-
ton.
Laboring men and women Of
Americav-our effective. happy
and harmonious relationship
with you dates back to the
earliest days of American his
tory. To hear the Republicans
tell it. all the troubles of the
American farmer today should
be blamed on labor and its
wakes. 1t took a long fight fol
labor to work its way up into
the decent brackets of the wage
dollar market.
We are fighting for the right OF
the laboring man and his wife
and his children to live in this
country on a basis of equality
acceptance and dignity-along-
side other groups and professions
not to be the subjest of slur-
ring remarks from Cabinet level
of the Republican Party-nor the
victim, as your costs of living
rise. and your other problems
persist, of unfair tax bills or
other national legislation. Your
destiny lies with ours!
Small businessmen of America
your calm. business judgment
dictates the wisdom of Demo-
cratic Party affiliation. At this
moment in American political
history, you are in the same cate
CORY of the outcaSt with the
farmer and the laboring man in
sofar as this special privilege,
big business and big industry
Republican administration in
Washington is concerned. What
else could be expected of a crowd
whose policy. as expressed by its
great sage of silence"-Charles
E. Wilson, is that whats good
for General Motors is good for
the country?
Big businessmen of America
the idea that generates the big
business of America-that makes
lit strong and effective-the idea
of a mass market supported by
high wages-is a Democratic
idea. The Democratic Party is
not opposed to big business. The
Democratic Party has nurtured
the conditions in this country
that have permitted business to
grow. But the Democratic Party
insists on democratic govern
ment. government without fear
or favor, a government of all
the people--not just a big BUSH
ness government dominated by a
big business few.
Farmers Of America-Come on
home before it's too late. Your
lands are studded with the white
skulls and cross-bones OF broken
Republican promises.
How long, o America, shall
these things endure?
How long. o, people Of
America. will you permit the
welfare Of this democracy to be
pounced on in the home LAND.
and gambled on abroad?
