I hope that we are successful.

I ask you to look ahead

This is a contest between two parties.

I think it can be. And I think in the final analysis it depends upon what we do here.

I think that if the federal government moved out of the program and withdrew its supports then I think you would have complete economic chaos.

If a Negro baby is born he has about one-half as much chance to get through high school as a white baby.

In the election of 1960, and with the world around us, the question is whether the world will exist half-slave or half-free.

I don't believe in big government, but I believe in effective governmental action.

I'm not satisfied when the United States had last year the lowest rate of economic growth of any major industrialized society in the world.

I'm not satisfied when we have over nine billion dollars worth of food - some of it rotting - even though there is a hungry world.

I think the case for the government intervention is a good one.

The question now is: Can freedom be maintained under the most severe attack it has ever known?

I should make it very clear that I do not think we're doing enough, that I am not satisfied as an American with the progress that we're making.

I think this country should move again.

I come today not as a citizen of Massachusetts, but as a fellow American.

But if, on the other hand, I should win the election, then I shall devote every effort of mind and spirit to fulfilling the oath of the Presidency.

I do not propose also to ask Cardinal Cushing to ask the Vatican to take some action.

He is the man who ran for help.
