Progress

We cannot expect to make good in a day or even a year the accumulated deficiencies of several years.

Only a strong and vital America can become the model of Democratic progress to the newly emerging nations who are looking for guidance and for help.

This is a campaign that must be won if we are going to move this country ahead.

I ask your support not merely for my candidacy or that of my colleagues, but I ask your support in choosing right for this country, in moving this country forward, in picking it up and sending it into the sixties to meet its…

I am confident that on Tuesday, November 8, the American people will not take the old, tired, wornout road, but instead will turn and decide to move forward into the wind, and demonstrate what this country can really do.

We are running as the candidates who believe in progress for our country.

I think you are here for the same reason that I am, because this is an important election, because we are Democrats, because we believe in progress, and because we are going to win.

We're never satisfied with things as they are.

Let's start this country moving again.

It is a contest between all those who look to the past, between all those who wish to stand still, and those who wish to move ahead.

Do you believe as an American citizen of this State and country that we can be led by a political party, the Republicans, who have stood still, who have opposed progress at every turn?

I look not to the past, but to the future.

The fact of the matter is that this State and the United States cannot sit still in the 1960's.

I want you to join me in serving this country and moving this country forward.

I think your presence here, whether you are Republican or Democrat, whether you wish to click with Dick or whether you wish to move this country forward.

It is more than a contest between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. It is a contest between the contented and the concerned, between those who wish to stand still and those who wish to move ahead.

I believe in 1960 the American people are going to move forward again.

Forward, and that is what this country must do, that is the direction it must take, that is the direction it will take November 8, when we make an affirmative decision.
