Re CONGRESSMAN LYNDON JOHNSON SPEECH 8:00 P.M. May 22, 1948 WOOLDRIDGE PARK, AUSTIN, TEXAS KICK-OFF RALLY LBJA RECORD COPY THE CHALLENGE OF A NEW DAY A New Day Friends fellow citizens Texans Tonight I stand before you, humble but confident. We are launohing a new day in Texas politios. My hunbleness grows out of knowledge. Into the hands of the man you make your senator, you give your fate and mine. In that high-domed Senate Chamber sit the zen who will decide the destiny of all mankind. Eleven years have passed since first I stood, in this same park, and asked your vote for Congress. Tonight, the park's the same many of the faces are those of faithful friends. Some faces I miss. I miss their faces yet I spesk to them as well as you. Because I speak for peace the pease they died for. A Time for Sober Words Ten days ago, I had a choice between the easy way of asking you for rebleotion or a hard, sixty day cempaign in which the power of corporate interests will be pitted against me. I ohose the hard way. Too long the power of these absentee corporate groups has had its way in Austin. Tonight I want to look you in the eye and say what can be done to save our way of life. We Have a Job When men are big enough to meet it, every challenge brings a finer world. We stand, you and I, face to face tonight with the supreme challenge. Amerioa must lead the World. We have a job to do. - 1 -
