The Whole Campaign Was A Tragic Case

I Always Thought Of Myself As A Good Old South Dakota Boy Who Grew Up Here On The Prairie.

The Earth Has Enough Knowledge And Resources To Eradicate This Ancient Scourge. Hunger Has Plagued The World For Thousands Of Years. But Ending It Is A Greater Moral Imperative Now Than Ever Before, Because For The First Time Humanity Has The Instruments At Hand To Defeat This Cruel Enemy At A Very Reasonable Cost. We Have The Ability To Provide Food For All Within The Next Three Decades.

To Those Who Charge That Liberalism Has Been Tried And Found Wanting, I Answer That The Failure Is Not In The Idea, But In The Course Of Recent History. The New Deal Was Ended By World War Ii. The New Frontier Was Closed By Berlin And Cuba Almost Before It Was Opened. And The Great Society Lost Its Greatness In The Jungles Of Indochina.

It Doesn T Require Any Particular Bravery To Stand On The Floor Of The Senate And Urge Our Boys In Vietnam To Fight Harder And If This War Mushrooms Into A Major Conflict And A Hundred Thousand Young Americans Are Killed It Won T Be U.s. Senators Who Die. It Will Be American Soldiers Who Are Too Young To Qualify For The Senate.

I Seek To Call America Home To Those Principles That Gave Us Birth.
