My fellow citizens, No man has ever had a more gracious introduction from a more noble woman than Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.

This campaign is more than a contest between two men. It is more than a contest between two parties. It is a contest between two philosophies of government.

We are told by the opposition that we must have a change, that we must have a new deal. It is not the change that comes from normal development of national life to which I object or you object, but the proposal to alter the whole foundations of our national life which have been builded through generations of testing and struggle, and of principle upon which we have made this Nation.
