They have not said by their convention assembled that they -will hot offer Herbert Hoover to us for another term in office." "They have not told you that it tney succeed in November that they will not return to the old order of things and that they will not nominate a reactionary at their convention. "They ridicule and criticize Presi dent Roosevelt for what he has done, but offer no substitute for hi works, The only tangible thing they offer is a return to the party whose re cord has been one of reaction and 'rugged individualism.' The party who favors the few as against the many. Having progressed thus far, it be hooves us not to turn back. "There can be no turning back. The nation and the party must go tv ouf preat leader Our to continue the New ni Ko-ar Deal for every citizen a New Deal granting equal rights to all and special privileges to none; he concluded.
