In the final analysis, the progress of our civilization will be retarded if any large body of citizens falls behind. Without the help of thousands of others, any one of us would die, naked and starved.

Inside the polling booth every American man and woman stands as the equal of every other American man and woman. There they have no superiors. There they have no masters save their own minds and consciences.

We have the men--the skill--the wealth--and above all, the will.... We must be the great arsenal of democracy.

We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.

We must recognize the fundamental rights of man. There can be no true national life in our democracy unless we give unqualified recognition to freedom of religious worship and freedom of education.

We want a Supreme Court which will do justice under the Constitution - not over it. In our courts we want a government of laws and not of men.

The constant free flow of communication amount us-enabling the free interchange of ideas-forms the very bloodstream of our nation. It keeps the mind and body of our democracy eternally vital, eternally young.
