Election

I want to emphasize that this is not a contest merely between Mr. Nixon and myself.

I hope that if we are unsuccessful in this campaign, that the campaign, itself, the issue of this election, we will give the next President of the United States, whoever he may be, a sense of purpose, a sense of his obligation to place…

This is a great country, but this country cannot move forward unless the people of this country will make a decision for progress on November 8.

This is an important election; in many ways it is more important than the election of 1932, for what was at stake in 1932 was the preservation of freedom here in the United States.

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 wanted Senator Johnson to run on this ticket for two reasons.

If we are elected, every American, man or woman, who seeks to work will find it in a growing and expanding economy.

I do not run for the Presidency because it is an easy job.

If we are elected, we are going to build an American security and an American defense second to none.

I think we can win the presidential election with your support.

I think California is the place to win this election.

I don't run for the office of the Presidency promising that if I am elected that life will be easy, but I do run for the office of the Presidency with the greatest possible confidence in this country.

I don't run for the office of the Presidency promising that if you elect me life will be easier.

We are running in this campaign train not only toward the city of Los Angeles, but we are running this campaign train all the way to Washington.

In many ways, this is the most important election since the election of Lincoln 100 years ago.

We are going to win this election and we are going to win it right here in the the State of California.

I don't run for the office of the Presidency promising that if I am elected life is going to be easy.

I am a candidate for the office of the Presidency.
