THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
Mr. Chairman, distinguished guests and fellow Democrats!
We membors of the Democratic Party are gathered tonight,
here in Providence, picturesque capital of the Plantation State,
to pay tribute to the memory of a real friend of the people, the
founder of our Party, Thomas Jefferson.
It is especially pleasant to be here with my good frienda
and colleagues, your distinguished Senators, Peter G. Gerry and
Theodore Francis Green, both of Providence, and your progressive
Governor, the Honorable J. Howard McGrath.
We Democrats are meeting here in answer to our Party's call.
That call is an old habit of the Democratic Party. By custom it goes
out to us, season after season, in a spirit of comradeship, rooted in
convictions that run deep with us - democratic convictions that we
all share.
By custom we answer that call in a spirit of loyalty to our
party and in the strength of those convictions. The tradition is close
to our hearts. de see in it a chance to be, above all, good citizens;
and in that process, good Democrats.
Tonight our party's call sounds a new note. It goes out,
in this crucial yesr of 1945, not only to the Democrats of the Nation,
but to the American people -- all the people who share with us the
REVAIRS
conviction, the heartfelt yearning for a lasting peace.
