If you lock at the record, you\ncan't help but 20 to the polls on election day, as you have\nusually done here in this district, only do it with a more\noverwhelming majority this time. Vote the straight Democratic\nticket and let us have a Government that believes in the wel-\nfare if the people, and nit a Government that believes in the\nwelfare of special interests.\nIt's a wonderful thing, a wonderful thing to have you\nturn out like this at this time of day. It shows that you are\ninterested in the issues in this campaign. It shows that the\nRepublicans are not fooling you a bit, and I'm glad of that.\n# # it #"
