I always try to think of the backbone of America. the men and women in the middle place in prosperity. who pay the bulk of taxation in the increased cost of rent. coal. clothes. food. and transportation. I want to fight for them because their special needs are neglected. As a Protestant it Is my duty to protect the civil and religious rights of the Catholic. I shall demand equal rights for the Jew. I shall oppose oppression of the Negro and discrimination against our naturalized citizen. I am opposed to the lawlessness. secrecy. methods. bigotry. and intolerance ofl the KuKlux Klan. In this matter the Constitution is my guide and I will follow its inspiration and abide the consequences.
