I wish to say that the Progressive Party is making its appeal to all our fellow citizens without any regard to their creed or to their birthplace.
I will accept the nomination for President if it is tendered to me, and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference.
Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.
