    "ocrText": "- -\nSIDNEY\nThe programs we need for prosperity are the programs set out\nby the Democrats. The Republican Party looks backward. They never look\nforward. They never have any remedies for conditions, with which we 3 are\nfaced. Whenever we are in a serious condition where there is a crisis\nyou will find that we have been taken out by the leadership of the\nDemocrats. Remember that, now.\nDon't send us another 80th Congress to tear the situation down.\nElect Earl Ludwig from this District to be your Congressman. Elect\nFrank Lausche for Governor. You dan't possity go wrong.\nYou know, the best way to vote for yourself and your own interests\nis to get up early in the morning on VNovember 2nd and go to the polls.\nVote that Democratic ticket straight and you'll be voting for yourself\nand your own interests, and I'll stay in the White House for another 4 years\nand won't have a housing problem myself.\nI want to thank your Mayor most sincerely for his cordiality and\ncourtesy to me this morning. I appreciate it most highly.\nI want to thank you again for turning out this way. The people\nwant to know the facts. In order to get those facts they've got to come\nout and hear what I have to say because they can't find out about it any\nother way. These people won't talk about these issues. They are not\ninterested in your welfare. They are interested in obtaining power for\nthe special interests of the country. Don't let them do it."
