I stand where Franklin Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman stood, and I want your help.

I don't say that all people have equal talent, but what I do say is that everyone should have their chance to develop their talent equally.

So I come to Brooklyn to ask your help in this campaign, and if we are elected, we are going to go to work.

I come over here to Brooklyn in this campaign to ask your help.

I run against a candidate who in 1960 says we have never had it so good.

I urge that it be given careful study, not only by urban officials, but also by all others concerned with life in our cities.

I believe that it is time this country began to move forward again.

The real issue is which party and which candidate can best strengthen the United States, can best serve the public interest.

I think it is time we started moving ahead as Americans and as believers in freedom.

I want it said at the end of our administration, if we are successful, that every American had an equal chance, every American had a fair chance to develop his talents, and that is all we ask and that is all that any American asks.

I come here tonight to ask your support in this campaign.
