“In accepting the nomination as
the standard-bearer of Democracy in
the Fifth Congressional District, I
propose to meet all comers in the dis
trict or the nation without quibble and
without apology. In standing on the
Democratic platform and squarely for
•the Democratic nominees, I give my
pledge of fidelity with pride in the
achievement of my party, and the
great, deep conviction that the not
ional Democratic Part.* which enacted
more legislation for the good of hu
manity during the first half of the
present administration than the Re
publican party has done in its life
time, is today the surest guardian of
safe and sane legislation for the
■masses of America. Of course, 1
would net be so foolish as to say that
no mistakes had been made during
the present administration; but I do (
declare that no President and no
Party ever faced SU<*h a stupendous
task as President Wilson and the
Democratic Party have faced, during
the first half of this administration.
“Two millions of men mobilized,
munitioned, equipped with instru
ments of warfare and food and
clothes and hurried three thousand
miles away, with two million more
ready to follow, and six millions more,
registered and ready to follow them.
The prompt and resolute action of
America had caused Germany to
throw up her hands so soon, bringing
the war to a close a year-and-a-half
earlier than experts had calculated,
and leaving loss than a hundred thous
and brave American boys beneath the
poppies of France when all competent
observers had expected the loss of a
million -of men. It is the greatest
achievement any nation ever made
j in the history of mankind. And yet
countless Republican Critics and some
j Democratic Critics are spending their
time looking for spots on the sun!
Why not thank God for the victor, and
shoulder the responsibility like grate
ful American Citizens?
“One day in Congress when Re
publican bitterness and criticism were
being heaped on the Democratic
Party about the. cost, of the war, 1 1
got up and reminded them that when
a man’s house is on fire, he has no;
time to call up the neighboring towns)
by telephone and get the cheapest
bids from the fire companies, in an
effort to put out the fire. The world
was on fire—-America was in danger,)
and our leaders in the army and navy
were not told to try and save money I
hut rather to spend money like water j
in an effort to save our flag and our (
homes. When Critics talk to me j
about the cost of the war and try to i
blame it on the Democratic Party I
remind them as I reminded Congress
