Once Upon A Time My Political Opponents

You Convey Too Great A Compliment When You Say That I Have Earned The Right To The Presidential Nomination. No Man Can Establish Such An Obligation Upon Any Part Of The American People. My Country Owes Me No Debt. It Gave Me, As It Gives Every Boy And Girl, A Chance. It Gave Me Schooling, Independence Of Action, Opportunity For Service And Honor. In No Other Land Could A Boy From A Country Village, Without Inheritance Or Influential Friends, Look Forward With Unbounded Hope. My Whole Life Has Taught Me What America Means. I Am Indebted To My Country Beyond Any Human Power To Repay.

Prosperity Is No Idle Expression. It Is A Job For Every Worker; It Is The Safety And Safeguard Of Very Business And Every Home. A Continuation Of The Policies Of The Republican Party Is Fundamentally Necessary To The Future Advancement Of This Progress And To The Further Building Up Of This Prosperity.

The American People Are Doing Their Job Today. They Should Be Given A Chance To Show Whether They Wish To Preserve The Principles Of Individual And Local Responsibility And Mutual Self-help Before They Embark On What I Believe To Be A Disastrous System. I Feel Sure They Will Succeed If Given The Opportunity.

I Shall Tell My Doctors Baseball Has More Curative Powers Than All Their Medicine.

More Than Ten Million Women March To Work Every Morning Side By Side With The Men. Steadily The Importance Of Women Is Gaining Notonly In The Routine Tasks Of Industry But In Executive Responsibility. I Include Also The Woman Who Stays At Home As The Guardian Of The Welfare Of The Family. She Is A Partner In The Job And Wages. Women Constitute A Part Of Our Industrial Achievement.
