Senator KENNEDY. Governor Williams, the next
Governor, John Swainson, ladies and gentlemen, my friend and colleague,
Senator McNamara; Friday night we campaigned in Portland, Maine, Saturday
at noon we went to San Francisco, Saturday night we went to Alaska; tonight
we are in Detroit. We did not make that trip for pleasure. We made it because
we believe it is vitally important that the Democratic Party win this election.
This country cannot afford, nor can the whole free world afford, 4 more
years of a do-nothing Republican leadership. [Applause.]
I am delighted to be here, to participate
in the Labor Day ceremonies tomorrow. It is a great occasion. But I can
assure you that if we are successful in the election in November that the
depression for this country will be over. [Applause.]
