ARCNIVES "NATIONAL ADMIN. RECORDS AND "
Fellow Americans: It is my privilege and honor to be the guest
this evening of the Democratic National Committee in the great city of
Philadelphia--the rallying ground in the past of the Democratic Party.
It is an equal privilege and honor to be the guest of the great Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania, so ably represented in the United States Senate
by so distinguished a statesman, the ardent supporter of the Administration
and the President, my friend and colleague, Joe Guffey
And the
people of the city of Philadelphia may well be proud of the distinguished
Democrats that represent them in the United States Congress from six of
the city's seven Congressional Districts.
In former years the keynote of this occasion has been one of
celebration
As true Democrats we were naturally filled with pride at
the record of accomplishments of our party. But tonight we cannot celebrate.
The time for gaiety is over. This is a solemn hour--one of the most solemn
hours in American history It is time for serious talk. It is time that
we take an accounting. What progress have we made?
What does the
future hold in store?
