The next 10 years, in short, will be a decade of opportunity.

One of the reasons why I am glad to come to Michigan is because I am running with distinguished, vigorous, progressive Democrats.

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.

The administration does not trust the people.

One of the great things about being a Democrat is you don't have to do what Mr. Nixon does, who keeps saying that parties don't mean anything.

Do you know that 35 percent of our brightest boys and girls who graduate from high school never see the inside of a college?

Either they don't have the money or they have to go to work, or they haven't an opportunity.

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?

We have many opportunities before us in the 1960's and many responsibilities.

Mr. Nixon is the intellectual heir to McKinley, Dewey, Landon, Coolidge, Harding, Taft, and the rest.

Let's start this country moving again.

That is why this question of American prestige is so important.

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

We are going to need a President and a party that can move.

And I don't believe in 1960 the American people are going to turn over the destinies of this State and the destinies of the United States to a party and leader who stands still.

The administration is afraid to tell the people the truth about their situation.

I believe the people of this country are strong enough and tough enough and courageous enough to know the truth.

We are not meeting that responsibility when our economy is slipping into its third recession in 6 years.

I believe that this report should be made public.

We must hold steadfastly to the Biblical injunction: 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth will make ye free.'

And today, when Mr. Nixon tells us all is well, when he tells us we never had it so good, when he wants us to be satisfied with the record of the last 8 years, you and I look to the future - we look at 1970, when the rest of the world…
