VALENTINE, TEXAS (Rear platform, 5:20 p.m.)

It certainly is a pleasure to have a chance to meet you. I appreciate the privilege of riding across the great State of Texas with your Congressman Ken Regan and your Governor Jester, Sam Rayburn, and the Attorney General of the United States, Tom Clark.

It has been an education indeed to see the bright and shining faces in these towns. Everybody seems to be happy, and everybody seems to he interested in the welfare of the United States, because you have come out to meet your Chief Executive and look him over and see what you think of him.

I hope that when election day comes around, that every single one of you will go to the polls and vote the Democratic ticket straight, and that will keep the country safe for the people; because the issue in this campaign is the difference between the interests of the country as a whole and the special interests who are trying to take over the Government.

I think, if you study the record of the 80th Congress, you will find that their interest is the special interests, that it was run by lobbyists and other special interests that were not the interests of the people.

Your choice on election day will he between the people and the special interests. Now be sure and go out and do your duty on that day, and you will not be sorry for it.
